Stump Teapot with SLS Lid and Infuser - 18-Ounce Lime

Our review finds the Stump Teapot with SLS lid and extra-fine infuser is a compact, practical choice for people who brew loose-leaf tea at home or in small food-service settings. It stands out for its combination of a 0.3-mm stainless-steel infuser and stackable design, which together make it especially useful for tea drinkers who value simple cleaning and efficient storage. The single biggest reason to buy is the teapot's ability to handle everything from fine Rooibos to large whole-leaf Oolong while holding enough for two to three cups.

Key Features

• Extra-fine infuser: The 0.3-mm stainless-steel basket captures small tea particles while still allowing full leaf expansion for balanced steeping.
• 18-ounce capacity: The size is convenient for serving two to three cups without being cumbersome to handle or store.
• Stackable design: Its shape allows multiple pots to nest, saving storage space in tea rooms, cafes, and small kitchens.
• Dishwasher safe: Most parts can go in the dishwasher for straightforward cleanup after brewing.
• Simple stain care: Tea stains can be removed with baking soda dissolved in warm water, keeping maintenance low effort.
• Heat retention: The pot holds heat well long enough to enjoy multiple small pours without rapid cooling.

Who It's For

This teapot is ideal for home tea enthusiasts and small-scale hospitality users who brew loose-leaf tea or tea bags and need a reliable, compact server. The extra-fine infuser makes it a good match for people who enjoy finely broken leaves like Rooibos as well as larger whole-leaf varieties such as Oolong.

Those who need oven- or microwave-safe cookware, or who want to place a vessel directly on a flame or hotplate, should look elsewhere, since this teapot is not intended for stove- or oven-top use. Also, very large households requiring bigger batch brewing may prefer a larger server.
