Why the Clear Tea Pot Works for Loose Leaf Tea

The Hario Clear Tea Pot is designed for brewing loose leaf tea or tea sachets with ease. Its modern shape and sharp, clean lines make it a visually appealing addition to your tea routine, while the clear filter simplifies both pouring and cleaning. Because the body is made of heatproof glass (borosilicate glass), you can watch your tea steep and appreciate the color of the liquor as it develops.

What You Need Before You Start

To brew loose leaf tea in the Clear Tea Pot, you'll need your favorite tea leaves or sachets, hot water, and a timer if you like to control steeping time. The pot is available in two sizes: the 450 ml version (FNC-45-T) and the 700 ml version (FNC-70-T). Choose the size that fits your typical serving amount—the 450 ml is great for one or two cups, while the 700 ml suits larger gatherings or a longer tea session.

How to Brew Loose Leaf Tea in the Clear Tea Pot

Follow these simple steps to brew loose leaf tea in your Clear Tea Pot.

  1. Add your tea: Place your favorite loose tea leaves or a sachet into the pot. The clear filter is designed to keep leaves contained while allowing the tea to steep freely.
  2. Pour in hot water: Pour hot water over the tea leaves, filling the pot to your desired level. The heatproof glass body can handle hot water, so you can watch the tea steep as the color develops.
  3. Steep to your taste: Let the tea steep for the recommended time for your specific tea type. The clear design lets you monitor the strength visually, so you can stop the steeping when it looks just right.
  4. Pour and serve: Pour the brewed tea into your cup. The clear filter helps keep leaves out of your cup, making pouring and serving straightforward.

Choosing the Right Size

The Clear Tea Pot comes in two sizes to match your brewing needs. The 450 ml version (FNC-45-T) is ideal for individual servings or a small pot for two. The 700 ml version (FNC-70-T) offers more capacity for entertaining or for those who like a larger pot on the table. Consider how many cups you typically brew at once to decide which size fits your routine.
