This teapot is great. It's built sturdy to last years, is dishwasher safe, and has a removable stainless steel lid so that you can microwave the teapot (great for reheating or even heating the water initially). You can brew loose tea in it with the included strainer or you can even use a teabag, just take the strainer out.

The design is beautiful-holding it and pouring feels nice, looking at it from the side yields a perfect circle with the lid on. In all, a great functionally elegant design. Highly recommend.

I have this exact teapot in aqua blue, and I love it to death! Just take out the strainer and lid, put water in and microwave it, and then add the strainer and loose tea. Steep and enjoy! Wonderful, cute, and dishwasher safe.

These 15 ounce Bee House teapots come in a lot of different colors, ours is purple but otherwise identical to the white one here. We bought ours from a local vendor. There is another line of very similar teapots made by a company called HuesNBrews which don't look quite as nice as the Bee House teapots, IMO.

Bee House teapots seem to be very popular and we've been happy with ours, but there are a couple of things to note in case you're in search of the perfect small teapot.

It has a stainless steel lid which clips onto the rim. If the clip gets too loose you can squeeze it so it'll grip tighter again. I've only had to do this two or three times over the year and a half or so I've used this teapot. But then I typically just rinse the teapot out with hot water after use. I only occasionally take it apart and put it in the dishwasher. If you take it apart to wash it frequently, then this part may eventually wear out more quickly from metal fatigue. Something to consider.

Also, if the teapot is filled up over the level of the lid clip it tends to then leak out onto the counter/table top while the tea is brewing. The solution is to not overfill. If you'd rather use a different infuser, the Finum Brewing Medium Basket, Black works perfectly with this teapot. It gives the leaves more room to expand and reaches down to almost the bottom of the teapot, unlike the supplied infuser - which is certainly adequate in any case.

And yes, this teapot passes the "ultimate test" of pouring well without undue dripping, pour it slowly for the first cup from a full pot though. If you're looking for a ceramic teapot that brews two cups, then this one is a good choice.

I have two of these teapots, one this size and one smaller. They are so durable. One of mine fell off my kitchen counter along with some plates. The plates shattered. The teapot didn't even have a chip or a scratch. I would recommend these to anyone. They come in very convenient sizes, great colors, are elegant, and very simple to use.

This teapot is great! I've had mine for over three years, and it still looks like new (I use mine at least once a day).
This Beehouse teapot is very functional: the infuser basket is positioned so that you can brew two cups of tea (its capacity is 15 oz), pour some into your cup, and leave the rest in the pot (the water level drips below the infuser basket, so that tea does not continue infusing). Also, the infuser basket itself is quite large (for this size teapot), which helps the leaves untwirl. This is especially helpful with some oolongs and Jasmine pearl teas.
I had to replace the stainless steel infuser basket (the part can be purchased separately) after almost three years of use, and the teapot now looks like new.
Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase, and would highly recommend this teapot to all tealovers!

Loved and enjoyed this teapot (in light green) for several years until it fell on the tile floor & shattered. Easy to use and a good size for about 2 cups of tea. Tea stayed hot until I was ready for the second cup. Overall, great product that I plan to buy again!

I've been looking for a small teapot for quite awhile and found this one. So far, I'm very pleased. It does not look or feel cheap and is a decent price. It doesn't dribble when pouring a cup of tea and the pot itself is rather heavy. The teapot came in a nice little box, (great for gift giving), and was then packaged excellent in a larger box. I defintely recommend this Bee House teapot.

If you are the type of person who worries about spouts that can never be cleaned, this is for you.

The short spout means you can scrub well.

The wire basket pops right out, and you can scrub away inside.

It's high quality ceramic, and withstands some bumping and rough handling. You will understand why so many coffee houses use these. You will want to use this every day.

And they do not take up too much space.

Simply great design, and proof that you don't always have to pay top dollar to get the best.

it gives the perfect amount of tea and looks SO cute on a plate. easy to clean dishwasher safe and a great price. highly recommend.

Great little teapot for one or two cups of your favorite loose tea.
Keeps it warm and the infuser makes it so easy to use.
