I Like Coffee, I Like Tea... Review of a nifty little teapot

This is a great little teapot! The 20 ounce size is perfect and seriously, this teapot could NOT be easier to use!
The GROSCHE Valencia is a beautiful and convenient personal infuser teapot, offering just the right size and features to make your tea experience one to remember. The Valencia personal teapot makes 1 or 2 cups at a time- perfect for taking a moment of personal luxury.
What is a Tea Infuser?
The Valencia Teapot has a built in tea infuser for your convenience. Steeping loose leaves is undoubtedly the best way to make tea - not only can you control the depth and intensity of your drink, but you will get a full picture of flavor as opposed to using a tea bag.
This is from the company:
Features
-Naturally BPA and Lead Free
- Food-grade silicone handle and base keeps the pot secure
-Stainless Steel infusion Basket is Food-Safe and Worry Free
-Secondary Filter to keep any runaway Leaves out of your cup
-Silicone cap allows easy remove of the infusion basket
How To Make Loose Leaf Tea
Step 1: Remove the silicone cap and wire-mesh infusion basket. Fill the basket with 1-2 teaspoons of tea leaves.
Step 2: Remove the black outer lid and fill the teapot with hot water.
Step 3: Replace the black lid, infusion basket, and silicone cap. Allow tea to steep for 1-7 minutes depending on preference and variety of tea
Step 4: Remove the silicone cap and infusion basket to keep your tea from steeping further, and replace the cap to prevent spills. Enjoy your delicious cup of tea!
You still can use tea bags in here if you desire. Personally, I think loose leaf tea is easier to use and tastes a lot better. This teapot is dishwasher safe and totally comes apart for easy cleaning. The silicone base is fantastic for keeping the hot bottom from damaging surfaces. The handle fits my hand perfectly and stays cool to the touch for easy pouring without burning my hands. The basket for the tea leaves easily comes out.
I really wish I had this while I was pregnant and immediately postpartum. I was trying to use the annoying little tea infuser balls that you put in a cup and I hated cleaning those suckers. I even tried making several days worth of tea and using a strainer to get out all the loose leaf but that got annoying too. This would have been perfect for making all my tea for the day and it is easy enough to clean that I could have kept up with it. Oh well. I have it now and I use it a lot in the winter. I can also make cool, iced tea in the summer!
Oh I love tea, but I love coffee even more. In a pinch, you can make coffee with this too. It works kind of like a french press, but without the “press” part.
I have also made flavored water by putting fruits and mint in it and letting it sit for awhile.
There's all sorts of drinks you can make with it. What will you make first?
