Product Description
The Adagio ingenuiTea is the most innovative, convenient and easy-to-use teapot you can find. To use, simply fill the teapot with water, microwave and add in your tea. Once it has steeped, simply set the ingenuiTea on top of your glass ??? the tea will dispense automatically through a filter that removes the loose leaves and will stop once you lift the pot, so you never have to worry about spilling hot tea as you pour. Once you've enjoyed the fresh taste of your loose-leaf tea from your ingenuiTea, you will never want to bother with pre-bagged tea again. Made of food-grade, microwave safe plastic, the teapot is lightweight and sturdy, making it perfect for use in the office or while traveling, as well as for use in the home. To make cleanup as easy as brewing, the ingenuiTea is also dishwasher safe.

I got a pot of tea at a cafe recently and they served it up in an Ingenuitea. Within about 5 seconds, I realized this was the perfect way to make tea – or coffee, actually, and that this is how tea should be made. If you like loose tea and tea balls are awkward – not to mention hot to take out, etc. – the Ingenuitea is the BEST. No drip, no mess, no nothin’… simply tea. Ingenious, indeed!

I also first saw the ingenuiTEA at a local cafe. They use about 8 or 9 of them to brew up their loose leaf teas. It is the best system that I’ve seen/used. It really is easy. The only issue I’ve noticed is that it becomes stained quite easy, but hey, that’s what tea does! It can easily be washed with a SMALL amount of bleach and a lot of water. We also use ours in the dishwasher and it’s held up perfectly for over a year. This is also a fantastic deal on amazon.

I just purchased one of these after using a friend’s, and I love it. This is the perfect way to make loose leaf tea for one. Unlike with tea balls or spoon-size infusers, the leaves have plenty of room to unfurl as the tea steeps and there’s no clasp to come undone. Unlike with basket infusers, there’s no dripping or mess when it’s time to remove the leaves. You simply get perfectly brewed tea with no mess every time. I can’t recommend this enough.

I LOVE the InenuiTEA dispersing teapot. I can pour boiling water over tea leaves and have gourmet tea in three minutes with no mess.
The only problem with the design is that the filter can drop out with the tea, get into the garbage disposer and be destroyed! (uh, duh! Guess who did that!?)
If they fix that small defect, you’ve got a perfect tea brewer!

My wife bought one of these when we were vacationing in Eureka Springs a year ago, and I thought it was another gizmo to add to the cupboard. Was I wrong. I started using it more and more, mostly for green tea, and thought it would be good to have one for work as well. So I ordered one from Cooking.com and use it all the time. I just put the tea leaves in the container, add hot water, let it sit for 5 minutes, then set it on top of my cup. The valve on the bottom opens up and the tea pours into the cup, with out the leaves (with the green tea I buy from China, the leaves are full leaves, and I can get another 2 cups out of it, so refilling is easy). The nice thing is, I can use it for coffee as well as black tea. The coffee, especially if you grind your own, tastes so much better. To clean, I just invert in a trash can, and rinse out what’s left.

My son is in college, and he discovered this item. It is exactly what you need in a dorm/travel situation, and having two at home makes for ease with the dishwasher. In addition, this allows (requires) the use of truly “loose” tea, a product whose taste will be a revelation to those who have subsisted on tea bags over the years. If you grind your coffee beans, and are a tea drinker, then you will want to shift to loose tea and use this easy-to-use item.

My only complaint is that it only makes 16 ozs. at a time. Since you’re using loose tea, or even bags (it works with both), it would be easy to brew more. Maybe it would take longer to heat, though.
In any case, this teapot works very well. I have no complaints. It cleans easily and does a great job.
Oh, maybe one other complaint… the only way to stop the tea brewing (once it’s done, is to completely empty the teapot. So, if you’re making tea and all of it won’t fit in the cup, you have to put the tea in some other container or it will become bitter.
Something cool… I make the tea and then put it over ice… instant iced tea! Great for hot days.
Highly recommended product.

I got the 32 ounce pot and that thing rocks!
It’s way too simple to use and now I’m saving crazy money by making my own iced tea instead of buying it pre-made. I’ve even become a huge fan of hot tea, now that I don’t have to fiddle with those messy bags and infusers.
The only problem is that I only have one. My husband also thinks it rocks and he wants to use it all the time (he has finally traded in his Coke-drinking habit for green tea!). He’s actually been thanking me for buying it! And now our roommate wants to use it, too. Normally, that wouldn’t be a problem except that we have different tastes when it comes to tea. And also, I like to let the pot sit and cold brew the once or twice used leaves after I drink the first batch.
I’m seriously considering buying another one.
If you’re wondering which one to buy, get the 32 ounce. You can always put less water in it and it still works great when used on small tea cups.

I’ve been drinking a lot more tea than I used to recently, and I’ve found the ingenuiTEA to be, quite simply, indispensable. The device is pretty clever in its design– it’s a 16 ounce cylinder sitting on top of a filter (like a permanent coffee filter), all of which sits on top of a spigot that’s closed under normal circumstances. The cup’s base has two concentric sections– the outer ring does nothing more than support the device, the inner ring is recessed from the outer and opens the spigot. Place the ingenuiTEA on the counter and the outer ring supports the device. Place the ingenuiTEA on top of a standard width cup and the outer ring hangs over the edge and the inner ring gets pushed upward, opening the spigot and allowing liquid to pour through the filter and out of the bottom into your cup.
So what you get is easy tea brewing from loose leaves– throw your leaves in the ingenuiTEA, pour your (heated) water over the top, close the lid and let it hang out for your desired steeping time. When you’re ready, place the ingenuiTEA on top of your cup and you’re done.
The device is virtually spill-proof– it comes with a base to rest on while steeping so if you do spill, you’ve got something to spill on (I’ve used mine a hundred or so times by my best guess and had one spill– because the ingenuiTEA was not placed cleanly on the base).
Cleaning is pretty straightforward– apparently, it’s dishwasher safe, but I’ve never dishwashed it. The filter comes out and everything else is easily accessible. The only area where a tea ball may have it beat is with more difficult to shake out herbals– I make a lot of rooibos and find it really irritating to have to scrape out the leaves when I’m done.
Nonetheless, the device is fantastic and works quite well– I’ve used it to brew all sorts of teas. Recommended.

This teapot is the easiest way to brew loose leaf tea I have ever encountered. I love that you can microwave it and toss it in the dishwasher. I also like the tray it comes with so it doesn’t sit directly on the counter. I highly recommend this to any tea drinker.
