Glass is well suited for vessels which come into contact with tea, as the smooth non-porous surface can be easily cleaned. Jena glass, which is mainly used in laboratories with their equivalent high demands, is extremely heat-resistant, dishwasher & microwave safe & highly shock-proof. The tea is put into a glass sieve which is taken out of the pot as soon as the tea has infused. It is enchanting to see the colour of the tea spread in the water through the glass.
