Tea and the British seem to be inseparable. When Bodum was asked by the English Tea Council to develop a new way of brewing tea, the Bodum tea press was born: Here's how it works: place your preferred tealeaves in the stainless steel filter, pour in hot water, wait 3-4 min. or to your preferred taste, then press down the plunger. The tea leaves are pressed to the bottom and the brewing process is stopped. The clear glass keeps the tea visible at all times, making it easy to decide when to stop the brewing. There's no need to remove the filter, no mess, no burned fingers, only the delicious taste of your preferred tea, ready to pour. This Assam tea press features a stainless-steel infuser and comes with 2 Bodum glass tea mugs.
