Perfect Function to Brew Tea

Water flow is good. Stopping of water flow is good, too. Lid is just fit – Good feeling of placing lid in the position.

Body & lid is rather thin – The thinner the more difficult to make. (Although not the thinner, the better) This is just right thinness. Weight is approx. 130g.
