The ritual is the product.
Loose leaf. No mess. Proper brew.
The Teapot uses HAY’s SoftBrew™ system — a built-in stainless steel infuser that steeps directly in the pot. No separate strainer. No teabag hunting. Add leaves, pour boiling water, wait the time you know works, pour. 0.8 litre capacity. High-fired porcelain. Dishwasher safe. Available in Black and Cream.
From teabag convenience to actual tea.
A teapot that makes the process feel worth having.
Day 1
The teabag-in-a-mug era ends
Fill the pot, drop in your leaves, pour. The SoftBrew infuser steeps it for you. No extra strainer on the counter. No teabag fishing.
Week 1
You start experimenting with steeping times
3 minutes for a lighter cup. 5 for full flavour. The porcelain retains heat well enough to stay warm for a second pour. You didn’t know you cared about this until now.
Long-term
A morning ritual worth having
Pair with the Borosilicate Cup Set and Coffee Pot for the Morning Ritual bundle. Three objects that make the first 20 minutes of the day feel deliberate.
What makes this Teapot different.
SoftBrew System
Built-in stainless steel infuser steeps directly in the pot. No separate strainer. No loose leaf mess on the counter.
High-Fired Porcelain
Dense, chip-resistant porcelain that retains heat well. Keeps your second cup warm without a cosy.
Serves 2 to 3
0.8 litre capacity — right for a solo ritual or a quiet morning with someone else.
Dishwasher Safe
High-fired porcelain withstands regular dishwasher cycles. Clean-up isn’t a reason not to use it.
Two Colourways
Black and Cream. Both pair with the Borosilicate Cup Set and Coffee Pot in the Morning Ritual bundle.
Designed by HAY
From the Danish design house known for considered, colour-led objects that are built to last and look right.
What sets this Teapot apart
Most teapots need a separate strainer, a drip tray, and three extra things on the counter. This one has the infuser built in.

What they say about the Teapot
Got the black one. It looks brilliant on the counter — serious and minimal. Keeps tea warm for a second pour.
Bought the Morning Ritual set. The teapot, cups and coffee pot look genuinely intentional together.
Replaced a cheap ceramic teapot I'd had for years. The difference in build quality is immediately obvious.
The cream version is beautiful. I look forward to making tea in a way I didn't before.
Dishwasher safe as advertised. The glaze hasn't changed after three months of regular machine washing.
0.8 litres is exactly right for two people with the option of a second cup. Thought about properly.
The SoftBrew system means I don't need a separate strainer cluttering the counter. Brilliant.
Frequently asked questions
Does it need a separate strainer?

How much does it hold?
0.8 litres — enough for 2 to 3 cups depending on your cup size.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes. High-fired porcelain withstands regular dishwasher cycles without losing its glaze.
What colours are available?
Black and Cream. Both are available on the product page via the variant selector.
