Our ingenuiTEA teapot comes in two sizes: 16oz that is well suited for hot tea and 32oz that is ideal for iced tea. Size is the only difference between the two versions. To infuse, simply add tea leaves and hot water. When tea is ready, place atop any cup. The valve at the bottom will open, allowing tea to flow down while a filter retains all the leaves.

Material
To reduce the chance of shattering, the teapot is made of Tritan, a plastic specially-formulated to be safe in hot-temperature applications and is 100% BPA-free. Luckily, our older polycarbonate models were also tested to be BPA free.

Cleaning
The lid of the teapot may also be removed for easy placement in the dishwasher. To replace, simply return the lid to its original position and snap in place with a gentle push. Please note that the ingenuiTEA is not microwave safe, and that we do not carry replacement lids for the unit.

Removing the bottom grey plate is not recommended and may damage the unit. This is not covered by warranty.

Discoloration
Tannins in tea may impart color to the teapot over time. To remove discoloration, we recommend submerging the unit in a vinegar and water solution, and leaving to soak overnight.

Leaking
Tea leaves or other debris may get caught in the opening at the bottom, causing the teapot to leak. A strong burst of air is all that's required to dislodge any debris. Simply turn the teapot up-side-down and blow vigorously into the opening at the center. If a stronger burst of air is required, we recommend using a hair drier. 

Replacement Filters
Current model ingenuiTEA teapots do not have replacement filters, and we have long since run out of replacements for the old units. We apologize for any inconvenience and we recommend upgrading to the newer model.
