Comments about Teavana Camellia Cylindre Glass Tea Maker:

It is easy to use and makes great tea. But the bottom is very thin and one of mine cracked after 6 months of daily use. I did not drop it, and other friends have had the same issue. Go for a different model that has thicker glass.

I love this tea maker, blooming teas look beautiful in it and it's perfect for iced tea. Love that it has a built in filter to strain the tea. Makes rebrewing simple.

I used it every day for 6 months works great. I went to make some tea today I notice it was crack I didn't bump it or nothing. It cost too much to crack this easily.

I love the glass tea maker! I'd been looking for a glass tea maker, because my Mr. Coffee plastic things never lasted. I don't know how long this will last (I could break it), but I know my tea tastes better! Sometimes, I wish it were bigger, but really the size is perfect because I have to make tea more often, so it's fresher and better tasting. The mesh filter absolutely works - not even Rooibos leaves can get thru it. Great product! Don't ever stop making it.

The glass in the base is extremely thin, especially compared to the rest of the pot. I dropped in some medium sized ice cubes for a cold-brew, and when I poured in the water it went straight through the bottom and all over my counter-top.

It's a shame they break easy, because they work well otherwise. I would recommend the Dancing Leaf pot instead, thicker glass and same function.

Beautiful to look at but far too fragile to be of use beyond a temporary length of time. I bought this as a gift and the receiver LOVED this until she ended up with shards of glass all over the kitchen when the cylinder lightly (and I mean lightly) tapped the top of the mug she was about to use. Less than a month of use for [$] is difficult to swallow. The one other and it would have been a very minor problem is there is no way to hold the lid while pouring without using a towel or hot pad. A knob or handle of some sort would have been a helpful addition.

I only used this a few times and knocked it lightly on a rubber dishwasher rack. The whole bottom section sheared off.

We just returned from China where everyone carries a plastic version made by fuguang with them all the time. We purchased two and realized we wanted a few more. We have searched everywhere and could not find them in the US. We could not believe it when we found this product. Everyone asks us where we got our tea cylinders, now we can tell them where they can purchase one of their own without going to China. Once you use it you will not know how you got along without it.

Do you brew 34oz of tea or 17oz if adding ice? Through experimentation, I made 17oz of tea in it but put a measurement for 34 oz of loose leaf tea. Then, add ice to chill instantly to the 34oz measure of liquid. Brewing time is doubled, of course as is the measure of tea. The filter works perfectly.

I am trying to drink more tea and this cylinder is perfect! I love hot tea but I don't always like it while I'm eating my meals. This is perfect because it allows you to have your tea made to your liking and it's waiting for you in the refrigerator. It's easy to use and I only wish there were a bigger size so I wouldn't have to make a new batch every 2 days. I may just have to purchase another one.
