Designer George Sowden’s Tea Pot comprises a porcelain exterior with innovative SoftBrew™ brewing device that infuses the tea through a centrally located micro-thin stainless steel filter to enhance the flavour.

The purpose of the SoftBrew™ filter is to give your tea room to breathe whilst gently extracting all the flavors ­ thousands of microscopic holes and the generous capacity allow the water to flow and take up the taste without trapping or squashing the delicate leaves.

The method is as simple as any traditional teapot; place the filter in the porcelain pot, put the loose tea leaves into the filter and pour hot water over them at the temperature of your choice ­ that’s it! If you want to avoid the bitter taste of over brewing just take out the filter when your brew is as you like it.
