Lotus Tee-Ei

The lotus shape really does make tea preparation feel more special, and I love that it's dishwasher safe—makes cleanup effortless. The silicone petals are both delicate and sturdy, just what I needed for daily use.

Pleasantly surprised how sturdy this feels for the price—the ceramic has a nice weight to it. I've run it through the dishwasher a few times already and it still looks perfect, no staining or chipping. The design really does add a graceful touch to my afternoon tea routine.

The petals unfold so smoothly when you drop it in hot water, and the fact that it's dishwasher safe sold me—no finicky hand-washing after every cup. I've used it daily for a week and the design still looks as pretty as the day it arrived.
