Does this teapot include a built in strainer I assume it does since it does say japanese style tea set but I wanted to make sure.

There is a colander-like formation at the throat between the pot & the spout. Even so, as does P. Griset, I use anaftermarket strainer. I like to remove the tea leaves from the pot at the proper time. Later, I re-use them.

I don't know. It was a gift for my friend, so I got it delivered directly to her home.

Yes - It's not as fine a strainer as the screen ones that you can insert into a pot, but at the opening to the spigot on the inside there is a strainer.

Yes. I ordered one that arrived 3/2015, and this one came with a metal strainer under the lid, that you can take out and wash separately.

Don't really need instructions on how to use this. I've had it for months now and truly find this pot to be exceptional. Just make sure you hold down the lid with one hand when pouring your tea, as it can fall off. You can also use the tea pot without the strainer in it and just hold the strainer above your cup/mug when you are ready to pour the tea. It strains through it great that way too. Some advice on cleaning it though: little pieces of tea (depending on how small or fine the tea/herb is) can get stuck in the top stainless steel ring around the strainer, you will want to make sure you don't miss that. Just run really hot water through the strainer to give it a good clean. Don't really need instructions on how to use this. I've had it for months now and truly find this pot to be exceptional.

It doesnt come with the strainers,but you can buy any brand separately and it will fit. Im really happy with the sink, looks great and its very functional.

It has a beautiful stainless steel infuser that is an open filter container that sits on the lip of the tea pot. The tea pot cover can fit right into the infuser. Since it just sits on the tea pot it can be lifted out to fill or wash. Bought it for my wife's birthday since she drinks tea daily. Only thing to watch is the spout can over flow through the spout if filled too much. With the large size this shouldn't be a problem. RJF

I think you are asking if lid fits the teapot after strainer is removed? The answer is yes. You can still put the lid back after taking out the strainer. contact us if any questions INFO@TEABEYOND.COM

Yes! The strainer fits inside the large pot and the lid fits on top of both, or just the pot. This is a really nice very durable set. You won't regret getting it! They are a bit bigger than other play pots but fit to scale for play kitchens. We have the kidkraft espresso kitchen and this is perfect for it.

I have a plastic cylinder-shaped tea strainer that I just tried and it fits almost like it was made for it. It is a Finum tea strainer about 3 in. across and tapers from 8 to 7 in diameter. I hope this helps.

Hi,Thanks for your question. No, the strainer does not come with the sink. It would have to be purchased separately.

Yes the strainer comes with it. You can contact the seller. I contacted the seller for something else and their service was excellent.

Yes, it does indeed. We purchased these strainers last October and on the side where we do dishes the ring that goes around the strainer has a lot of scratches and a bright orange brassy ring around the strainer. We don't wash pots on that side either. The other side has some small scratches and is just starting to show signs of wear. I loved them when I got them but I wouldn't recommend them as I think they are too pricey to have the wear they have already.

You make it just lie regular tea. You will need a strainer or filter.. if your tea/coffee maker uses one.

There is no country of origin marked on the pot or the box. The has a removable internal strainer and holds about 16 to 20 ounces of water and each of the two cups holds about 3 to 4 ounces of tea. So it is a small tea set for an intimate party? I have not used it, as it did not fill my needs. But it is a cute and decorative set. Hope this helps.

No, but Artisan makes a strainer for it for a reasonable price. I also purchased the SS sink grate and it protects the sink from scratches and keeps the dishes out of the misc. debris from cleaning them off. Nice heavy duty sink!

No, my set included only the tea pot and the four cups, however it is a really terrific set. Good luck with the trivet.

Yes, our blue teapot does have the helper handle. It's a small handle just forward of the lid behind the spout. :)

No, Guinevere, it doesn't and it doesn't have an removable infuser included either. This is a nuisance if you don't already have an infuser that fits. I do (happy accident.) You might want to use it for white, green and oolong teas and thinking of multiple infusions. But it is usually best to pull the leaves out while you drink your tea so you don't leave the happy realm of perfectly steeped tea into the dank dungeon of stewed tea. In short, you need a infuser. I love this tea pot for its blue color and its size, but it does drip. Karon
