The Bodum Columbia 4-Cup Thermal Tea Press (Stainless Steel) is another eye-catching design from C. Jorgensen, this teapot is all about reflective shine and stream-lined curves. And priced at just $69.95 (reduced from $93.00) it’s another hot deal at Amazon.com.

Note the ergonomic swell of the handle and the quirky little knob. Inside the double walled thermal pot is a stainless steel infuser. The handle folds down for storage.

The Thermal Columbia Tea Press is a simple solution for brewing loose leaf tea and keeping it warm without over steeping. Made of double wall stainless steel, the Columbia Tea Press will keep your tea hot for approximately 2 hours.

Because the press completely stops the brewing process, you can enjoy your tea over time with the confidence that the extraction and flavor will remain the same as the moment you pressed and stopped the brewing. The Columbia eliminates “stewed” or bitter over-extracted tea.

Just add loose leaf tea to the infuser, fill the pot with hot water, and let the tea steep to your liking. Once you are ready, press the plunger down and stop the brewing process. Now you are ready to enjoy your tea. For even better results, preheat the pot with hot water to maximize the insulation.

The 4 Cup Columbia Tea Press yields approximately 4 – 8 ounce cups.
