Comments about Teavana Prosperity Koi Cast Iron Teapot:

I just got this teapot for my birthday (38 and going strong-praise God!). I love the design, how long it keeps my tea warm, and the capacity (40oz-wow!). My son and I are avid tea drinkers and this allows us to have more than 2 cups (1 each). The tetsubin style allows us also to make any tea we desire. Thank you guys for the best gift ever! Family-I love you!

I received this teapot as a birthday gift and it's my favorite to date. To start off, it's beautiful, the blue and silver providing a pleasant contrast and the patterns themselves holding a special beauty. It always puts a smile on my face when I go to brew tea. One thing that really pleases me about this teapot is the capacity. I've had tea from a tetsubin before, so I knew the quality would be great, but what always disappointed me about the tetsubins I saw was that they only had enough space for 2 cups of tea. Now, I know some people might like to make tea in small quantities, but I can drink more tea than that easily. This teapot has a 5 cup capacity, they say 37oz and I'm going to guess that's with the strainer and tea, because empty I measured at approximately 40oz. all together, tetsubins make the best tea I've ever tasted. I've heard that yixing pots are the best for tea, but what throws me off about them is they're only supposed to be used for one type of tea. That's great if you're only really into one type... but I know that currently I have 34 different teas, and I could probably fit them into 11 or 12 possible major types. So obviously I need a teapot that will work for any tea, and tetsubins make the best tea I've had, no matter what kind of tea it is. The downside is that it doesn't work well if you're short on time: I know I learned how to use a tetsubin by preheating it with water, boiling/heating the actual water (which should be purified water for the best cup) in another pot, and then when the purified water is hot enough, you pour out the preheating water and pour your purified water over top of the tealeaves into the tetsubin. Aside from the time issues, and that you need to dry it out when you're done (or at least I do because I don't want it to mold and ruin my teapot) it's the best option out there for a great cup of tea.
