Questions & Answers
The basket holds enough loose tea to brew 34 oz of tea, and the cups that come with the teapot are teany small.
You first boil the water in a stainless kettle or pan, then pour it into the cast iron tea pot with the tea.
Wash as usual, but air dry as soon as possible. It's not a good idea to leave tea in it for more than a few hours. There may be some rust around the lip where the lid sits, but this isn't a cause for concern.
These teapots can only be kept in good condition if they are not used on the stove.

The first was made of porcelain, and it didn't make it through the shipping process. I was disappointed, but it was fragile, so it was always possible that it would break. I ordered the Miya Scarlet Blossom set next because I was running out of time due to Christmas, and it was cast iron, so it wouldn't chip when it arrived. This little gem of a set pleasantly surprised me; It was as if I had struck gold! The set is heavy and a perfect size for tea for two. The quality is excellent, and it is much prettier than the picture. It's a deep red color. Nearly maroon in color. For the first set I ordered, I purchased a strainer ball, but this set comes with a strainer that can be removed. This purchase has exceeded my expectations. I believe I received more value for my money. Although the porcelain sets are attractive, they lack the depth and quality of cast iron.
It's as lovely as the pictures (the cups are the right size for hot sake), and I can use it over an open flame (which I was concerned about). br>br>Unfortunately, the finish on the inside of the spout has chipped, but I'm not sure if it came that way or if it happened after I'd used it a few times. I've been keeping an eye out for any other small pieces that might come loose when I pour out the water, but so far everything has been fine.
When it arrived, it appeared to be dry, and the gold color was not visible. After washing and drying it, I rubbed a little coconut oil all over it, which brought it back to life; it's now lovely, and I use it almost every day. Not so much the little cups because, well, I drink far too much for those tiny cups, but they do make excellent condiment bowls.
The color had faded or was faded-looking. Not in a good way, mind you. Because the cups were so small, it was difficult to drink from them. Instead of tea cups, they should be referred to as sake cups. The set is being returned.
This is an excellent teapot. It keeps my tea warm for an extended period of time and has a lovely pattern and color. If you spill a lot of hot water on the outside, it will bleed. This isn't a teapot for use on a stovetop. In addition, before using the teapot for the first time, it must be thoroughly cleaned. Mine had a fine black dust coating on the inside, which washed away easily, but I wouldn't send it as a gift to someone without first cleaning it.
This teapot set was a Christmas present from my daughter. She likes it because it's a lovely color.
The quality is excellent, and each piece is stunning. The same teapot costs $80 at Teavana, and that's just for the pot! A fantastic purchase!.
The little cups can't really be used because they get so hot, but I'm glad I discovered this with this set rather than buying the cups separately ($12). I have no qualms. It's something I'd buy today if I had the money.
