About Stump Teapots

Stump teapots are fabulous teapots made by Forlife in California and they are a pleasure to use.  They come with an extra fine 0.3mm removable infuser which means that you can brew very fine, small leaved teas without the 'grouts' getting into your drink. So you can brew a fine tea such as Rooibos tea or large whole leaf teas like Oolong tea.  You could also use teabags with the Forlife stump teapots.  In a later post I will discuss the types of tea that you can brew in these pots.

The Forlife stump teapots are made of lead-free glazed porcelain for maximum quality and function and come in many lovely colors eg. lime, turquoise, mandarine, white. The teapot's stainless steel lid is hinged and permanently attached for convenience.  So there is no chance of dropping and breaking the teapot lid!  How many of us I wonder have broken or chipped a teapot lid!

Because the lid is flat these teapots are stackable which means that they are ideal for catering establishments such as tea rooms, cafés, bars and restaurants as well as in the home. They hold 16 fluid ounces which again is convenient for a catering outlet.  The design of the Forlife stumpy teapot makes it very stable, and as the handle does not get hot, safe and easy to use.

Dimensions:
L 6.75" x W 4.5" x H 3.5"
L 17 cm x  W 11.4 cm x H 8.9 cm

Stumpy teapots are dishwasher-safe, but must not be used in a microwave or oven. Also the teapots must not be placed on a flame or heating element.  It is important to wait for 20 seconds after the water has boiled before pouring it on the tea.
