Cast Iron Teapot, 40oz Tea Kettle with Infuser for Stove Top, Sakura Design Japanese Tea Pot for Loose Leaf Coated with Enameled Interior, Silicone Handle 1200ml Black

The tea pot arrived just as it looks on the picture: good looking and well made. The interior is coated with a black enamel that protects the water from being in contact with the cast iron. As a tea pot, this product does what it is expected to do. As a kettle ? well, if used properly, it likely works fine but the main issues with kettles: water runs out, kettle overheats. In that case, this is likely not the best choice. This is sold as a tea pot not a kettle. Anyway, I just returned from Japan where traditional cast iron tea pots are easy to find and, for the same (40 oz), they sell for about 17,000 - 18,000 Yen - or about $120 and are heavy to carry around in your suitcase. The interesting thing is that there are not many different types to choose from - except for size. Most stores that sell cast iron tea pots carry the same brand in a single color (black). There are very occasionally copper tea pots and and rarely solid silver tea pots for 2-3x and about 10-20x the price of cast iron. In the end, since I was looking for an item I could use every day, I went for this tea pot at half the cost of the Japan made one and it is perfect.

I absolutely love my teapot! It's the perfect size, keeps the water hot, I can use loose tea or bags, & for cast iron - it heats up very quickly. For some reason I thought it was going to take longer because it's so strong and sturdy. It came with a little trivet and wooden prongs to hold the top while pouring. Absolutely beautiful ❤️ something that I feel will last a long, long time!

This is a great little tea kettle, but it does have one caveat; the lid can easily open when you are pouring and give you a nasty steam burn. I have learned to pour with one finger pressing down on the the little bulb-shaped handle on the lid to keep the lid firmly in place, but even while doing that I still get the occasional burn from steam coming up through the ventilation hole in the lid. Beware the steam. Those burns hurt like hell! 🔥😥 Pro tip: When the water comes to a boil, don’t try to move the kettle. Just turn the burner off and use the attached string to pull the lid back a little to vent steam. Just let it sit there for a few minutes and cool down. If you’re worried about the water getting cold; don’t. This kettle is thick and does an amazing job of keeping the water hot. Use your middle finger to press down on the lid handle as you pour

Love this teapot. Holds 3 good cups and is very beautiful

Pros: The kettle is aesthetically beautiful. It seems effective at heating water and I wasn’t as disappointed in the size as others who’ve reviewed (really what I’d expect for a stovetop kettle). The rope on the handle seems to be natural twine and is great to protect your hands, though I see it as more of a fail-safe than a potholder replacement. The main flaw I see in this is the little rope they have to keep the lid in place appears to be synthetic is not heat tolerant. The kettle itself came with no instructions and the Amazon information provided nothing about removing it before use. Perhaps it’s a rookie mistake, but I assumed if it’s meant to keep the lid in place while pouring when the kettle is hot, one could heat water with it on. Within seconds of the first use the exposed bit than hung down the side melted and detached from the kettle. It was disappointing, but most of the rope was still in tact in the lid. Then today when I had the water on a bit hotter, half of the remaining cord melted down the side of the kettle, causing damage to the kettle in addition to awful fumes. I’ve tried scrubbing but it won’t come off. This is only my third use and now the kettle looks awful, the tie down is useless, not to mention added concerns about whatever fumes will continue to rise as the synthetic material permanently melted to the side heats during each use. The design of the lid cord is completely flawed. If you buy this kettle remove the cord tying down the lid to avoid this issue.

Sweet and very useful little tea pot

Very stylish and works well.

I love this little teapot! It is a great size for me and my husband when we make tea at night. It is also cute enough to be left out on our stove as a bit of additional decor. It is well made and comes with great directions on how to take care of it. The inside is easy to clean but the outside is a bit harder (but doable).

Bought this for my son as he is an avid green tea drinker . He ( and his wife) were thrilled. It is very heavy and can be heated up on an open fire.

Super Teekanne mit viel Fassungsvermögen. Sehr hochwertiges Design und optisch ein Hingucker.

Rien à redire, c'est vraiment un très bel objet, qui chauffe vite sur notre poêle à bois en fonte (pas spécialement prévu pour cet effet mais ça fonctionne à merveille) et il garde la chaleur bien longtemps ! Il a un petit réceptacle en maille métallique fine pour y déposer son thé ou tisane séché ou feuilles. Extrêmement satisfaite !
