FORLIFE Stump Teapot with SLS Lid and Infuser, 18-Ounce, Gray

I brought this for my husband who loves to use tea leaves for his cup of tea, he loves it. It holds 500ml of water whch fills my husbands big mug up to the top, no dribbling spout which made his day, not like others .Mesh strianer has very fine holes so is able to hold all sorts of tea leaves, especially fine ones, looks good and nice to have a choice of colours to choose from.Cost was a little high but it was worth it for the quality of pot,especially as it is used a few times a day, lid stays closed when pouring. Very happy with purchase.

I own two of these now, one for home and the other forms an essential part of my camping kit! You cannot camp without being able to make a decent morning cuppa! I love the colours and the design but I wouldn't give it five stars for it's looks alone. The teapot pours beautifully (not something you can say for a lot of teapots) and it washes up well, either in the dishwasher or by hand. If you own more than one they will stack too. The stainless steel insert is removeable making it easy to empty and also to remove when the tea is brewed to your liking so it doesn't keep getting stronger as it sits. If I had a criticism it would be that it is really a pot for one. You can get two small mugs of tea from it but only just. It would be nice if they made a larger version. I love the range of colours (my camping pot matches my trailer tent!! How sad is that!) too. I think they make lovely gifts for a tea drinker. I bought one for my mother-in-law along with some quality loose tea and also the little bamboo tray that goes with the teapot and she was delighted with it.

The quest for the perfect cuppa, in the perfect mug, from the perfect teapot, is one that has occupied much of my life (I've always had prioritisation issues). It's maybe not surprising it has taken decades to fulfill. Consider the variables. Loose leaf tea - many types, and all of them generally a pest to deploy. Mugs - rarely of the right porcelain, or the right size. Teapots - usually terrible pourers, with annoying lids, hard to clean, and either too small or two big. You'll be indifferent to the news I have sorted the mug, but that at least pleases me. The tea? Well I can share the results of extensive research for the perfect Assam, which has yielded surprising results. But the teapot? This, I can confidently say, is it. If there was a teapot Olympics (and frankly there should be) this would win hands down. Dripless pouring, a pleasing retro shape which is also easy to clean, a lid design of such simplicity and perfection I could make tea from the tears of joy it brings. And the infuser? Simple, unfussy, and effective: pour the water in slowly, close the lid, and leave a few minutes. No need even to stir. Two and half teaspoons of tea in; two cups of well brewed, mid brown happiness out. There is finally a motivation for rising each morning. The quest is over. Now, kettles....

These are great teapots, mine was wrong colour when it arrived l, but kept it anyway.

What can one say about a teapot? Well, quite a bit, it would seem. The design and materials are key and in this case they both come together to produce the perfect solution to brewing/mashing/steeping loose leaf tea (bags, too, if you prefer). Although the whole body/handle assembly is one piece of ceramic, the handle never gets too hot even though the 'vessel' does, as it should. It is perfect for one cup (standard tea cup, not mug) but can also stretch to two if care is taken to remove basket after the first, to prevent over brewing. Although dishwasher safe, I prefer to allow mine to season, so wash with hot water only. The infusion basket is good, but be careful not to overfill otherwise once the leaves expand on hydration they may swamp the basket and reduce natural convection water flow for optimal brewing. Pouring is perfect. Keep the pot steady to provide a consistent pour. It takes me back to my youth as I was brought up on 'real' tea made in a pot, so knew what I was missing when having to resort to bags. The FORLIFE Stump Teapot has allowed me to enjoy tea again, the way I aways liked it. Given the build quality there is a very good chance it will live up to its name - FORLIFE!

Nicely made little teapot, perfect for adding loose tea for flavour.

Brilliant teapot, more than lived up to expectations - the metal basket insert is much, much finer mesh than any other loose tea device I'd tried - it's really perfect for any type of loose tea. Makes about a mug and a half - or three teacups - ideal one-person teapot to have in work or at home. I've used this every day since I bought it and can't recommend it enough. What other reviewers said about it being a good pourer (no drips) is correct as well. Really easy to rinse out & keep clean. I just wish the purple one was available over here because I'd buy that too so I could have one at home as well as in the office. If you want to drink more loose leaf teas of any kind - herbal, fruit, infusions, genmaicha, etc - this teapot is worth the money.

I have been using a classic Forlife Stump teapot for a decade. I found it perfect: the ease of taking out the strainer and throwing away the leaves made it by far the best teapot I'd ever had. It pours well; is the perfect size for one person, or two if you're having smaller cups or milk in your tea; and is easy to clean and use. I recently bought a new Stump teapot. My mum got one too, on my recommendation. Unfortunately, the designers have messed it up a bit. They've put a little plastic handle on the metal filter inside. This a) gets in the way when you close the lid; b) tends to catch tea-leaves, spraying them everywhere, when you empty the tea-leaves out; and c) is an all-round nuisance. Dear Forlife designers - please remove the handle on the strainer at once! I'll be happy to try out the new design if you do so. Overall, still a great little teapot, but not as good as it was.

Cute tea pot and like the color. But size smaller than I thought. Only enough for 1-2 cups of tea.

We have been using this type of teapot for a number of years now, and have found it to be the perfect pot: - fits a good amount of tea (0.5l) - keeps the tea fairly hot for a decent amount of time - no dripping when the tea is poured - sturdy and resilient (travels well in luggage if you need your teapot with you on your journeys) - easy to handle, dishwasher-safe, but also fairly easy to clean by hand - aesthetically pleasing design, large variety of colours - reasonably priced - the infuser included with the pot has a fine mesh, and is also easy to clean - comes in two sizes

Pas grand chose à dire... Je ne mets que très peu de commentaires malgré mes nombreux achats sur Amazon mais lorsque c'est parfait, il faut le dire. Style, robustesse, infusion optimale... Superbe.

Es una buena tetera, moderna, práctica, resistente y mantiene bien caliente la infusión. En casa tengo dos.

Beautiful and good quality
