The classic Assam Tea Press utilises the same brewing system as a French press to allow for full control of the tea steeping process. The silicone plunger locks tea leaves into the bottom of the filter once brewing is complete, cutting off access of water to the tea leaves, allowing tea to be recycled for multiple uses. No more over steeping, no more burned fingers - just perfect cuppas.
