So I used it for the first time this week and I loved it for the most part. I think I messed up when I unscrewed one of the parts for the strainer but was able to fix it and still get the end result. I will say it’s definitely smaller then what I expected.

This little tea pot is adorable! It appears to hold about a cup of liquid in the top and the same in the bottom, give or take a few ounces, so a small cup of tea. I have to drink a daily herbal blend and this little tea pot is perfect for that! I can put the herbs in, let it steep then flip the switch to let the tea drain to the bottom. Where it is clear, I can steep it until the color is right, too.

We love teapots, and the magical button on the side that releases the steeped tea into the bottom chamber was too hard to pass up. Unfortunately, there were issues…The instructions indicated there was a silicone tube attached to the bottom of the inner chamber that should be removed. It was not attached. I think it’s to keep the mechanism from rattling during shipment, maybe to keep it from damaging itself. I did find the tube burried in the packaging.The first time I assembled the pot and gave it a trial run using just hot water, the water flowed right through, even with the switch in the upper/closed position. When I went to pour out the water, the inner chamber fell out and the edge cracked and broke off (see photo). This was because the rubber feet that are supposed to hold it in place weren’t strong enough… or maybe you’re just not supposed to pour unless the top is on.Subsequent tries, even with the cracked rim, did work. So rather than returning for a refund, I put in a request to have a replacement unit sent so I can try again. I’ll up the score if I have better luck with the new unit.

I love tea but HATE over steeped tea. I’m also very forgetful so I frequently forget to remove the tea ball. This fixed my problem. Also I love watching the tea drop down. I’m easy to entertain. It came well packaged and was easy to put together.

This is a really neat idea for a teapot. The teapot is well-made, and the glass is crystal clear with no defects. Despite being unique, the mechanism is simple, and the whole teapot consists of only three easily cleaned pieces. The filter works well for tea and filters out even the fine particles that often sneak through when making Chai tea. The only negative is that despite being listed as 27.5 ounces, the brewing chamber is far smaller than this. The brewing chamber is only about 8 ounces, which is enough for a typical cup of tea. Since I usually drink iced tea or Chai tea, this is a little smaller than I would like. The brewing chamber works well, and a magnetic release lets the brewed tea flow to the main chamber, making a nice display while doing so. The product description and photos are accurate, and it arrived in seven days without any issues. I would get this again, but I would like to see one with a larger brewing chamber.

This teapot exceeded my expectations in every way. The glass material is clear and durable, allowing me to see the tea leaves unfurl as I steep. The strainer is perfectly sized and easy to clean, making it a breeze to brew loose-leaf tea.I adore the magical design, which features a beautiful witchcraft-inspired pattern. The teapot looks stunning on my tea table, and it’s become a conversation starter whenever I have guests over.The 600ML capacity is perfect for brewing a pot of tea for one or two people. The teapot is also easy to clean and maintain, making it a practical addition to my tea collection.

This is a well made tea pot with a really neat feature. It is made of glass, wood and has a few metal parts. Everything fits together as you would want. Put your tea in the top glass, let it steep, pull the slide down on the side and your brewed tea fills the bottom. You can put about 27 ounces in the pot as webpage says. There are no instructions included in the box, which is made so there is no way your pot will break unless used as a football. Making a cup is easy to learn though and the instructions are on the webpage.If you are looking for an easy way to make a few servings of tea check this out. You can measure exactly what you want and you will get a good pot of tea.

This is a very clever and appealing product, but maybe they miscalculated their metric to US measures or something.I filled the top brewing portion with a teaspoon of tea and then so much water that some was squashed out when I put the lid on. After brewing, I had it drop to the bottom dispensing portion, and then poured it into a measuring jug. The measuring just reported almost exactly 6 oz of tea, which aligned with what I observed in a mug – the mug was less than half-full.Don’t get me wrong. I love the cleverness of the magnetic control of the valve in the top, and it is generally a nice product. But 20 oz? It is not quite one third, which means only enough to make one small cup of tea for oneself, definitely not enough to make “tea for two” (or more). So, totally not as described and really only useful as a decoration, not an actual working tea pot.I suspect the larger size pot will also translate down to another three-times-smaller actual capacity.

The pot is small. Really small. It barely makes a mug of tea. Ok… well, if you have a special tea that you want to enjoy a proper cup, not a mindless mug, this is perfect.The mechanism works if you are again, mindful, when you assemble it. It’s not a quick process to make tea with this like plopping a teabag in a cup.I took a star off for the price as it is a bit steep, but it is a quality product and if you have the money to spend it’s well worth it.

This tea pot is perfect for those one plus cups of tea. It has a really interesting seep function, the boiling water sits in the strainer until you release it via the handle toggle. I was wondering what kind of magic it had because the switch and the drainage are not connected in any way. My husband figured it out and apparently there is a really strong magnet that releases once you hit the switch allowing the tea to flow into the pot. Pretty cool actually. The handle if I recall said it was wood, but actually it’s plastic with a wood grain finish, not a game changer but it thought I would clarify. The top cover seats nicely on the pot with a rubbery gasket to keep it in place. Overall I think it’s pretty nice and functional I really like it.

You can tell these instructions were translated and are a little confusing. There is a plastic tube that holds the steel ball in place for storage, but doesn’t state if it serves a purpose. Turns out that its just for storage. If the tube is in place it doesn’t work correctly to hold the liquid. You must remove the tube so it will hold the water. Once you lift the lever it will drain your liquid! Very cool! Highly recommend this as a gift to tea lovers!

I’ve always wanted to try one of these and I really enjoyed this one. This is mainly for single serve tea seeping. The magnet works well and releases the steeped tea into the main area and then you pour the tea into your cup.I will probably order a bigger one to steep more tea at once.

First thing to understand, this is not a teapot designed to serve all your friends. It’s obviously designed to be a 1-2 serving pot. I noticed complaints of cost, but considering the quality, ingenuity, and novelty of the pot, it seems reasonable to me.It only has 3 pieces for assembly, very easy. The glass is tempered so hot liquids can be poured in without breaking. My favorite part is the glass chamber for seeping. It fits comfortably and quietly (no clanking glass-note the contact barrier between, pictured).There’s a lever on the side that releases the tea through a fine filter to the pour chamber below, when you’re ready-see the video. Total visibility gives you complete confidence to know when it’s done. It operates through a magnetic field from the lever in the handle. How ingenious is that! I did note a couple of drops that dripped while seeping, but quite insignificant. My tea was perfect.I threw out the tea particles and rinsed. That simple!

This thing works well and is nice and classic looking. You can steep a tea bag or free floating tea leaves as you wish. Just put about 6oz of hot water in and when you’re ready move the knob down and it lifts the stopper using a magnet to pour your tea into the carafe. Pour it into a glass and enjoy!Love it!

This is perfect for loose leaf tea, and I LOVE how it looks. It’s so awesome to see the little metal ball blocking things as it seeps through, and then you just pour out the tea that you got. It’s awesome. I’ve tried so many other things for loose leaf tea (and haven’t been able to find the one that I loved that ended up falling and cracking,) so it’s wonderful to finally have something that works well again!

I received the 600 ml pot, which is just enough for two cups of tea. I put my tea into the upper chamber, then pour boiling water over it. I leave the (very!) strong magnet in the open position, so the water fills the entire pot. When the tea is finished brewing, you can either leave the brewing chamber in and pour out a cup, or you can lift out the brew chamber (leaving it open to drain). I place it in the upturned lid, which holds it and any drips. The pot is much easier to clean of loose tea leaves than the mesh strainers I have used. I like this pot very much. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and you can see the lovely color of your tea.

This is a great steeping teapot (that can also be used with coarse ground coffee in a pinch). It has a clever magnetic latch mechanism to let the water drain that is great if you like to steep for a long time. It’s easy to clean and has a really nice looking design.

This thing is either using magnets or the spirits of the dead. Or maybe magnets powered by the spirits of the dead. Either way, it’s really cool. It’s not huge–it will make one or two cups of tea at a time. Because it isn’t double-walled, it won’t keep the tea hot for a long time, but for two people, it would be perfect. And who wouldn’t rather have tea with a friend? For the size and all, the price seems a bit high (even with the magic). Also, the handle is plastic, not wood which seems a bit mean at this price.One important thing to note: when you first get it, there is a rubbery bit under the strainer that is holding it open, so until you remove that, you aren’t going to steep a thing.

The pot is surprisingly fun to use and works very well. I bought this for my wife and she has used it a lot more then either of us expected. If I want to be nitpicky, I’d say it is a little smaller than I expected. This hasn’t caused an issue and it works exactly as it should. A must have if you are a tea enthusiast.

Have you ever struggled with loose tea and that little egg shaped tea holder? This tea pot is the solution to all of those problems. It brews loose tea so easy with easy cleanup. Best of all the tea tastes amazing. you can use tea bags also. Tea comes out so much better that just dunking the bag into a cup.

I like it. It’s cute and the tea looks nice while steeping and pouring into the bottom.As others have mentioned, it does not hold a lot…. a couple of normal cups or a larger mug. But then the tea also won’t go cold waiting for you to drink it.I doubt it will ever replace my in mug infuser for everyday use. But if I want to be a little fancy I’ll use it. Also useful if I want to brew another mug while finishing up my first one.

I finally received this teapot and it was definitely worth the long wait. This is a single serve glass and not intended for large brews. The craftmanship that went into this really good, super durable with heat resistant handles. The strainer mechanism works really well delivering the ultimate brew. All in all the looks amazing with a classic design and does a great job brewing and steeping drink. Plus it’s easy to clean. 5 stars here *****

A simple and pretty elegant design. The lever mechanism is fun to use although mine was a bit sticky at first, it had a catch in it. It seems to be working ok now but is still a bit fiddly, which is off-putting.The packaging is strong and the item is neatly stowed. The instructions are minimal but if you watch the videos you’ll get a better idea of how to use it. It’s pretty intuitive. And easy.I don’t like the fake “wood” plastic handle and top. They should have made it plain black. It would have been far more elegant instead of cheesy looking. That’s the only thing that would stop me from gifting it.Overall, it makes for an impressive visual; and does the job, despite its size.

The size is misleading in that even though the capacity of the resevoir is larger (27 ounces I think it states), the capacity of the brewing portion itself (at the top) is quite small and maybe holds one cup of tea, so you have to refill it with hot water and let it steep again before dispensing it into the resevoir with the first serving. It is pretty, and the tea does stay hot longer than it would just sitting in your cup. The design is aesthetically pleasing and impressive, really. It seems well made, with good quality borosilicate glass and well fitting parts. But it really is in need of a larger brewing portion.

I am truly enchantid with this tea pot. I don’t understand how the slide – mounted on the handle – affects the filter, letting it open so your brew can be enjoyed. Whether I understand it or not, I can enjoy the tea, the teapot and the wonder. If you love tea, this will add to your tea experience. I’m glad I picked this up.

making a cup of tea was interesting… the images made me think it would be twice it’s size and steep enough for full cup… naw you just have to fill your cup in batches. having to fill the steeping chamber 2-3 times to get the desired amount of tea makes this tea pot a one hit wonder, as in once you brew your first delicious cup of tea, it finds it’s way into a cabinet and is forgotten..

This is a product that looks great and works great, fundamentally. The aesthetics are very fine and the unique function is something to talk about, almost magic, like the video shows. The packaging is neat and orderly and presents the whole package with flair.This is a device for 1-2 glasses of tea with functionality to get the steep time just right without over-extracting. The built-in strainer is okay, but a bit of fines comes through and the little holes can get fine tea particles stuck inside (also note that you can disassemble (unscrew) the drain to clean out the insides better). You will want a finer strainer before drinking if you’re using loose teas/steeps, and if you disassemble to clean, watch out to not lose or damage parts.The top chamber only holds about 5 oz of liquid, so despite the 800mL stated capacity, you only get about 5 oz at a time (10 if you have some pre-brewed and poured more hot in the top). If you have a hot water pot nearby, it’s not as big a concern, but if you’re trying to make some volume of tea, you’ll find yourself having to make hot water again and again with the steeping pause in between.Note the tip of the pitcher is a little longer than usual, and a little more delicate, and the whole is not microwave, dishwasher, not stovetop compatible, so only use with tea and hot water (and things that tend to not get moldy).Note that despite all the function, the price, I think, is a little “steep.”

I gave this to a friend who loves tea. He really likes it! The magnetic release is “enchanting”! It is small, but great for his use. After seeing the product in person, I was disappointed by the plastic “woodgrain-looking” handle. For the price, It should have been real wood. Took off one star for being over-priced.

This MACTANO Enchanti Tea Pot, Magic Witchcraft Enchanted Glass Teapot with Strainer -600ML is perfect for what I need. I enjoy exploring the various flavor dynamics of multiple steeps of oolongs as well as certain traditional green and black teas, but it was always annoying having to have a whole separate strainer that you had to pull out of the tea pot. This combines the two in an innovative way that allows you to observe the beauty of the tea leaves as they steep as well as an easy way to explore what steeping times you like best for your various teas.I was impressed with how well the magnetic tea mechanism works for opening and closing the bottom of the tea strainer. Beyond being functional, it is also fun.One thing to note: while the outside tea pot can technically hold up to 600 mL of liquid, the inside strainer has a max capacity of just shy of 250 mL so that is going to be the max amount of liquid you’re going to get per steeping. This works well with smaller tea cups or gaiwans but will probably be too little for your more American sized mug.

The MACTANO Enchanti Tea Pot is easy to use. The mechanisms are clever, but so simple. They work exactly as advertised and I am happy with the results. The tea steeps thoroughly in a short amount of time because of how the chambers are designed. I like that the glass is thick and each piece fits together without clanking or wiggling. It shows the thought that went into the design. Overall, I am 100% satisfied with this tea pot. I love the way it looks and seeing the herbs seep in real time.5/5

The MACTANO Enchanti Tea Pot is as enchanting as its name suggests! The whimsical design and the quality of the glass make it a delightful addition to any tea lover’s collection. The built-in strainer works wonderfully, ensuring a smooth brewing experience.However, at 800ML, it only provides about one generous serving or two small ones, which might feel limiting for those who enjoy sharing tea with company. A slightly larger capacity would make this magical teapot even more versatile.Overall, a charming and functional piece for individual tea moments or cozy witchcraft-inspired vibes!

So this is a kind of clever invention that uses a magnet to keep the filter until you are ready then when you slide the lever down, the liquid goes to the bottom and the tea or coffee grind stay in the top. The bottom carafe holds 20 oz but the steeping area is only 10 oz so you have run it twice for your 20 oz tumblr. This eliminates the need for filters and infusers. It’s growing on me. Let me use it a few more mornings with various teas and coffees.

I bought this Enchanti Tea Pot as a gift for my girlfriend, who’s a big tea drinker. She seems to like it, and it definitely looks cool with its unique design. The glass is clear and allows you to see the tea brewing, which is a nice touch.However, it is quite small (only 600ml), so it’s really only suitable for making one or two cups of tea at a time. Also, I’m not sure it’s worth the price tag (close to $50). It seems a bit expensive for what it is, especially considering the small size.Pros:Unique and eye-catching designMade of durable borosilicate glassIncludes a strainer for loose leaf teaEasy to use and cleanCons:Small capacity (600ml)Pricey for the sizeOverall, this Enchanti Tea Pot is a decent option if you’re looking for something with a unique design. However, the small capacity and high price might be a drawback for some. If you’re a frequent tea drinker or need to make larger quantities, you might want to consider a larger teapot.

I ordered this at the beginning of Dec, thinking it would be a nice Xmas gift. It took a bit to get here, but I have to say, it was well worth the wait.At first I thought it was a gimmick, and though I thought I knew how it would actually work, and wasn’t expecting much, I was happily surprised by both it’s functionality and craftsmanship.It makes about one cup (small) of tea, about the size of a yunomi, or Japanese tea cup without a handle (as seen in the video), so something to be aware of. I let my tea steep for about 5mins, then flipped the switch into the down position, which “un-locks” the filter mechanism to strain the tea into the tea pot. I then refilled with more hot water, only gave it about a min, drained down, and then refilled with the previously steeped tea, to get two decent sized cups, that weren’t too strong or weak (by my standards).I love this thing, and only had it for a day. Bow X3 and 3 thumbs up!!! I’m planning on getting more as gifts for all my tea drinking loved ones, even if they just drink tea occasionally, it’s a great talking piece.

First off, as some have noted, it is true that in person it looks smaller than it appears in the pictures, but it holds the amounts advertised and is the size listed in the description, so it is just the pictures and not a product issue. And in terms of the product, this tea pot is easy to use and makes great tea. I love that I can steep my tea for however long I want and easily release the tea. This is so much easier than the strainer or ball methods I was previously using, and it is as beautiful as it is functional.

What can I say a good cup of black or green tea occasionally is great.The tea maker is solid.It is solid, it feels good, and it looks good, and it does its purpose makes tea and looks good doing it.The construction is solid no loose parts, the tea basket works well, and it looks good while doing it.If I were to change anything it would be the handle needs a little bit more refinement, maybe some texture to get a better hold, but in the end the wooden handle and lid are really a nice aesthetic touch!The assembly was pretty straight forward.The magnetic valve switch is pretty neat I have to admit, that really got attention!It makes a decent amount of tea, and it is a great conversation starter.Love it or leave it it is a great little team maker.Will update accordingly!

This is a neat little tea pot. It’s fun to use for yourself or maybe one other person, but it doesn’t make a whole lot at one time so it’s not for a crowd. It works pretty well and the strainer is very effective. My husband likes a big mug of tea, so he uses this to strain once, then just adds more hot water and uses the tea leaves again to make “the rest” of his mug. It’s not the most practical thing in my kitchen, but if all I used were practical things then life would be pretty boring. It’s a cute tea pot for a relaxing cup of tea.

This is great if you have a lot of loose leaf tea like me and you find those little mesh balls very annoying to empty and clean.I have an electric kettle so it’s super fast to make tea. It’s very sleek – my only complaint is I have granite and this is clearly not tempered glass. So I’m certain eventually I will drop it and it will crack or break. It’s a great size – I can get two large cups in the pot.The button is easy to work and won’t break. I love this for my ritual of tea in the AM!

This is a pretty little tea pot. I’ve really been loving it, but it took a minute. I’ve never used a teapot like this one and it didn’t come with any clear instructions on how to use it so I had to play with it a bit to figure it out. This is a great gift idea for any tea lover, but it took almost 2 weeks for it to ship, so make sure you plan ahead. It came nicely packaged and had no damage. I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

I will say this first, it is a really neat product, steeping chamber and drain is a lot of fun do and watch. Having said that it does have some minor issues. The mechanism does not quite work like I would expect, when taken apart for cleaning I was expecting a round ball that would fill in the drain no matter what direction, instead it is more like a cylinder, not always giving a proper seal. Next, I would not bother with the larger carafe because you can only steep so much at a time and in order to make a larger pot you need at least two or 3 steeps which would take about 10-15 minute if you steep each amount by 5 min. To be honest I would rather just get a tea bag and large mug. But even with this it is a neat item and the way the magnets work to raise and lower the stopper is fun.

As others have said it is small. The size listed must be the entire big pot and not what it makes in one sitting. The inner container where it steeps the leaves is about 8 oz so it will only make that much at one time. If you prefer a larger cup of tea you’ll need to repeat the process at least twice. That would be my only critique of the pot. Otherwise it works very well with the magnet style release. Super easy to disassemble for cleaning and reassemble after.

Tried this for the first time this week and, overall, it works well. I did have a small issue when unscrewing one of the parts for the strainer, but it was easy enough to fix without affecting the final result. The biggest surprise was the size—it’s much smaller than expected. The listed capacity seems to refer to the entire outer pot rather than the actual amount of tea it makes per use. The inner steeping chamber holds about 8 oz, so if you prefer a larger serving, you’ll need to brew multiple times.That said, the magnet-style release is a great feature, making the process smooth and efficient. Disassembling for cleaning is simple, and reassembly is just as easy. It has an appealing design and functions well, but keep in mind that it produces a smaller quantity of tea than the images might suggest.

Not as fond of this as I thought I would be. It is unusual, which I like. But it filters very slowly. By the time it has steeped and taken just as long to drain your beverage is not hot, even if you preheat it. I also tried it for coffee and that did work well at all. No star off forthat, it is a tea pot after all. The actual function of it is perfect, by pressing the magnetic it releases the water so that is fun to see. The glass feel thin, like a bump in the right spot would crack it but so far it is holding up well. 5 stars for novelty

This is so cute and has a really clever design. It’s definitely a little pricey for what it is, but it is a cool tea novelty and great for making teas that are good for multiple brews. It’s quite small so you ou don’t get a whole lot of tea at one time, so it’s probably not for you if you want a whole lot of tea at once. Still, it’s lovely and easy to use.

It took me a while to warm up to this particular teapot until I realized that it’s perfect for my pu’erh teas. It’s similar in some ways to some I have had, with some interesting differences. What first attracted me to it is that the inner tea strainer is made of glass, so there are no plastic parts touching the tea, and it is unadulterated from any possible chemical leaching or microplastics in the tea as it steeps. The part that took me the longest to warm up to was the magnetic control for opening the inner vessel to drain into the bottom of the pot. It feels a bit odd at first that it just drops like a rock once the movement is begun. However, I then realized that it also goes back into place, without requiring me to move the control, just using gravity when I empty the tea soup entirely from the pot. The things I don’t like are related to the lid’s not being stable when I pour, and it’s feeling as if it needs to be held in place during the pour (like most other teapots), but I have found that if I let go of that expectation, it stays on. All of that said, it has become a favourite everyday pot for my pu’erh teas, and has helped me get back into drinking them more regularly.Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful

Convenient! Works very well to filter very finely ground tea. Handles Hot water like a champ, BUT GET THE BIGGER SIZE. I opted for the smaller one but even as a one cup gal I wish I had gotten the larger one. One serving from this does not fill my mug. Does not crack when washed gently, it is dishwasher safe but I choose not to because our dishwasher is flawed. This is a lovely Tea Pot but I’m not sure why it’s so expensive.

This is an absolutely, bizarrely terrible product. If you fill the top chamber and then release the water to the bottom chamber, it fills about 20%. There is no earthly reason for this teapot to exist. It fools you into thinking you’ll get a nice pot of tea. You don’t.

This little tea pot is adorable! It appears to hold about a cup of liquid in the top and the same in the bottom, give or take a few ounces, so a small cup of tea. I have to drink a daily herbal blend and this little tea pot is perfect for that! I can put the herbs in, let it steep then flip the switch to let the tea drain to the bottom. Where it is clear, I can steep it until the color is right, too.
David Fox –
We love teapots, and the magical button on the side that releases the steeped tea into the bottom chamber was too hard to pass up. Unfortunately, there were issues…The instructions indicated there was a silicone tube attached to the bottom of the inner chamber that should be removed. It was not attached. I think it’s to keep the mechanism from rattling during shipment, maybe to keep it from damaging itself. I did find the tube burried in the packaging.The first time I assembled the pot and gave it a trial run using just hot water, the water flowed right through, even with the switch in the upper/closed position. When I went to pour out the water, the inner chamber fell out and the edge cracked and broke off (see photo). This was because the rubber feet that are supposed to hold it in place weren’t strong enough… or maybe you’re just not supposed to pour unless the top is on.Subsequent tries, even with the cracked rim, did work. So rather than returning for a refund, I put in a request to have a replacement unit sent so I can try again. I’ll up the score if I have better luck with the new unit.

This is a really neat idea for a teapot. The teapot is well-made, and the glass is crystal clear with no defects. Despite being unique, the mechanism is simple, and the whole teapot consists of only three easily cleaned pieces. The filter works well for tea and filters out even the fine particles that often sneak through when making Chai tea. The only negative is that despite being listed as 27.5 ounces, the brewing chamber is far smaller than this. The brewing chamber is only about 8 ounces, which is enough for a typical cup of tea. Since I usually drink iced tea or Chai tea, this is a little smaller than I would like. The brewing chamber works well, and a magnetic release lets the brewed tea flow to the main chamber, making a nice display while doing so. The product description and photos are accurate, and it arrived in seven days without any issues. I would get this again, but I would like to see one with a larger brewing chamber.

This teapot exceeded my expectations in every way. The glass material is clear and durable, allowing me to see the tea leaves unfurl as I steep. The strainer is perfectly sized and easy to clean, making it a breeze to brew loose-leaf tea.I adore the magical design, which features a beautiful witchcraft-inspired pattern. The teapot looks stunning on my tea table, and it’s become a conversation starter whenever I have guests over.The 600ML capacity is perfect for brewing a pot of tea for one or two people. The teapot is also easy to clean and maintain, making it a practical addition to my tea collection.

This is a well made tea pot with a really neat feature. It is made of glass, wood and has a few metal parts. Everything fits together as you would want. Put your tea in the top glass, let it steep, pull the slide down on the side and your brewed tea fills the bottom. You can put about 27 ounces in the pot as webpage says. There are no instructions included in the box, which is made so there is no way your pot will break unless used as a football. Making a cup is easy to learn though and the instructions are on the webpage.If you are looking for an easy way to make a few servings of tea check this out. You can measure exactly what you want and you will get a good pot of tea.
DMR –
This is a very clever and appealing product, but maybe they miscalculated their metric to US measures or something.I filled the top brewing portion with a teaspoon of tea and then so much water that some was squashed out when I put the lid on. After brewing, I had it drop to the bottom dispensing portion, and then poured it into a measuring jug. The measuring just reported almost exactly 6 oz of tea, which aligned with what I observed in a mug – the mug was less than half-full.Don’t get me wrong. I love the cleverness of the magnetic control of the valve in the top, and it is generally a nice product. But 20 oz? It is not quite one third, which means only enough to make one small cup of tea for oneself, definitely not enough to make “tea for two” (or more). So, totally not as described and really only useful as a decoration, not an actual working tea pot.I suspect the larger size pot will also translate down to another three-times-smaller actual capacity.
Rosie –
The pot is small. Really small. It barely makes a mug of tea. Ok… well, if you have a special tea that you want to enjoy a proper cup, not a mindless mug, this is perfect.The mechanism works if you are again, mindful, when you assemble it. It’s not a quick process to make tea with this like plopping a teabag in a cup.I took a star off for the price as it is a bit steep, but it is a quality product and if you have the money to spend it’s well worth it.
MHelmerick –
This tea pot is perfect for those one plus cups of tea. It has a really interesting seep function, the boiling water sits in the strainer until you release it via the handle toggle. I was wondering what kind of magic it had because the switch and the drainage are not connected in any way. My husband figured it out and apparently there is a really strong magnet that releases once you hit the switch allowing the tea to flow into the pot. Pretty cool actually. The handle if I recall said it was wood, but actually it’s plastic with a wood grain finish, not a game changer but it thought I would clarify. The top cover seats nicely on the pot with a rubbery gasket to keep it in place. Overall I think it’s pretty nice and functional I really like it.
Kirito –
You can tell these instructions were translated and are a little confusing. There is a plastic tube that holds the steel ball in place for storage, but doesn’t state if it serves a purpose. Turns out that its just for storage. If the tube is in place it doesn’t work correctly to hold the liquid. You must remove the tube so it will hold the water. Once you lift the lever it will drain your liquid! Very cool! Highly recommend this as a gift to tea lovers!
Vickie –
I’ve always wanted to try one of these and I really enjoyed this one. This is mainly for single serve tea seeping. The magnet works well and releases the steeped tea into the main area and then you pour the tea into your cup.I will probably order a bigger one to steep more tea at once.

First thing to understand, this is not a teapot designed to serve all your friends. It’s obviously designed to be a 1-2 serving pot. I noticed complaints of cost, but considering the quality, ingenuity, and novelty of the pot, it seems reasonable to me.It only has 3 pieces for assembly, very easy. The glass is tempered so hot liquids can be poured in without breaking. My favorite part is the glass chamber for seeping. It fits comfortably and quietly (no clanking glass-note the contact barrier between, pictured).There’s a lever on the side that releases the tea through a fine filter to the pour chamber below, when you’re ready-see the video. Total visibility gives you complete confidence to know when it’s done. It operates through a magnetic field from the lever in the handle. How ingenious is that! I did note a couple of drops that dripped while seeping, but quite insignificant. My tea was perfect.I threw out the tea particles and rinsed. That simple!

This thing works well and is nice and classic looking. You can steep a tea bag or free floating tea leaves as you wish. Just put about 6oz of hot water in and when you’re ready move the knob down and it lifts the stopper using a magnet to pour your tea into the carafe. Pour it into a glass and enjoy!Love it!
Mackenzie W. –
This is perfect for loose leaf tea, and I LOVE how it looks. It’s so awesome to see the little metal ball blocking things as it seeps through, and then you just pour out the tea that you got. It’s awesome. I’ve tried so many other things for loose leaf tea (and haven’t been able to find the one that I loved that ended up falling and cracking,) so it’s wonderful to finally have something that works well again!
mws –
I received the 600 ml pot, which is just enough for two cups of tea. I put my tea into the upper chamber, then pour boiling water over it. I leave the (very!) strong magnet in the open position, so the water fills the entire pot. When the tea is finished brewing, you can either leave the brewing chamber in and pour out a cup, or you can lift out the brew chamber (leaving it open to drain). I place it in the upturned lid, which holds it and any drips. The pot is much easier to clean of loose tea leaves than the mesh strainers I have used. I like this pot very much. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and you can see the lovely color of your tea.
ML –
This is a great steeping teapot (that can also be used with coarse ground coffee in a pinch). It has a clever magnetic latch mechanism to let the water drain that is great if you like to steep for a long time. It’s easy to clean and has a really nice looking design.
Mr & Mrs Pendent –
This thing is either using magnets or the spirits of the dead. Or maybe magnets powered by the spirits of the dead. Either way, it’s really cool. It’s not huge–it will make one or two cups of tea at a time. Because it isn’t double-walled, it won’t keep the tea hot for a long time, but for two people, it would be perfect. And who wouldn’t rather have tea with a friend? For the size and all, the price seems a bit high (even with the magic). Also, the handle is plastic, not wood which seems a bit mean at this price.One important thing to note: when you first get it, there is a rubbery bit under the strainer that is holding it open, so until you remove that, you aren’t going to steep a thing.
Jonathan Busch –
The pot is surprisingly fun to use and works very well. I bought this for my wife and she has used it a lot more then either of us expected. If I want to be nitpicky, I’d say it is a little smaller than I expected. This hasn’t caused an issue and it works exactly as it should. A must have if you are a tea enthusiast.
Vadersdad –
Have you ever struggled with loose tea and that little egg shaped tea holder? This tea pot is the solution to all of those problems. It brews loose tea so easy with easy cleanup. Best of all the tea tastes amazing. you can use tea bags also. Tea comes out so much better that just dunking the bag into a cup.

I like it. It’s cute and the tea looks nice while steeping and pouring into the bottom.As others have mentioned, it does not hold a lot…. a couple of normal cups or a larger mug. But then the tea also won’t go cold waiting for you to drink it.I doubt it will ever replace my in mug infuser for everyday use. But if I want to be a little fancy I’ll use it. Also useful if I want to brew another mug while finishing up my first one.

A simple and pretty elegant design. The lever mechanism is fun to use although mine was a bit sticky at first, it had a catch in it. It seems to be working ok now but is still a bit fiddly, which is off-putting.The packaging is strong and the item is neatly stowed. The instructions are minimal but if you watch the videos you’ll get a better idea of how to use it. It’s pretty intuitive. And easy.I don’t like the fake “wood” plastic handle and top. They should have made it plain black. It would have been far more elegant instead of cheesy looking. That’s the only thing that would stop me from gifting it.Overall, it makes for an impressive visual; and does the job, despite its size.
La3 –
The size is misleading in that even though the capacity of the resevoir is larger (27 ounces I think it states), the capacity of the brewing portion itself (at the top) is quite small and maybe holds one cup of tea, so you have to refill it with hot water and let it steep again before dispensing it into the resevoir with the first serving. It is pretty, and the tea does stay hot longer than it would just sitting in your cup. The design is aesthetically pleasing and impressive, really. It seems well made, with good quality borosilicate glass and well fitting parts. But it really is in need of a larger brewing portion.

I was surprised at the quality and beauty of this teapot. The steeping system works as advertised and adds a little fun to the process. Only gripe………. it is a little (tiny bit) too small.

Pamela A. –
I am truly enchantid with this tea pot. I don’t understand how the slide – mounted on the handle – affects the filter, letting it open so your brew can be enjoyed. Whether I understand it or not, I can enjoy the tea, the teapot and the wonder. If you love tea, this will add to your tea experience. I’m glad I picked this up.
Christopher –
making a cup of tea was interesting… the images made me think it would be twice it’s size and steep enough for full cup… naw you just have to fill your cup in batches. having to fill the steeping chamber 2-3 times to get the desired amount of tea makes this tea pot a one hit wonder, as in once you brew your first delicious cup of tea, it finds it’s way into a cabinet and is forgotten..
J. Lin –
This is a product that looks great and works great, fundamentally. The aesthetics are very fine and the unique function is something to talk about, almost magic, like the video shows. The packaging is neat and orderly and presents the whole package with flair.This is a device for 1-2 glasses of tea with functionality to get the steep time just right without over-extracting. The built-in strainer is okay, but a bit of fines comes through and the little holes can get fine tea particles stuck inside (also note that you can disassemble (unscrew) the drain to clean out the insides better). You will want a finer strainer before drinking if you’re using loose teas/steeps, and if you disassemble to clean, watch out to not lose or damage parts.The top chamber only holds about 5 oz of liquid, so despite the 800mL stated capacity, you only get about 5 oz at a time (10 if you have some pre-brewed and poured more hot in the top). If you have a hot water pot nearby, it’s not as big a concern, but if you’re trying to make some volume of tea, you’ll find yourself having to make hot water again and again with the steeping pause in between.Note the tip of the pitcher is a little longer than usual, and a little more delicate, and the whole is not microwave, dishwasher, not stovetop compatible, so only use with tea and hot water (and things that tend to not get moldy).Note that despite all the function, the price, I think, is a little “steep.”

I gave this to a friend who loves tea. He really likes it! The magnetic release is “enchanting”! It is small, but great for his use. After seeing the product in person, I was disappointed by the plastic “woodgrain-looking” handle. For the price, It should have been real wood. Took off one star for being over-priced.

This MACTANO Enchanti Tea Pot, Magic Witchcraft Enchanted Glass Teapot with Strainer -600ML is perfect for what I need. I enjoy exploring the various flavor dynamics of multiple steeps of oolongs as well as certain traditional green and black teas, but it was always annoying having to have a whole separate strainer that you had to pull out of the tea pot. This combines the two in an innovative way that allows you to observe the beauty of the tea leaves as they steep as well as an easy way to explore what steeping times you like best for your various teas.I was impressed with how well the magnetic tea mechanism works for opening and closing the bottom of the tea strainer. Beyond being functional, it is also fun.One thing to note: while the outside tea pot can technically hold up to 600 mL of liquid, the inside strainer has a max capacity of just shy of 250 mL so that is going to be the max amount of liquid you’re going to get per steeping. This works well with smaller tea cups or gaiwans but will probably be too little for your more American sized mug.
SLMains –
The MACTANO Enchanti Tea Pot is easy to use. The mechanisms are clever, but so simple. They work exactly as advertised and I am happy with the results. The tea steeps thoroughly in a short amount of time because of how the chambers are designed. I like that the glass is thick and each piece fits together without clanking or wiggling. It shows the thought that went into the design. Overall, I am 100% satisfied with this tea pot. I love the way it looks and seeing the herbs seep in real time.5/5
Akio –
The MACTANO Enchanti Tea Pot is as enchanting as its name suggests! The whimsical design and the quality of the glass make it a delightful addition to any tea lover’s collection. The built-in strainer works wonderfully, ensuring a smooth brewing experience.However, at 800ML, it only provides about one generous serving or two small ones, which might feel limiting for those who enjoy sharing tea with company. A slightly larger capacity would make this magical teapot even more versatile.Overall, a charming and functional piece for individual tea moments or cozy witchcraft-inspired vibes!

So this is a kind of clever invention that uses a magnet to keep the filter until you are ready then when you slide the lever down, the liquid goes to the bottom and the tea or coffee grind stay in the top. The bottom carafe holds 20 oz but the steeping area is only 10 oz so you have run it twice for your 20 oz tumblr. This eliminates the need for filters and infusers. It’s growing on me. Let me use it a few more mornings with various teas and coffees.

I bought this Enchanti Tea Pot as a gift for my girlfriend, who’s a big tea drinker. She seems to like it, and it definitely looks cool with its unique design. The glass is clear and allows you to see the tea brewing, which is a nice touch.However, it is quite small (only 600ml), so it’s really only suitable for making one or two cups of tea at a time. Also, I’m not sure it’s worth the price tag (close to $50). It seems a bit expensive for what it is, especially considering the small size.Pros:Unique and eye-catching designMade of durable borosilicate glassIncludes a strainer for loose leaf teaEasy to use and cleanCons:Small capacity (600ml)Pricey for the sizeOverall, this Enchanti Tea Pot is a decent option if you’re looking for something with a unique design. However, the small capacity and high price might be a drawback for some. If you’re a frequent tea drinker or need to make larger quantities, you might want to consider a larger teapot.

I ordered this at the beginning of Dec, thinking it would be a nice Xmas gift. It took a bit to get here, but I have to say, it was well worth the wait.At first I thought it was a gimmick, and though I thought I knew how it would actually work, and wasn’t expecting much, I was happily surprised by both it’s functionality and craftsmanship.It makes about one cup (small) of tea, about the size of a yunomi, or Japanese tea cup without a handle (as seen in the video), so something to be aware of. I let my tea steep for about 5mins, then flipped the switch into the down position, which “un-locks” the filter mechanism to strain the tea into the tea pot. I then refilled with more hot water, only gave it about a min, drained down, and then refilled with the previously steeped tea, to get two decent sized cups, that weren’t too strong or weak (by my standards).I love this thing, and only had it for a day. Bow X3 and 3 thumbs up!!! I’m planning on getting more as gifts for all my tea drinking loved ones, even if they just drink tea occasionally, it’s a great talking piece.

First off, as some have noted, it is true that in person it looks smaller than it appears in the pictures, but it holds the amounts advertised and is the size listed in the description, so it is just the pictures and not a product issue. And in terms of the product, this tea pot is easy to use and makes great tea. I love that I can steep my tea for however long I want and easily release the tea. This is so much easier than the strainer or ball methods I was previously using, and it is as beautiful as it is functional.

What can I say a good cup of black or green tea occasionally is great.The tea maker is solid.It is solid, it feels good, and it looks good, and it does its purpose makes tea and looks good doing it.The construction is solid no loose parts, the tea basket works well, and it looks good while doing it.If I were to change anything it would be the handle needs a little bit more refinement, maybe some texture to get a better hold, but in the end the wooden handle and lid are really a nice aesthetic touch!The assembly was pretty straight forward.The magnetic valve switch is pretty neat I have to admit, that really got attention!It makes a decent amount of tea, and it is a great conversation starter.Love it or leave it it is a great little team maker.Will update accordingly!

This is a neat little tea pot. It’s fun to use for yourself or maybe one other person, but it doesn’t make a whole lot at one time so it’s not for a crowd. It works pretty well and the strainer is very effective. My husband likes a big mug of tea, so he uses this to strain once, then just adds more hot water and uses the tea leaves again to make “the rest” of his mug. It’s not the most practical thing in my kitchen, but if all I used were practical things then life would be pretty boring. It’s a cute tea pot for a relaxing cup of tea.
MagnoliaTexas –
My wife can now easily make a cup or two of her specialty teas with no waste. With a spoonful or two of leaves in the top portion, she can savor her first cup while the second steeps. From my analytical, engineer brain, the magnet and ball thing is way crazy.
marisa ortega –
This teapot is a stunning addition to my kitchen with its beautiful and elegant glass design. Watching the tea brew through the clear glass adds a soothing, visual element to the experience. It’s not just about looks. It absolutely produces an excellent cup of tea, perfectly steeped every time.Highly Recommend!!!
Johanna E. Macleod –
Yes, it’s cute. But it’s tiny and I only get a small amount of finished tea at a time. The ad makes it look like you get lots of tea in one go. This is not true. You only get a little. (See picture)
Autumn Spyrka –
I bought this tea pot as a gift for my best friend and her family as they are avid tea drinkers. THEY LOVED IT, it’s pretty to look at and it was fun to figure out how it works. It’s not super big and has the perfect drip for a slow morning. If I liked tea I’d buy one for myself.
Cynthia R. Andresen –
Great for loose tea without the usual mess. You can see when the tea is ready and complete the process in a fun way.

This is great if you have a lot of loose leaf tea like me and you find those little mesh balls very annoying to empty and clean.I have an electric kettle so it’s super fast to make tea. It’s very sleek – my only complaint is I have granite and this is clearly not tempered glass. So I’m certain eventually I will drop it and it will crack or break. It’s a great size – I can get two large cups in the pot.The button is easy to work and won’t break. I love this for my ritual of tea in the AM!

This is a pretty little tea pot. I’ve really been loving it, but it took a minute. I’ve never used a teapot like this one and it didn’t come with any clear instructions on how to use it so I had to play with it a bit to figure it out. This is a great gift idea for any tea lover, but it took almost 2 weeks for it to ship, so make sure you plan ahead. It came nicely packaged and had no damage. I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it.
B. Womack –
I will say this first, it is a really neat product, steeping chamber and drain is a lot of fun do and watch. Having said that it does have some minor issues. The mechanism does not quite work like I would expect, when taken apart for cleaning I was expecting a round ball that would fill in the drain no matter what direction, instead it is more like a cylinder, not always giving a proper seal. Next, I would not bother with the larger carafe because you can only steep so much at a time and in order to make a larger pot you need at least two or 3 steeps which would take about 10-15 minute if you steep each amount by 5 min. To be honest I would rather just get a tea bag and large mug. But even with this it is a neat item and the way the magnets work to raise and lower the stopper is fun.
B. Ochoa –
I was doubtful that it would work as advertised, but it is amazing. So smart. Does fill a tea cup. I use the same leaves twice, so it makes a mug.
Justin –
There is no reason this should be this small. Cool gimmick though!
Ashley S. –
As others have said it is small. The size listed must be the entire big pot and not what it makes in one sitting. The inner container where it steeps the leaves is about 8 oz so it will only make that much at one time. If you prefer a larger cup of tea you’ll need to repeat the process at least twice. That would be my only critique of the pot. Otherwise it works very well with the magnet style release. Super easy to disassemble for cleaning and reassemble after.
Ebony Hagen –
Doesn’t work like it was described
NiceShine Reviewer –
Tried this for the first time this week and, overall, it works well. I did have a small issue when unscrewing one of the parts for the strainer, but it was easy enough to fix without affecting the final result. The biggest surprise was the size—it’s much smaller than expected. The listed capacity seems to refer to the entire outer pot rather than the actual amount of tea it makes per use. The inner steeping chamber holds about 8 oz, so if you prefer a larger serving, you’ll need to brew multiple times.That said, the magnet-style release is a great feature, making the process smooth and efficient. Disassembling for cleaning is simple, and reassembly is just as easy. It has an appealing design and functions well, but keep in mind that it produces a smaller quantity of tea than the images might suggest.
Derik Hendrickson –
This is a very nice teapot and would be one that I recommend to anyone who enjoys tea on a regular basis.

I love this teapot. It works great. The tea tastes very good, and it’s easy to use. It’s so easy to take apart and clean as well.
William Zellars –
The product is faulty it does not ooen a d close as displayed.
Daniel –
This is a game changer for making loosely tea. It’s very convenient and it works just as it’s supposed to.
DKK –
Not as fond of this as I thought I would be. It is unusual, which I like. But it filters very slowly. By the time it has steeped and taken just as long to drain your beverage is not hot, even if you preheat it. I also tried it for coffee and that did work well at all. No star off forthat, it is a tea pot after all. The actual function of it is perfect, by pressing the magnetic it releases the water so that is fun to see. The glass feel thin, like a bump in the right spot would crack it but so far it is holding up well. 5 stars for novelty
Alex –
I bought the small one the first time and I sent it back because it was very little, but the biggest one and it still is not as big as I thought it would be, but it does work.
Annika –
Got this for my best friend for Christmas. I was a bit nervous at first due to lack of reviews, but it came just fine!
Mario –
It is a pretty neat teapot and I like that it drops the tea into a holding pot without having to pull a steeper bit it only makes 8 oz /200ml of tea even though the outer pot holds 600ml you are not making a decent amount of tea
Shoona –
This is so cute and has a really clever design. It’s definitely a little pricey for what it is, but it is a cool tea novelty and great for making teas that are good for multiple brews. It’s quite small so you ou don’t get a whole lot of tea at one time, so it’s probably not for you if you want a whole lot of tea at once. Still, it’s lovely and easy to use.
Beckie Haglund –
Cheap and doesn’t work
mimi rippee –
This is a really nifty gadget. I use it for loose and bagged tea. I didn’t read the description well enough, because I didn’t realize it only made one – 8 ounce tea. But it works!
Beth A –
It took me a while to warm up to this particular teapot until I realized that it’s perfect for my pu’erh teas. It’s similar in some ways to some I have had, with some interesting differences. What first attracted me to it is that the inner tea strainer is made of glass, so there are no plastic parts touching the tea, and it is unadulterated from any possible chemical leaching or microplastics in the tea as it steeps. The part that took me the longest to warm up to was the magnetic control for opening the inner vessel to drain into the bottom of the pot. It feels a bit odd at first that it just drops like a rock once the movement is begun. However, I then realized that it also goes back into place, without requiring me to move the control, just using gravity when I empty the tea soup entirely from the pot. The things I don’t like are related to the lid’s not being stable when I pour, and it’s feeling as if it needs to be held in place during the pour (like most other teapots), but I have found that if I let go of that expectation, it stays on. All of that said, it has become a favourite everyday pot for my pu’erh teas, and has helped me get back into drinking them more regularly.Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful

Instructions are sparse be prepared for an internet search to discover how not to break it
Axelrod –
This teapot is the most cute and aesthetic thing in my kitchen. I love making tea or even just infused water in this. The pot is very delicate and lightweight, easy to clean, and dishwasher safe! This also makes a great gift for someone who is a tea lover. Overall I love this and recommend it to anyone looking to buy an aesthetic-looking teapot and enhance their tea-making experience.

Convenient! Works very well to filter very finely ground tea. Handles Hot water like a champ, BUT GET THE BIGGER SIZE. I opted for the smaller one but even as a one cup gal I wish I had gotten the larger one. One serving from this does not fill my mug. Does not crack when washed gently, it is dishwasher safe but I choose not to because our dishwasher is flawed. This is a lovely Tea Pot but I’m not sure why it’s so expensive.
Ebby Elsebai –
I absolutely love this product. It works great. My only complaint is that it barely holds 6oz of water in the upper tank. Which is a real bummer because it says it holds 8.4oz which is definitely not true.
Mr. Tanchelewitz –
Don’t get me wrong it’s a cool product to have the only con is that it breaks easily. Like it’s really really fragile..
Heidi Griggs –
Works great need to be bigger

Love this teapot. The release mechanism for the water works so well for having lose tea leaves.. that’s the best I’ve seen. Love it!
Melissa G. –
product broke after a month of use
Joann A. –
Works well, cute, but tiny, and a little on the pricey side for the size. Only makes one cup of tea. Wish I would have ordered the larger one.
Leyden –
I love my tea cup. its cute and I can diffuse my tea with this cup. just be careful because the glass is not too thick. other than that recommended
BBrodnitz –
Capacity is pretty small, have to go thru the steeping process a couple times for one cups worth of tea
Renee –
I just got this and I just tested it with some water and it works really well. I’m looking forward to using it for tea in the morning. I was using fine rest strainers in my cup and there’s such a pain to clean. This seems like it will be much easier.
kathy m. –
Love this tea brewer! Love the magnetic release! Just the right amount of tea. Looks nice on counter with my tea station!
Jessica –
Awful! It’s not even big enough for one cup of tea. The magnet was broke and did not work. I got so frustrated with it I just returned it.
Nicole Creason –
I thought this product didn’t work because I didn’t read the directions and pull the plastic tube out first but it works perfectly and I love it 🥰

Perfect tea, everytime!

Teapot handle is made of plastic and looks cheap
“webby2001” –
This is an absolutely, bizarrely terrible product. If you fill the top chamber and then release the water to the bottom chamber, it fills about 20%. There is no earthly reason for this teapot to exist. It fools you into thinking you’ll get a nice pot of tea. You don’t.
NiceShine Customer –
Nice and cute. Exactly what I wanted!
Aili –
I bought this for my sister-in-law as a gift and she recently messaged me saying how much she loves it. She had a different one and said this one is much nicer! She also said the glass is very sturdy.
James Holmes –
Used it twice and it broke around the lip where the rubber pieces are. I don’t recommend. Not sure how. Just rinsed it out and let it dry. And it was broken

Was a gift for my daughter and she loved it . Works magical
Erienne Sutherell –
Pretty and functional. If possible, get a larger size
James DeMichael –
Men love tea, Right? I purchased this, because I’m one of those who does like a nice sip at the end of a long hard day of working on the docks. I regert (pun intent) that I did not get the larger one for me and my Special Lady Friend (TM).This size is meant for a cuppa, not extras.It is a great design, filters like a champ, and cleans up nicely.Have not taken it to the paint against some hard-core teas, yet the magic in the steep v pour feature has made me a fan.I recommend this a must buy for dock workers who love their tea. Why has NiceShine not made me an Ambassador for reviews yet, I have no idea?
Abigail G. –
This is such a pretty little teapot and it works great. It is clear so you can make blooming teas in it for fun. The size is great for a personal teapot. I have no complaints about this at all
Placeholder –
Water reservoir is smaller than expected and the magnet gets loose easily and doesn’t hold the tea in long enough. Fun idea and asthetically pleasing but for the money paid and expectations I was disappointed.
Derrick Caldwell –
Concept was good but it leaks even when the latch is closed.
