Cherry Blossoms Japanese Cast Iron Teapot

Every tea enthusiast's dream come true. Beautiful design (even better looking in person) and great quality. I will be passing this down to my daughter & hopefully she will do the same. The lid, pot, and strainer do get very hot, this is where having the bamboo tool kit comes in handy ;) I also use a cast iron warmer to hold my teapot, protect my counters and keep my tea warm.

This is a good-sized, beautiful teapot. Every time I brew and serve tea for my friends, this teapot makes me proud.

One thing I don't like about this one is it gets easily rusted and the rust doesn't come off easily.

I felt that employees at local Teavana shops (at least the shops I've been to) were very pushy about those expensive cast iron teapots.

If you have money to spend, it's good to have one. But in my humble opinion, it's not a must have. A decent porcelain teapot will be enough to enjoy any type of tea.

Such a beautiful teapot.

I received the blue cherry blossom tea pot as a gift and I absolutely adore it. One of my favourite gifts ever! It is beautifully crafted and I've had many compliments on it from friends. It keeps the tea hot and fresh, although the outside does get quite hot to touch. It is the perfect size and holds enough for four small cups so you can share it with friends or even just enjoy it yourself. Best teapot I have ever had. I am in love with this teapot.

I received this pot along with a warmer and matching cup/saucer as a gift from my husband. I am so thrilled! It's absolutely beautiful, makes the perfect amount of tea for just myself (the only tea drinker in my family) and is just plain wonderful.

I've had my Cherry Blossom pot for some time now. I actually have the 32oz from before they were discontinued. My father bought it for me for my birthday and it's been the best present ever. There were a couple of initial returns because the interior enamel had a tendency to flake off from where the lid rests, but I didn't give up. Now I think I've had mine for over a year and as a tea snob I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT. Paired with my zojirushi and a tea warmer, this makes tea simple and yet still elegant. I love a pot of white tea in the evening and nothing is as serene on a quiet, cool evening as quietly sipping Silver Needle from my cast iron cup with my pot at my elbow. I've gotten tons of compliments on it, and my best friend Jeremy has even splurged and gotten a cast iron pot (from Teavana, of course!) I look forward to many long years with my tetsubin!

I just got this teapot and am impressed with it. The white peach tea I made in it came out so good. It kept the day hot for about one hour before I drank it all. This is my first purchase of a cast iron teapot. It holds 21 oz of tea as it states. I am glad I got it.

I received it as a gift in the silver/blue color, and I do love it. However if not careful that coloring will come off. It has slowly gone from daily use to decoration in trying not to ruin it.

Absolutely my most favorite purchase! I chose this teapot in charcoal gray because of its beautiful craftsmanship, the meaning of the cherry blossoms, and the durability of cast iron.
Without such a darling teapot to keep my tea warm, fresh and constantly improving I would have lost interest in loose leaf teas after a few months, but this teapot has helped me give up drinking soda, coffee, and my ultimate downfall - lattes. It's developing a mineral glaze and has truly proven to be easy to care for and use. It does get hot while steeping, so use bamboo tongs to remove the lid and straining basket (metal will scratch the paint) and the spout can drip if you're not careful while pouring. The 21oz pot perfectly fills 4 small teacups or 2 large mugs (my favorite).
I'm excited to keep this teapot throughout my journey through life!

I bought this (and a few other set items) for a friend's wedding. I loved it in the store, and she loved it upon receiving it. My only comment would be this: I bought this pot in-store, where it cost me just about twice as much as is quoted online... I'm not sure why the price would be different, and I'm a little miffed. However! Excellent product, exquisitely beautiful, and very well received.
