Why Sustainability is the Heart of INDIGITEA: A Founder's Journey

Sip Smarter: Why Borosilicate Glass Is a Must

INDIGITEA's teaware collection is solely crafted from borosilicate glass, a revolutionary material that’s as chic as it is functional. Not only is it beautiful—it’s scientifically superior when it comes to brewing tea. This is why tea tastes better in high-quality teaware:

What is Borosilicate Glass?

Borosilicate glass is a lead-free, cadmium-free material that resists stains, odors, and harmful chemical leaching. This makes it the ultimate choice for health-conscious tea drinkers.

Why It’s Perfect for Tea:

1. Health Benefits: Unlike ceramics, plastic or metal, borosilicate glass doesn’t release toxins or interact with your tea, ensuring a pure, clean taste in every sip.
2.  Enhanced Flavor Profiles: Its non-porous surface preserves the intricate flavors of each tea leaf, letting you fully appreciate the subtleties of organic green teas, bold black teas, or delicate herbal infusions.
3.  Durable and Elegant: Borosilicate glass withstands extreme temperatures, making it ideal for steeping, serving, and displaying your tea without compromising its structural integrity. It is incredibly durable and scratch-resistant, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Plus, it’s 100% recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious tea lovers.

How to Care for Your Borosilicate Glass Teaware

Maintaining your borosilicate glass teaware is simple and straightforward. Here are some tips to ensure your teaware remains in pristine condition:

  • Always hand wash your teaware with mild soap and warm water.
  • Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could damage the glass.
  • Allow the teaware to cool down naturally before cleaning to prevent thermal shock.

By following these care instructions, you can enjoy the beauty and functionality of your borosilicate glass teaware for years to come.
