Can this teapot also be used effectively for black teas? Can you pour boiled water into it from a tea kettle heated on the stove?

this teapot works well for black teas - I pour boiling water from my kettle directly into the teapot. Of course, be sure to warm it first so that the water does not cool too quickly (just rinse with hot water from the tap). And, warm your cup with hot water while the tea is brewing. I really like this teapot!

Yes, it's fine for all types of loose tea. You can pour boiling water directly into the teapot.

Yes to both questions. Any kind of tea will work. It can handle the hot water.

This is meant for brewing tea, so I don't know if can be heated on the stove. I would recommend getting a pot meant for the stove instead of this one just to be safe.

you add hot/boiling water to this teapot. It just acts as a vessel for brewing the tea and should not be used to heat water in.

Typically when brewing tea in a teapot, you use a strainer when pouring the tea, not inside the pot. So this would work for that, but is not a typical use, as I understand. I used this for brewing one cup at a time, in the cup.

I researched that, too. There is no cast iron teapot for use on the stove that I can find, but people on the internet seem to be doing fine using theirs on the stovetop. The manufacturer says it could crack the enamel, so I haven't.

I haven't tried placing it on a stove. It is sitting on a shelf as part of my tea pot collection. I usually boil water and add loose tea or tea bags then place the tea pot on top of a kettle that is placed on the stove. The tea tea is brewed on the steam from the kettle. But I have not tried brewing tea in this tea pot.

No. You could microwave the water then pour it in, I just use a tea kettle on the stove. Doesn't even have to be boiling.

I don't see why not. Just push the plunger down once you put the lid on and it will function as a tea pot. It's a wonderful piece to have!

Hi, I only use the kettle to boil water, I do not use it for tea. Would recommend if you do use it for tea to periodically use vinegar to clean stains.

Hi, you don't use these teapots to heat the water. You use them only to brew the tea. I use an electric kettle to heat the water, then pour it into the teapot with either loose tea in the infuser (shown) or with teabags. The teapot is never too hot to handle.

We've used it as a heating pad with hot water, but I wouldn't add boiling hot water from a tea kettle. If you do use the kettle to warm the water I'd make sure it's not boiling, but rather is 158 degrees (F) or slightly less since that's what the manufacture recommends. Best of luck!!

I have never directly used my teapot on the stove ,I do pour boiling water over the tea and have no problems at all.

I use the tea pot to heat water for my single serve drip coffee. I cannot answer your question.

No, that would damage it. This pot is designed to steep loose tea. According to this tradition, boil water in a kettle or saucepan on the cook top & then drizzle the boiled water thru infuser to fill pot. This is a wonderful teapot if you use loose tea (black, green, etc.) and offers the advantages of the removable infuser, which can be hard to find. The infuser holds the tea & can be extracted from pot when tea has steeped the desired number of minutes, leaving you to enjoy your brew at your leisure, without it becoming bitter from over-steeping.

Absolutely. I have used both sizes of this pot for brewing hot tea. It has come in and out of the dishwasher countless times, looking like new. As with any glass tea pot you have to make sure you do not subject it to abrupt changes in temperature. Give it a swirl of hot tap water before putting tea in.

I wouldn't try it. If you just boil water and slowly poor over loose tea you tea pot will work great.

I didn't try but I think you couldn't. You can just pour in it boiled tea (as I use it and then pour tea into small cups for example when I meeting guests) or just put some tea leaves in it and pour boiling water.
