Is the infuser glass? I.e. is the whole thing microwavable for making tea?

The infuser is glass. It has a lip that overhangs the edge of the pot. It is very fragile and the lip will break if bumped. I usually use hot water and put on warm on the stove but since it's totally glass I see no reason for it not to be able to go in the microwave.

the infuser is glass but I haven't used it as I boil my tea on the stove, I have not tried in the microwave also, sorry I am not too helpful

Yes, the infuser is glass. I do not know whether it is microwavable. It does not say in their instruction brochure either. It just says dishwasher & stove top safe.

Yes, the whole thing is glass. They suggest poring the boiling water over the tea in the infuser....I don't think using the infuser in the microwave would properly steep the tea. You could boil water in a pan or kettle. The floral tea pods are beautiful.

Yes you can! Do you see a tiny handle on top at the right side of the picture? This handle pulls down the infuser into the water, when the time is up just lift up the infuser using the handle and drink your tea. That's why it's so wonderful! I've never found a tea mug on-the-go so smart for tea lovers.

The mug is made of thick Borosilicate Glass. It also goes by the name of Pyrex. It is renown for its ability to withstand thermalshock. It can be heated by a bunsen burner.I am pretty sure it is microwavable :)

Actually, I can't answer that. The day I got it, someone in my office cracked it, and I have never used it. It makes a great pencil holder, (GRRR!). It is borosilicate glass, however, and this is what they use over Bunsen burners in labs. I would not have worried microwaving mine. Good luck!

Yes, the mug is! However, the lid is not. You just have to remove the lid before microwaving.

Yes, this mug is microwavable. In fact, it's one of the main reasons I bought it.

Yes. I have owned it for a few months now. I heat up tea in the microwave every day at work and I wash it in the dishwasher. Best travel mug I've found.

Good morning, Mark. The loose tea infuser is cylinder shaped and made out of glass. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, Wind & Weather Customer Service

yes; that's primarily how we use it too- to heat water for teapot and FP. Have only used infuser a few times, but then winter is just starting... I like the variable temperature options, though it's weird it does not shut off / shift to the warming function on its own when the highest temp setting is chosen. Jsut something to get used to...Still, i like it.

The tea pot is not meant to be used on a stove or in a microwave. It is a steeping pot only.

I don't know for sure but my feeling is I would not because it is so delicate. Normallyif you heat it with hot water from faucet before you put the tea in it will stay hot.

you can use it with an infuser but it is not required. I put tea bags and let them steep for about 5 mins with hot water .

No! One of your previous answers said yes but after having break right after using in the microwave I checked Teavana's website and they say no. These areally great glasses for tea or coffee. They look great and having nice and are well balanced. But don't use them in the microwave.

NO....this is not a tea kettle. Heat your water on the stove and then SLOWLY pour it into the pot just like any teapot. While some glass is made to use on a stove with a heat defuser wire teapots are NOT. It is a very fine an lovely glass and sooo beautiful, but need a bit of TLC. Without the diffuser it is perfect for a pot of flower tea. You put this dry ball is the pot and add hot water and it opens to a lovely flower display at the same time it brew into a very special tea. Totally in love with the little rose on top. This is a pretty teapot.

You should be able to steep tea in it. Just to be careful fill the glass with warm/hot water before filling with boiling water, because the reason glass shatters is because the temperature difference between the glass and the water is too great. Like, if the glass is very cold and the water is boiling hot it will "shock" the glass. So, you heat it up a little to avoid shocking it. Hope that helps :) it's a high quality glass.

Not at all. It's not microwaveable so there is no way for it to heat up or even get remotely warm. Just pour hot water into the infuser while it sits in an empty mug.

Yes. It is made of glass. There is no problem Steeping tea bags in it. I would suggest to put 2 tea bags in one pot.
