Hario Cha Cha tea pot is a great way to brew and serve your favorite teas. The top cap secured in a way that you dont have to hold the top as you pour. The fine mesh is located on 2 sides of the strainer, allowing for the tea to be evenly brewed and served without the excess seen with other type of strainers. The tea pot is microwave safe (remove the tea strainer first as it is not microwave safe) A great addition to anyone looking for a simple clean tea pot and great tea!
