Is this safe to make tea using boiling water?

I've used the tumbler for over a year daily with boiling water and for iced drinks without a problem.Additionally, I always put it in the dishwasher daily. No problem yet.

It would be safe to put tea bag in tumbler & let it steep, just like hot coffee is perfectly fine. You certainly can't boil water in the tumbler.

After using ours for a few months, I am beginning to notice a crack on the outside of the cup. It may be from the dishwashing. I do continue to use it for hot coffee. They are supposed to be guaranteed for life of normal wear.

The only thing I can tell you is that I heat water in the microwave for my coffee. The tumbler's that have logos and artwork on them can't do that and the lids also should not be microwaved. I was mine in the dishwasher, even the lid without problems.

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.

boiling water will most likely cause producing very toxic substances which (like the tea bags of this kind) are contributors to cancer and other health problems. So, I do not recommend using those bags in high temperatures. those bags will do great for lavender and little gifts but stay away from making a tea in them or washing in boiling water.

I haven't put really hot liquid in it. I usually want to drink it relatively soon. BTW, you shouldn't use very hot water to brew tea as the heat can kill off the nutrients in tea.

NO, this is boil your water sep. in nice stainless steel pot, then steep your tea in this. It's a great pot I love it and it gets used every night.

No, this is meant to brew and serve tea, but not to heat water. I use a separate electric kettle for boiling water.

we pour boiling water into the pot over the tea leaves. I do not think it would be a good idea to heat over a flame because of the double-wall insulating properties.

I don't think you can. I used it to brew kombucha. If you would put it into boiling water it may crack. I'm sorry that I'm not sure

Sure you can use this to boil water for any reason. It is simply an aluminum coffee pot. Just put water only in it, set in on your stove burner or grill or hang it over your camp file from the bail. Just remember its going to be very hot so use a pot holder or oven type glove when you pick it up. You can brew your tea in it too, just put the tea bags in and then heat. Stay safe and don't get burned. :-)

Yes! I purchased it to make homemade tea, and I put the boiling water directly into it. No problem so far. It also has a nice slim design, for a 64oz pitcher.

Noooooo...I wouldn't do it. Optimum tea brewing for Japanese green tea (my favorite) occurs at 180 degrees. This pot is perfect for that but as a container not preparer. I would not put heat in direct contact with the glass. Even Bodum recommends using a "trivet" when warming tea. This pot is not designed for direct boiling of water. Sorry.

I'm not sure, I've never really tried that. I just boil my water in a tea pot. I will tell you that I have purchased this for three people, as well as myself. That's how much I like it.

Not sure but I would imagine anything made of glass placed on a hot stove may not be the best idea. I always boil the water in a kettle first then transfer it to the teapot for serving/keeping warm.

This is a teapot for holding tea, not for boiling water. You'll still need a kettle for that. The handle doesn't get hot when using it for serving.

I wasn't sure so ran a test for you last night. Made some tea and put it in the fridge. Didn't use stove top boiled water, but microwave boiled water. No cracking. You might want to make a bottle holder of some sort since the bottle was very hot. You should still check with manufacturer about cracking danger though. I have used a similar thickness bottle, that let's you unscrew the bottom to fill with ice, then add your tea and hot water to make instantaneous ice tea. Hope this helps.

I haven't used mine yet. However, I did buy two other tea pots from here and they were perfectly fine after pouring the boiling water over the teabags. I'm sure it would be fine. To make sure, I would start out with allowing the water to cool for a little while (at least one minute) before pouring, and or just pour a little at a time to see what happens.

I never use boiling water on fragile tea flowers. If you boil it, let it sit for a couple minutes or place one ice cube in it before slowly pouring it on.
