Product Details

Design & Materials

The ASSAM tea press is made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass that doesn’t alter or impair the flavour of your beverage. The patented plunger system stops tea from brewing once lowered — sealing leaves so your tea is never bitter. The strainer, lid and plunger are made from durable stainless steel, capable of withstanding many years of use.

A silicone rim secures the filter firmly into the teapot for precision pouring and stays cool to the touch for safe removal. The plastic handle provides a safe, ergonomic grip. Clear glass lets you see exactly when your tea is at its preferred strength before you plunge.

How It Works

• Prepare surface: Place the ASSAM tea press on a flat, heat-proof, non-slip surface.
• Add tea: Add your preferred tea leaves into the filter — Bodum recommends 2–3 scoops of black tea or 3 scoops of herbal tea per litre of water. Teabags also work well.
• Pour water: Pour in hot water, ensuring it stays below the MAX fill line.
• Steep: Place the lid on the pot with the plunger raised. Brew 3–5 minutes for black tea, or 5–10 minutes for herbal and fruit teas.
• Plunge & serve: Once your tea is at its preferred strength, firmly press the plunger down to stop the brewing process. Serve and savour — no need to remove the infuser.

Use & Care

First use: Wash in warm, soapy water before first use and dry thoroughly.

Daily cleaning: All parts are dishwasher safe for effortless cleanup. Rinse promptly after use to prevent tea staining on the glass body.

Handling: Although borosilicate glass is heat-resistant, this product is not shatter-proof. Handle with care, avoid sudden temperature changes and protect from impacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How It Works

How does the ASSAM tea press stop over-steeping?
The patented system stops tea from brewing once the plunger has been lowered. Tea leaves are sealed below the filter so extraction halts immediately — your tea stays at the strength you chose and does not become bitter.

Can I use tea bags as well as loose leaf?
Yes. The ASSAM is perfect for use with loose-leaf tea or teabags — place either directly into the stainless steel filter basket.

How much tea should I use?
Bodum recommends 2–3 scoops of black tea or 3 scoops of herbal tea for each litre of water. Adjust to taste and watch through the clear glass as your brew develops.

How is this different from a French press coffee maker?
The ASSAM uses Bodum’s French press brewing principle adapted for tea — the filter seals leaves completely when plunged, giving you precise steeping control without removing the infuser.

What size cups does 1.0 L serve?
Bodum measures in European cup sizes where 1 cup equals about 4 oz. The 1.0 L capacity is enough for 8 cups — ideal for sharing or keeping a pot on hand throughout the day.

Is the glass flavour-neutral?
Yes. Heat-resistant borosilicate glass does not alter or impair the flavour of your beverage, so you taste only your tea at the strength you choose.
