Libre glass'n poly style

Doesn't the tea get bitter after awhile with the leaves sitting in the liquid?

very well spoken

thanks for your inquiry - we don.t recommend using it inverted for black tea as it is not safe - steaming hot tea leaves would open with the metal basket handled burired in them to pull it out - pls do not brew this way in the glass `n glass models

Can you use the black tea style of steeping for the glass and glass model too?

i LOVE my Libre that i received as a speaker gift at the WOTGG conference. I've been enjoying Gypsy Rose Tea samples i also received at the conference. YUM. Thanks for your gift. It is already number one on my list of gifts to give to freinds.

I bought one of these and was delighted with it until a month later, when it somehow broke and the liquid in the main compartment somehow leaked into the other compartment and I couldn't get it out. I still want one, but I'm going to save the guarantee next time.

glad we can say that we were able to contact amayane and replace her Libre tea glass - we are working to ensure the seal between the glass and polycarbonate cannot be compromised.

Brilliant design: Simple & elegant.

The green tea you were brewing-- I would still make it a limited brew-time,&, definitely,only use Warm water. (i.e., pour cold water initially over leaves for 30% of volume while filling glass; remaining 70% can be "boiling"). The reason not to use all boiling water on green tea is that it turns the green tea bitter...a primary reason a lot of people dislike green tea! Made w/'steaming"water, it's v. tasty!

Genius-like, Libre accommodates all these modes!

True, white tea is to be use for the unlimited brewing time.

~~My black tea brewed beautifully. I think it's the perfect size &very nicely designed. The screw threads& materials are very well thought-out. Seems quite rugged with the double layer inner-glass / outer-poly. Keep lid screwed during durability testing, very strong. My one quibble is perhaps even more space for the tea leaves in brew basket, w/even tighter weave. It's roomy enough, tho, for good tea leaf expansion. (Heck, I always want more!) Great Christmas Gift for (future) tea lovers.
