The 17 oz or 34 oz. Assam is the most sold tea maker in the Bodum tea maker collection. It is practical and is an easy to use tea maker that infuses the most delicious aromas of your preferred tea, whether an herbal mint, as you might enjoy in a first flush Darjeeling. The ABS plastic handle is fixed to the heat resistant glass with high-tech glue to provide a secure and easy grip when pouring your hot aromatic tea. The unique Bodum tea press strainer, made of polycarbonate plastic, can be cleaned in the dishwasher together with the teapot making it the ultimate everyday tea maker. Don't forget, tea for two is, next to water, the most affordable pleasure you can share with a friend!
