The double wall construction of the Bora Bora teapot has thermal properties that keep tea hot for a much longer period of time while remaining cool to the touch and eliminating the need for a trivet. Incorporating Bodums patented tea press system, the Bora Bora allows you to brew your tea until it reaches your desired strength; then with the press of a plunger, completely stop the brewing process. The infuser eliminates bitter tea by separating the tea leaves from the water. With an elegant sphere-shaped body beautifully sculpted to characterize traditional British design and a chrome lid to complement every table setting, the Bora Bora combines beauty and function in the most exquisite way. It is handmade of heat resistant borosilicate glass and features a dishwasher safe stainless steel tea infuser. The Bora Bora tea press is the winner of two prestigious design awards: the 2006 iF Design award and the 2005 Formland design award. 16 oz
