Very easy to clean and use. Didn't have enough room in my fridge to store it upright so I laid it on its side and it does not leak. Bought it to make my Republic of Tea Ginger Peach Iced Tea but I will definitely be using it for all sorts of things.
I’ve been using this iced tea pitcher for the past couple of weeks and so far am quite pleased with my purchase. The handle tends to wobble a bit when the pitcher is full and lifted out of the refrigerator. I hope it lasts.
Love it.
I bought this to make fresh brewed tea hot and cold. My family love canned flavor seltzer waters and pop and all these have not so good ingredients. I bought the coconut water tea to start us on this journey with this pictcher. I love that u can brew hot tea in this and then out the frozen attachment to this to keep it cool without diluting the flavor of the tea. The only thing I do care for to much is it's made from plastic wish it was glass. The price was a little high but worth it due to all that u get with it very happy
OMG! THIS IS WONDERFUL WISH I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ONE SOONER BUT NEVER HAVE SEEN ONE BEFORE REPUBLIC OF TEAS.
I bought this to make iced tea and im not disappointed. It is so easy to use and you can add fruit and keep it cold when taking it outside. Love it
I like this pitcher. I put the ice tea bag in the night before. The next day, Voila! Tea was made and tasted great. I also like the fact that it is light weight and easy to lift and use.
I bought this a month ago and I am so happy I did. I can’t wait to try more of the different teas. Fit is so easy to use.
I am really enjoying this pitcher. Some have said the instructions were not intuitive. I just spent a few minutes figuring it out sans the instructions. It worked out fine. Super cool to have in the fridge for something nice to drink that’s cold without sugar. I love the feature/assessory that ices it down. Our ice maker is currently broken so this has been great. We love the Blackberry Cold brew the best and are excited to try the Sangria! Wish it wasn’t so expensive but we sip on it and try to savor it like we would hot tea. Thanks, Republic!
Well designed and made pitcher that holds more than what it looks like it will. I love the inserts and will continue to use happily.
I bought one of these several years ago. It arrived with several smudged spots that I have never been able to remove. I use it because it's a good fit for our refrigerator, but would never use it for company because it looks dirty.
I love this pitcher. I’ve had one for several years now and I love that it fits in the door of the fridge so it takes up less room but is always accessible. I bought a second one for summer so that I constantly have a supply of iced tea.
Unfortunately this is made of Plastic :/ Would had love it if was made of Glass :)
I got this pitcher to make iced tea but you could even make fruit infused water with the special insert. I love the ease of use with the chilling ice core and it doesn't water down your drinks! Totally recommend this for iced tea and naturally flavored water lovers. Bonus it doesn't seem to stain either.
I like this pitcher a lot. It's a great way to cold or warm-brew tea. The directions were a bit of a mess. I wish they could just send you a simple diagram showing how the parts are put together and come apart. (It wasn't obvious to me, and I was nervous I'd accidentally break the plastic parts figuring it out.) But it works great and is a convenient way to have fresh-brewed ice tea in your fridge all the time.
I love that tea can be brewed in this pitcher and cooled for serving. I am purchasing a second one to try infusions or have a second tea choice. Have used this constantly and it's great!!
This pitcher does not stain! Has many great accessories and great for flavoring your beverages with fruits.
I am very happy with this pitcher. So far I have used only the ice core function, but it also has a tea infuser and a fruit infuser. Its heat resistance is important as the water poured in is at boiling temperature (if I forget to wait the 30 seconds!). It fits into the refrigerator quite nicely as its profile is not overly wide or bulbous - could even use on the door.
Nice quality, lots of options for flavoring and brewing. The lid is a great improvement over my old tea pitcher as this does not drip, at all. Easy controlled pour.
It fits very well on the top shelf of my refrigerator. The water that I have infused is very flavorful and tastes great. I would recommend this pitcher to everyone.
I use it every day !
I was searching for the perfect iced tea maker and this is it. Republic of has always and will ever be my all time favorite place to buy tea that I like. I truly enjoy using my iced tea maker to make the perfect glass of iced tea. I do wish that they would bring back "Get Growing" tea for healthy hair. I will continue to be a loyal customer. Thank you
The first batch I made had to be thrown away because it tasted very plastic like even though I had washed it several times
Use for tea making or anything else! This is a great pitcher that won't break.
This new product is a wonderful summer transition piece. The recipient will enjoy the thought behind it.
I've been making ice tea from the Republic of Tea for many years now and I've wanted an infusion pitcher like this one for a long time. And I agree with other reviewers, instructions are lacking some detail. It's my belief the problem exists because the pitcher is made by an outside company and not ROT. Regardless, the pitcher is fairly easy to figure out. Bring water to a boil, let the kettle sit on the stove for a while to cool down (I used a candy thermometer to check) and then poured the water into the pitcher with the tea bags in the basket. I filled half way with hot water and let it sit in the pitcher with the lid off for about 20 minutes or so. Then I filled the pitcher with ice, placed the lid back on and put the pitcher in the refrigerator. It's a tall pitcher, so if only fit on my refrigerator door. An hour later, I had a wonderful pitcher of fully brewed iced tea! Now…how much tea you use and how much water you use all depends upon how strong/concentrated you like your tea. I make a concentrate. Try mixing tea bags for a variety of exciting flavors.
I got this to make iced tea and fruit infused water this summer. I am very happy with this purchase. I have used the fruit infuser and it worked fantastic. I would buy this again just for that feature. I have used fruit infusers in the past and they do not infuse into the water well and leave a very faint fruit taste. This one gives a full fruit flavor so much so that my husband is drinking this more than the store bought fruit juice in the fridge. I am sure this pitcher will help me kick the majority of, if not all, sugary drinks to the curb.
Such a good buy with so many different functions. I make iced tea in it during the week and infuse fruit in my water on the weekends, and keep it outside of the fridge with the ice core! Great purchase.
The Double Infusion Iced Tea Pitcher is a great gift ar holidays, birthdays, showers, etc. Everyone can use a pitcher or even an extra pitcher, especially one that infuses liquid with great flavors ftom teas, herbs, spices, etc.
It works but I have to use a different infuser. I like a strong ice tea and the included diffuser just doesn't cut it. I have another diffuser which works with this pitcher. There are better pitchers for brewing loose leaf tea.
Impossible to get top lid off
Only wish it were glass, other than that, great design. We use it every day.
This is a plastic pitcher. I am completely shocked that Republic of Tea would advocate for brewing tea in a plastic pitcher. Wrong on so many levels - plastic affects our health, it affects the flavor of tea, it pollutes our world. When the description said BPA free plastic, I thought that was for the lid. I am so disappointed, both because I was so excited to receive and use the pitcher and also in Republic of Tea for offering a plastic pitcher to brew tea in. Worst part is, I now have to pay to return the pitcher. They do not have free returns, which is also unusual in this day and age. I will not be shopping here again for that reason.
I use this to make a pitcher of tea for a small group. I put the loose leaf tea in the filter compartment that is immersed in the water. I let it sit in the refrigerator over night so it's ready for the day's guests. To keep the tea cold o remove the chiller from the freezer and replace it where the tea was. This is a perfect way to make tea for your guests.
Can not figure how to get top off. Water collects under the rim, difficult to get dry and drips everywhere. Can not get help figuring it out.
We have only used it to make ice tea but look forward to making the infused fruit water.
Liked it all!!! Great delivery n great item
I'm really enjoying this tea pitcher. I like experimenting with tea combinations and infusing fruits has been so fun! My fav so far is the green rooibos with oranges and limes. Fruit & herb infused water is my next project. The lid is good and tight. Fits on my fridge door.
So glad I bought this tea pitcher. I use it to cold brew tea and flavored waters! I use it everyday and highly recommend it!
It's a great product. Very convenient. And it fits in the refrigerator as it says it does. One stop infusing and tea making,
I use this to infuse my water. Works great and I love experimenting. I am sure I will use the other features once it cools down in Florida.
I love this! I am drinking more water. This pitcher holds a lot!
The pitcher design is perfect to fit in the door of the fridge. The chiiled core is perfect for chilling beverages without diluting. I love the infuser for adding subtle flavoring of herbs and fruits to water. The tea infuser is perfect for brewing iced tea. Its a great set
This big pitcher system has changed my life this summer, literally the livin' is easy. It makes 3/4 gallon of whatever you can dream up in no time. The trick is the simple system: 1) Infuse tea or blends and steep in the pitcher. 2) Pack the immerser with your wildest fresh fruit and herbs and switch the tea core for the fruit core. 3) Let that chill in the fridge for a few hours. There's also 4), a refreezable ice core I've not used yet because I let it set long enough so the fruit can do it's magic, but I'll use it when I bring the pitcher out to the pool and chill. What a simple and usable system for making drinks money can't buy. Today I'm making Pineapple Lychee Hybiscus looseleaf and then I'll infuse it with chunks of watermelon, rasberries, mint and basil. I used to do small batches like this in pint glasses, but this just turns the page. I can make nearly a gallon at once. And it mixes well with some wicked healthy cocktails, by the way.
I adore this tea pitcher! It holds plenty, brews well. The coolest thing about it is that it is travel safe. When you screw it shut and hear the click, YOU CAN EVEN HOLD IT UPSIDE DOWN and it will not leak (in my experience). I think it is elegant and most functional! I highly recommend it.
The Double Infusion Iced Tea Pitcher is great just as stated it fits in the door of my refrigerator. I used it to make a blend of teas for iced tea and it works wonderfully.
I would have given this a 5 star review if I was able to get the black top off the pitcher. It is attached and not removable and it is hard to get it clean inside and get all of the water out. I do like the pitcher for iced tea and also just infused water.
Its simply the best pitcher I have owned. It brings out the best in the teas I purchase from you. fits perfectly in the fridge.
This pitcher is absolutely perfect for making iced tea and infused teas. Very well made, lid fits tightly enough that you can turn it upside down to shake it with no leaking. Love it. Makes great tea.
This system works splendidly with no fancy, big appliances. I was a little concerned that the pitcher would not fit in my small refrigerator, but it sits in the door space just fine.
This is such a versatile drink system! I love how the uses are limitless plus it makes flavorful iced tea. I purchased three more to give to creative tea lovers and they all rave about it. The ice core doesn't chill the drink as well as I thought it would. This is still the best infusion product I've seen and used!
great system love the ice block I drink a lot more water , lemonade or cold tea with this pitcher it was a great find
This pitcher is literally used at my house 24/7. As soon as it is empty it gets refilled to brew another batch. It is so easy. I take a 32 oz. insulated mug of iced tea to work with me every day & at home it is my "go to" beverage. While I use other teas in it, Dragon Oolong is my favorite for iced tea.
It's a very good product that makes iced-tea brewing easy. I haven't had any issues with the plastic construction or durability. Republic of Tea isn't kidding when they tell you not to put the lid on until the tea is room temperature. If you don't follow this guideline, the pitcher makes a frighteningly loud and shrill noise.
Love it nice and steady great making everything.
I bought one of these for work (trying to up my liquid/water intake). I am so please with it I immediately purchased another for home! Wonderful service and great teas! Tea Heaven!
I love this pitcher. I use it to make fruit infused tea. I brew decaf green tea and fill the pitcher with half the tea and half filtered water. I cut up fruit that may have 'passed its expiration date' - a good way to use up "old" fruit that's been in the refrigerator too long. I also use frozen fruit and just put it in the infuser. It all steeps and I drink this all day. Helps me keep my water intake up!
I am enjoying this so much that I am buying a second one.
I am enjoying my tea pitcher. The only negative is that water should only be heated to 180 derees. Never use boiling water. Some black teas are brewed at 212 degrees. A huge positive is that the pouring handle unscrews from the base for cleaning.
excellent product.
I love the idea of brewing my own iced tea and the ability to add "stuff" like mint or fruit into the infuser - also like the cold infuser to chill the tea. Problems are: Instructions say that if you brew tea with hot water (much quicker) the water can't be more than 180 degrees - now how do you check - stick your finger in or hunt the candy thermometer (that's what I did). Surely you could construct this of a clear material that could stand boiling water. Also, I don't see any instructions about tea bags. I used your ginger peach iced tea and didn't know whether to cut them open or put the bags in the infuser - and I didn't know how many to use. Lipton makes a quick cold brew iced tea - couldn't you do something like that with your premium teas?
This pitcher/brewer is so well designed! Just stuff your pre-packaged tea bag, or the amount of loose tea desired ... then add fruit, etc. to the fairly large infuser cylinder (or not). Tea can be brewed in the refrig. over night, or hot (they say < 180F). The design of the pitcher fits perfectly in our refrig door. Great iced-tea product!
