The Bonjour Zen Teapot Target

Making tea of an appropriate strength requires keeping an eye on the color, but that's tough to do on the inside of a dark tea pot. With the Bonjour Zen Glass Teapot, you don't need X-ray specs to see how strong your tea is. In addition to offering a clear view, the teapot has an elegant design. The pot itself is hand-blown glass, with a bamboo handle that adds a note of tradition. The teapot also comes with an elevated bamboo base, as well as a bamboo tea scoop. To steep tea leaves, place them inside the removable infuser, which is made from stainless steel micromesh. The entire appearance of the teapot creates a sense of Zen, offering a nod to traditional tea services while still appealing to a modern aesthetic. Even without tea inside, the Bonjour Zen Glass Teapot can create a certain style just sitting on a counter.

The Bonjour Zen Glass Teapot is sizable, measuring 8.2 inches by 6 inches by 8.5 inches and holds enough tea for you and a guest. The teapot should not be placed in the dishwasher; instead, the pot should be washed by hand and, if necessary, the base should simply be wiped down. The Bonjour Zen Glass Teapot is available for $49.99.
