First there was the French coffee press – an instant classic – now comes the tea press. A solid steel frame protects the glass from knocks and bumps, and the square handle makes it easy to carry more than one at the time. The EILEEN tea press comes with a spacious filter that lets the tea leaves swirl freely and develop their full aroma. Once the desired strength is reached, you press down the plunger and the tea leaves get locked into the bottom of the filter, stopping the brewing process. It’s the same tea brewing system we developed together with the English Tea Council years ago.
