Is this pitcher safe to pour hot water from a tea kettle into?

Yes. I pour hot water from the kettle into the pitcher every time I make iced tea, which is often. When you pour the hot water, leave the lid of the pitcher off until the water has come down to almost room temperature. I've found that if I put the lid on when the water is still hot it creates air pressure when it cools and it makes the lid harder to untighten.

Not sure but I would imagine anything made of glass placed on a hot stove may not be the best idea. I always boil the water in a kettle first then transfer it to the teapot for serving/keeping warm.

The ice is supposed to be in the pitcher. Since it comes out quite hot, I believe it would be best to have the ice in the pitcher already -- it mostly melts once you brew the tea -- depending on how much you put in. You will have to add more ice to your glass to have it really cold.

Probably, but all that's really necessary to clean it is to swish some warm water from the tap around in it before brewing your tea; this will also help prevent thermal shock from breaking it when you pour water from the kettle in, which isn't much of an issue because it is made of borosilicate glass.

The pitcher material is Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN). We do not recommend that the pitcher be filled with boiling liquids as this may damage it.

I wouldn't. I steep extra strong tea in a pot, let it cool and pour over pitcher that is filled with ice. Hope this helps. The plastic does not seem to be the type for boiling liquids directly.

No. This is not recommended. I did it once and the teapot survived, but I won't try again. It does keep hot water warm for a long time.

Hi Eileen, You can brew your tea in this pot and pour it into your iced tea pitcher for iced tea. Hope that helps! Teavana 32 oz Perfectea Maker

Yes! I purchased it to make homemade tea, and I put the boiling water directly into it. No problem so far. It also has a nice slim design, for a 64oz pitcher.

I've had no problem. I use these everyday for tea. I am always sure to put in a spoon before I pour the hot water in.

I haven't tried to actually make the chai tea in the pot... I prefer to keep it strictly for my milk needs and I make my matcha the traditional way. There aren't any weird parts that would prevent you from making anything in it since the stirring / frothing piece works by external magnet so there aren't any mechanisms in the pitcher itself.

No, you cannot put boiling water for tea directly into this pitcher. I gave this for a gift, and at first she wasn't going to tell me that she did just that, and it cracked. She said that she should have tempered it first by filling it warm water and letting the glass get warm 1st (let me also add... put it on something besides a cold countertop also.) Once the glass has gotten warm over a few minutes, then I "think" it would be fine for the hot tea. I still wouldn't put boiling tea right off of the stove. I would let it cool just a bit. You might had rather buy a pitcher that is made of tempered glass, if you don't want to go through the ritual and waiting. It's a great size, though, for a crowd. I was really sorry to hear that hers broke. She was so happy to receive it as a gift.

Yes, it's fine for all types of loose tea. You can pour boiling water directly into the teapot.

While I have not used boiling water, I've poured extremely hot water straight from my percolator into the pitcher. It should hold up just fine.

Not so much. Heat is quickly translated to the pitcher and handle making it a dangerous proposition for coffee pouring and pitcher handling. Same goes for the cups. Best for cold and iced beverages!

Absolutely not. It will break. This is will be best used after your water has boiled in your standard tea staineless steel pot then poured into the glass leaf tea pot.

My daughter and I pour boiling water into it to make tea. HOWEVER, we do use an old 'trick' my mom taught me, and that is to put a long metal spoon or metal tongs into the pitcher before we pour the hot water. We don't know if this is something actually necessary, but haven't gotten up the nerve to NOT use this 'trick' every time. Hope that helps!
