highly recommended

wonderful tea

I love this tea pot!!! Keeps the tiniest little bits of tea from escaping. Brews very well!

Looks nice except for the polycarbonate strainer and plunger

I was poised to buy this product, but unfortunately, it has parts made from polycarbonate.

That would not be so terrible if these parts were not designed to be immersed in hot water which is then drunk. Polycarbonate may not be safe for immersion in hot liquids, due to a constituent chemical called Bisphenol-A. (Actually I personally don't use any plastic heated in contact with food or drink unless I can't avoid it.)

Bisphenol-A is an endocrine disruptor, so if you're thinking of reproducing you may wish to avoid it for the sake of the next generation.

This is my own personal opinion, not set forth as scientific fact; this review represents my own best understanding of this issue. If you want to look it up for yourself, however, you can google Bisphenol-A where you will find much more authoritative information on the subject.
