Does it have a stand for the infuser to rest it once the tea essence is extracted from the leaves?

If you mean once you take the infuser out of the teapot, no it does not have a stand for that.

No, it doesn't. I use a little saucer or shallow dessert bowl to hold the infuser and wet leaves.

nope. I just pop mine in the sink since the pot is usually steeping on the the counter. It's a great pot!

Unfortunately, no. You need to keep the infuser in the kettle to put the lid on.

I have once, it held together without a problem. However, I have found that tea tastes better when you don't wash the infuser with soap [in the dishwasher or otherwise]. In addition, I imagine that it would start to show some wear after a few cycles in the dishwasher.

It has a beautiful stainless steel infuser that is an open filter container that sits on the lip of the tea pot. The tea pot cover can fit right into the infuser. Since it just sits on the tea pot it can be lifted out to fill or wash. Bought it for my wife's birthday since she drinks tea daily. Only thing to watch is the spout can over flow through the spout if filled too much. With the large size this shouldn't be a problem. RJF

I believe that it should be, but I do remember the infuser being packed full of 2 tsp of loose leaf tea after it steeped for a while. Though, admittedly, that was a very flowery white tea.

It can be used without the infuser but I don't know if the lid will fit as well. Have not tried that.

The mesh of the infuser is very fine. It prevented debris of the loose tea from getting into the cup. There were still some very very fine particles that escaped that were like the texture/size of cinnamon but I do not think any infuser can prevent that.

The one i received did come with an infuser, however, this exact product tends to be shipped with missing parts so it may not for some people.

No it doesn't. It's a solid blown piece. I've had them for several months, and they are holding up very well, easy to clean, and just perfect for tea.

Yes it can hold the lid without the infuser. It is sturdy as well. Love this tea pt and use it every day.

The lid and infuser are separate, but the lid is designed to fit inside the infuser. Removing the infuser makes the lid loose fitting requiring a 2 hand pour

Mine came in a plastic bag so I couldn't tell. It is a really nice infuser though.

no the tea leaves goes in the mug main body and then you place the basket or filter on so it will keep the leaves in when drinking

No, the strainer is secure. I drink a lot of herb tea so it doesn't get bitter leaving the leaves in for a long time.

Yes it can. The infuser itself is held to a groove in the teapot. If the infuser is not used the lid will stand on the groove itself.

Yes. Just make sure the amount of water you pour in will cover all of the loose leaf tea in the infuser.
