Comments about Teavana Alasdair Glass Tea Kettle:

I rarily write reviews but I'm so happy with this Alasdair tea kettle that I felt I had to this time. I love the way I can always have the water at exactly the temperature I want for my green tea. After I use it, I leave the top a bit open so the condensation evaporates. Being careful when washing it, which isn't necessary every time it's used, is a small price to pay for such a great product. If ever someone dropped it and I needed another one, I would order this same one. Hope you always have it in stock.

It was a wonderful tea pot and I loved it. But, I only got to use it for a couple weeks before it broke. The teapot is made of a very thin glass that breaks very easily. I was washing the pot and when I set it in the dish rack to dry it cracked. I loved this pot it was so pretty.

This beautiful, lightweight tea kettle is one of the best I have ever owned. Unlike my previous metal ones, it can't rust (and the handle stays cool!), and unlike my previous electric water heaters, it will never transfer plasticky or chemical odors or flavors.

I am careful when I wash it, since it is glass, but I usually only need to rinse it with water before I use it again. It helps to use only filtered water, to minimize hard water build up. Plus after boiling water, I leave the top off the empty kettle, so the water can evaporate off of the hot glass, minimizing water stains.

With my electric range, I have to keep the heat at medium to medium-high, otherwise the bottom of the glass can burn and discolor. This means it takes a little longer for water to boil, and since I don't have a whistle, I have to remember to check on it. I would consider this to be the only drawback, but it isn't a big one.

Overall, I absolutely love this kettle.

I got this kettle for my wife for Xmas, so it's been a few weeks and we love it. Since it is clear glass after use it has some rings and stains on the bottom from the hard water that is difficult to clean off. The glass itself seems a tad thin. I don't want to intentionally test if it is sturdy and shatterproof, so I'll hope for the best. It is a really impressive looking tea kettle, but I do worry that I may break it when I wash it in the sink. I could be wrong and it may be a very sturdy kettle, only more time will tell.

I got this tea kettle for Christmas this year and I love it! I had been looking all over for a glass tea kettle (they are very hard to find!) and was so pleased to find it at my favorite tea shop! The best thing about it is that the handle stays perfectly cool while the water is boiling, eliminating the need to use a pot holder to pick it up. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone!

I loved this tea kettle when I received it for Christmas a few days ago. However, when my husband went to wash it, he "clinked" the lid against the kettle accidentally, and the lid shattered into over 10 pieces! He barely knocked the glass! We would have never expected even a crack, and yet the lid shattered and is completely useless.

I would look elsewhere to find a more durable glass kettle.

Love this tea pot, unique and beautiful. The handle doesn't get hot so you don't have to worry about getting burned.
