The Assam tea press from Bodum brings a cafetiere-style brewing experience to your fine teas. Once your preferred strength is reached, simply press down the plunger and seal the tea leaves into the bottom part of the stainless steel filter with no holes. The brewing process is discontinued, enabling you to discard or re-use your tea leaves. The silicone rim secures the filter firmly into the teapot and stays cool to the touch and the Portuguese cork detailing is ideal for thermal insulation and is easy to grip.
