I am in love with you his little tea kettle. It is beautiful and very well made. I love herbal teas and it truly does enhance the flavor.

I’m fortunate enough to have a full-blown tea merchant just a few miles from where I live. They carry all manner of teas and the knowledge every dedicated tea consumer requires to enjoy the number 2 beverage worldwide (second only to plain water). For example, did you know that different teas have different effects on people? Some teas have psychotropic effects that many people enjoy and/or depend on. Shaolin and Buddhist monks use such teas to help them enter a meditative state. Others use tea to help them relax, even fall asleep. Yet others use tea as an energizing pick-me-up. The venerable Japanese tea ceremony, which has existed for approximately 500 years, but whose roots date back over two thousand years to ancient China, is still a part of social gathering in Japan. At the center of the tea ceremony is the tetsubin; the classical cast iron teapot. It is truly remarkable that a modern day juggernaut such as Amazon would carry an item like the tetsubin, an item deeply immersed in the ancient past. Even more amazing are the many varieties of tetsubin Amazon carries. This particular Sotya tetsubin is handmade from cast iron, so it is compatible with induction cooktops. It boils water on an induction cooktop faster than I could boil water in my microwave. I not only use it for tea making, but also for coffee and any other reason for using hot water, such as making ramen noodle soup. This tetsubin is very high quality and I suspect it will be around my kitchen for decades to come. I consider it a functional piece of art and it is never hidden away in a cabinet. It graces my cooktop on a permanent basis and often generates admiring comments from folks seeing it for the first time and sometimes far beyond. Like most tetsubins on Amazon, it very much has a rustic, handmade look to it and a texture most folks must touch. I highly recommend this item. The only chink in its armor is the cord that wraps around the handle, which loosens over time. If yours unravels, don’t worry, you can always remove it and the handle will still stay cool to the touch. In fact, most tetsubins on Amazon don’t even have this cord in the first place. Enjoy it for its aesthetics, enjoy it for its history, enjoy it for its functionality.

I wish it were a little larger, but it’s a great product

This teapot is beautiful and well-made. Take care of it as directed and you will not be disappointed. For those of us in the U.S. who still need help with conversions: at 27oz/.8 liter, that means it makes about 3 cups of tea. It is a great size for one person or for two who don't drink multiple cups at a time. It was a great starter size for me to decide if loose tea would work out for me, having switched from coffee. I use it daily, and have had it for about a year. I am not a tea snob (yet), so I simply pour the hot water boiled elsewhere over the tea into this pot to brew. (I don't actually boil the water in the pot itself although you could. I did this when I first got it to season it as directed.) It is also fine on the burner to keep it warm even longer if not drinking all at once, or if you wanted to keep in at a low simmer to add moisture to a dry room in the winter. For the nuts and bolts: product arrived on time as indicated in the order, and was exactly as described/pictured. I would buy from them again, if they sold bigger pots. (So far not finding larger pots directly from them.) I'm now in the market for a large pot for weekends when we want more than a cup and a half each brewed at once. All in all, this smaller pot was a fantastic purchase that I'll continue to use, and I highly recommend it.

This teapot feels solid and well-made, with a beautiful design. It holds heat very well and the infuser works nicely for loose-leaf tea. The handle stays comfortable to hold. Overall, it’s both functional and elegant.

I love the detail in the pot. Handle wrapping could be a bit tighter. After use, let dry thoroughly to avoid rust. Being cast iron it is highly durable & heats quickly.

The inside of the pot chipped and fell apart the moment any water touched it. I didn’t heat the pot at all I legitmately only put water in for a second and it fell apart. I will never buy a product from this manufacturer ever again.

Teiera molto bella, fatta artigianalmente in giappone (mi collegai a Sotya.jp , prima di decidere di acquistarla, é mostrato il laboratorio artigianale con le relative foto di produzione). La ghisa è di qualità, bella pesante, i decori sono delicate foglie di acero, il colore é un bel verde mela. Ha cestello x le infusioni in acciaio e la dimensione é per 3-4 tazze. É anche uno splendido soprammobile. Il prezzo Amazon é fantastico, perché le teiere giapponesi originali in ghisa si trovano a partire da 75 euro, ovunque. Arriva in una semplice scatola di cartone anonima (unica pecca, ma anche le scatole hanno un costo ), ma all interno c é un piccolo depliant che ne certifica il made in japan e la filosofia del laboratorio che la produce. Spedizione Amazon largamente entro i tempi previsti. 5 stelle!

Hyper ravi de cette théhière. Superbes finitions, après un culottage fait dans les règles de l'art, le thé est délicieux.

Buitifull,very happy with this teapot.

The inside was not enamel lined as described

We only use this to brew tea, never put it on the stove. It was alright initially. After some time I've discovered the enamel is coming off. Just because there was so much I could see it in the brew today, I took a look and saw more than half is gone. Not sure what effects I should expect, if any, from drinking this in over the past years. Definitely not using this again, and going to choose porcelain for the next pot - in the hope that is more stable?
