The Thermal Columbia Tea Press is a simple solution for brewing loose leaf tea and keeping it warm without over steeping. Made of double wall stainless steel, the Columbia Tea Press will keep your tea hot for approximately 2 hours. Because the press completely stops the brewing process, you can enjoy your tea over time with the confidence that the extraction and flavor will remain the same as the moment you pressed and stopped the brewing. The Columbia eliminates "stewed" or bitter over-extracted tea. Just add loose leaf tea to the infuser, fill the pot with hot water, and let the tea steep to your liking. Once you are ready, press the plunger down and stop the brewing process. Now you are ready to enjoy your tea. For even better results, preheat the pot with hot water to maximize the insulation. The 4 Cup Columbia Tea Press yields approximately 4 - 8 ounce cups.
Customer Reviews
The best of the teapots, when it works right. (2007-03-10)
This is a marvelous piece of work, when it works. My first one is perfect. But three later ones, purchesed a year or less later, are all defective: the whole top, including tea strainer and strainer cover, is removeable. I mean the whole top that covers the entire top of the pot, not just the cover for the strainer. When it is correctly manufactured, the underside of the top of the pot has three ball-bearing-like protrusions that keep the top snug on the pot. And, when twisted clockwise, the top locks into place and cannot fall off. On the later pots, this top is loose, does not lock into place, and falls off when the pot is tilted, releasing hot water all over one's hand. There is obviously a manufactruing defect in the leter manufacturing runs of this pot!
Otherwise, my firtst, good one, is fabulous. The best.
