About our teapots
Glass teapots like the Lyra Glass Teapot 37oz, with its tall stainless steel infuser, and the smaller Pyxis Glass Teapot 20oz let you watch the leaves unfurl. Porcelain teapots like the Pluto Porcelain Teapot 18.2oz and Daze Porcelain Teapot 44oz keep tea warm and do not absorb flavors.
For bigger batches, the Glass Teapot & Kettle 60oz is stovetop safe on gas and electric, so it heats water and serves hot, iced or cold-brewed tea. Pair your teapot with tea cups and mugs.
Teapot materials compared
The material of your teapot affects how long it keeps tea hot, how easy it is to clean and which teas it suits best.
| Material | Keeps heat | Best for | Care | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glass | Medium | Green, white, blooming and herbal teas | Dishwasher-safe on most models | You can watch the leaves unfurl |
| Porcelain | Medium to good | Every tea type | Easy; doesn't hold flavors | Classic all-rounder |
| Glass teapot-kettle | Medium | Heating water and brewing in one pot | Rinse after use | Goes on the stove |
| Cast iron | Very good | Black tea and pu-erh | Hand wash and dry fully to prevent rust | Heavy; keeps a pot warm longest |
| Clay (Yixing) | Good | One tea type per pot, often oolong or pu-erh | Rinse with water only, no soap | Absorbs flavor over time |
| Stainless steel | Medium | Everyday and travel use | Very easy | Hard to break |
Tealyra carries glass and porcelain teapots with infusers, which suit every tea type and are easy to clean.
Teapots and kettles FAQ
What size teapot should I buy?
Allow about 8 oz per cup. A teapot of 16 to 20 oz serves one or two people, 30 to 40 oz suits three or four, and 60 oz is good for a family or a pitcher of iced tea.
Can I put a glass teapot on the stove?
Only if it is made for it. The Lyra Glass Teapot and the Glass Teapot & Kettle 60 oz are stovetop safe on gas and electric. Check each product page before heating a teapot directly.
Do I need a teapot with an infuser?
An infuser lets you lift the leaves out when the tea is ready, so later cups don't turn bitter. It is the easiest choice for loose leaf tea. Without one, pour all the tea off the leaves through a strainer.
How do I remove tea stains from a teapot?
Fill it with warm water and a tablespoon of baking soda, let it sit for an hour, then rinse. Avoid harsh scrubbers on glass and porcelain.
Can I use a glass teapot on the stovetop?
Yes. Our glass teapots are made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass, so they can sit on a heating element to boil water. Use low to medium heat and never heat the pot empty.
Can I put a ceramic or porcelain teapot on the stove?
No. Ceramic and porcelain teapots are for brewing, not for boiling. Heat the water in a kettle, then pour it into the teapot. Never place them on a stovetop or heating element.
