The lid is like a normal teapot lid, that is, it has a little tab to help it
stay on while pouring.

Since the pot may be used with or without the infuser basket, you'll need to
remove the tea to halt infusing as with many typical pots whether the tea is
loose or in an infusing device such as a basket or teabag(s).

The basket itself has a slot to allow the tab of the lid to fit through as
