FORLIFE Stump Teapot with Infuser

No, the spout is specifically designed to pour cleanly without dripping. Multiple users rave about this feature, with many mentioning they've tried numerous teapots before and this is the first one that doesn't leave a mess on their counter or tablecloth. The precision spout is one of the most praised features.

It holds 18 ounces, which translates to about 1-2 generous cups depending on your mug size. This is definitely a personal teapot or small serving pot—not ideal if you're brewing for a group. Several reviewers mention wishing it were larger, but others love it specifically because it's perfect for solo tea time without waste.

The lid has a clever flip-up design that generally stays attached while pouring. However, a few users note that when you're getting to the very last bit of tea, you might need to use your thumb to keep it from opening too far. It's not a dealbreaker—most reviewers say it works well—but it's worth knowing if you're planning to pour every last drop.

About 15 minutes, which is fairly standard for a ceramic teapot without insulation. This isn't a thermal carafe—it's designed more for brewing and immediate enjoyment rather than keeping tea hot for extended periods. If you drink your tea relatively quickly after brewing, you'll be fine. For longer heat retention, you'd want to look at an insulated option.

Yes, the mesh is quite fine and prevents debris from getting into your tea. Reviewers specifically mention it works well even with smaller broken leaves and doesn't let particles through. The basket is also deep, which allows loose tea leaves to expand properly during steeping—something tea enthusiasts really appreciate for getting the full flavor.

The stackable design is a space-saver—the lid, infuser, and pot nest together compactly. This is particularly useful if you have limited cabinet space or want to keep your tea setup tidy. The broad, stable base also means it won't easily tip over on your counter, even when full.
