Comments about Teavana Dragonfly Cast Iron Teapot:

I bought the black and gold dragonfly teapot with 2 cups to start and the cast iron warmer. I love it! The quality is great, and the cups have a nice heavy feel in your hands. The cups are on the small to med size which I love so your tea does not cool down too fast. One teapot fills about five of the dragonfly cups. Buying this has definitely made me sip more loose tea in a relaxing way. I got my husband into tea now too and it's a great way to unwind and chat at the end of a long day.

Can ruin finish if use on open flame other than a trivet. I found on the flat top stove the warming burner keeps it just right with no effect on the finish.

This was a highly anticipated purchase. To my surprise, my sturdy old ceramic in its flannel cozy keeps tea hotter longer. However, this teapot is good for sharing a cup with a friend and for display. I especially like the included infuser.

I received this beautiful teapot, along with the matching heat trivet and a set of cups, as a gift. It's absolutely wonderful. Quality craftsmanship, heavy cast iron, and looks very nice sitting out! Mine is a reddish brown color [whereas online the color looks green in one pic and almost silver in another]. Definitely keeps tea warm, especially if pre-warmed with some hot water first. As other reviewers have said, this tea pot does NOT go directly on the flame. The tea basket inside is a generous size. I did try making tea in this pot w/out the basket,letting the leaves float free and straining as I poured into our cups. The tea was delicious but since the pot is a "flat" sort of shape cleaning the leaves from the pot was quite the chore. Therefore, for those who like to have the tea swirl around in the water (and not use the basket) this design might not appeal to them. Note about the trivet - I didn't move it on our kitchen counter for a couple days and when I did I noticed it left a rust ring behind. My fault - the trivet, like the pot, is cast iron, so I should have known better. But all the same, keep that in mind when leaving the pot/trivet out. All in all this is a beautiful, high quality tea pot! Also - the same pot comes in different symbolism designs, which is very nice, especially with the available list of meanings behind each symbol. Makes a wonderful gift!!

This is an addition/edit to my other, longer review for this item. Regarding my previous review comment on the color of the tea pots - mine is the beautiful gold/black - this pot is also available in three other very pretty colors; when I read my review I realized my comment on the color may seem to indicate a color discrepancy to what is shown online. Not so! Mine in gold/black looks exactly like [even more beautiful than] the online picture for that color tea pot- so I'm sure the others will as well! This is a beautiful tea pot.

I love my cast iron teapot. It was a gift from my husband at a difficult transition time in our lives; I was told that dragonflies symbolize "new beginnings." I have the trivet, and love to light a tea light, put the pot on after brewing, and sip steaming tea all evening long. I do find that the hobnail cups can get too warm to hold in my hands comfortably.
A NOTE OF CAUTION: DH once put the cast iron teapot on a low flame to warm up the tea; the finish was damaged, and is more black than green now. :0( I was so sad... but the teapot still makes great tea!

Received this as an anniverary present and love it! Especially love that my husband chose a tea set that had symbols of prosperity, good health etc. Love the loose leaf tea and the way the cups feel in the palm of my hand with its cast iron weight. Very nice!

I just recently over the past year started using loose leaf tea and have given up on soda, punches and such. I just love it, this teapot only completes my new love.

This has become my main teapot. I love the weight of it. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Be careful not to use anything abrasive on the surface, or you will remove the color. I made the mistake once, but I call it "aging."

When you just want a good cup of tea, the pot creates a lovely cup, keeps the tea warm for a very long time and it's so easy to keep clean and looks beatiful on the kitchen counter

The cast iron tea pot keeps the tea warm for hours and the tea is so great to drink. The tea pot and cups are so beautiful to display too. It is a conversation piece.

I received this pot along with the cups, coasters, and trivet as a gift. It is a wonderful set. It brews wonderfully and keeps the tea hot for a long time. It is stunning to look at and beautifully crafted. I also received a black tea, Golden Monkey, that is the most delicious tea I have ever tasted.

This a great two person cast iron teapot. It is visually pleasing and tea comes out tasting pure and untainted. Easy to clean and nice to display.
