The past tea worth it.

I inherited this black boil while I ordered the pretty blue model night. I was disappointed but since I am delighted. Unlike another reviewer I have no problems sliding lid, with or without filter (when the tea has brewed, the leaves are removed so the filter ...; o)). The beak will not tasted unless it stops too softly payment; is a hand to take. The infusion remains sufficiently hot for about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the initial temperature (between 70 ° and 95 °). Passed under water after use, then wiped, the tea smell persists despite enamelling. Contrary to what I read here, so it should be wash, rinse and dry, if one does not wish to mix fragrances. This is especially true when passing a green tea black, flavored or not (Mao Feng> Qimen, for example). If you only brew green tea or black natures, without going from one to the other, a simple rinsing / wiping enough, IMHO. In short; pretty and perfectly functional, I recommend without restrictions. One slight drawback (costing him a star), you must actually use the back of a spoon or a knife and wait a few moments, before extracting the filter. In this regard, plan to acquire a spare, in case ... because its dimensions are specific (8.2 mm x 6 mm).
