tea is better when it has pretty flowers

I'm a teapot. Paint me yellow!

in for 1.

Gonna make my wife really happy

My daughter loves these teas.

I bought one from Woot! in February for 19.99.

rich

Couldn't get the vacuum in time, and now I have to look at THAT? Tip me over and pour me out, that looks disgusting first thing in the morning!

32oz? 32oz's is one glass of ice tea... i would need several of these things for my daily summer tea intake... Woot is grieving me!

Well, at least it's not labeled with that giant Vogonity's charity like the Livestrong stuff.

Although on the other hand, when a person thinks of tea, clearly the first thing that comes to mind is nut cancer...

Minimal sleep last night. Got up every few minutes to check for the Big o' Cosmos. Big meeting in an hour, no sleep, no Big o' Cosmos and no need for a teapot. Argh!

Woot-off is just like a night at the bar with your buddies. Someones going home with a grenade or everyones missing out.

Great gift for those weddings that will be coming up.

Too bad there is not an infuser for making other loose teas.

Does this cure cancer?

Got this for my girlfriend on woot before. The teapot's a little smaller than I was expecting, but the flowering tea worked better than I thought it would! It looks really cool! The flavors decent, but not very robust. Id probably try two flowers in one pot next time. Definitely a neat buy if you have kids or a girlfriend/wife to buy it for. Kind of weird to buy for yourself if you live alone

Ahhhh strange new life forms growing in my tea pot! That usually happens when you haven't washed it out for a month or two.

And now I would have happily bought a refurb........

Yumm!!!

Bought this a couple of months ago, it arrived in the midst of my trying to find out if I was going to die of heart failure -- after week in hospital, they still don't know if I had a heart attack, but they discovered a tumor on my adrenal that "might not" be cancer, and "might" explain my heart problems. Still waiting for test results.

Anyway, it was a while before she got to open the box, and when she did, she found that the Earl Grey teas were missing. Woot said they would issue a partial refund, since they had no replacement teas available.

Looks like there is a filter on the spout so you can use loose tea also.

That's easy - use the flowers but don't use the teapot - use the flower in a big pot o' water that has just been boiled on your stove. Since you can steep these things 2 or 3 times, it would probably make almost a gallon of iced tea for ya.

Enjoy!

Excellent point!

Just put one of these in there:

I would think that there's a "strainer" in the teapot. All my other teapots have strainers (not tea kettles, but teapots).

These are usually meant for loose tea brewing.

there is a filter, loose tea might make it through though...

Someone apparently has a few sticky fingers for steaming hotel teabaggin' single-serves!

i got one of these last time too. The only problem I'm having is that the tea "flowers" don't stay at the bottom of the pot until they are well waterlogged. Also if you have more than 2 cups of water in it, it spills all over when pouring...and 2 cups isn't enough to see the flowers "bloom" all the way.
Also, the handle of the first one I received wasn't "connected" at the top, Woot was very responsive in getting a replacement out!

The tea is pretty tasty though (better 2nd steep), and there is a bit of a "cool" factor, so I don't regret buying it - just a bit dissappointed it didn't look like the picture (and still be able to pour the tea out w/o making a mess)
