I got the small gold cherry blossom tea pot for my birthday, along with two cups and coasters. I LOVE this thing! It's lovely to look at and quite functional. It retains heat better than some other teapots, too. But a tip for cast-iron: pre-heat it by pouring boiling water and rinsing it out. It helps retain heat. Anyway, the only problem is that it's not suited for dorm life, but better as a "welcome back". Anyhow, it's great! I wouldn't trade it for another!

I bought this in a store and paid twice as much for it. I find it beautiful, but it doesn't retain the heat, even with preheating. I keep a flame under it and it'll stay warm. I like my tea VERY hot. Cups are too hot to handle!

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.
Pros
- Beautiful
- Exceptional Craftsmanship
- Solid
- Stays hot
Cons
- Spout drips slightly

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.
Pros
- Beautiful
- Comes with strainer
- Develops mineral glaze
- Keeps tea hot and fresh
Cons
- Expensive
- Gets very hot
Best Uses
I love this teapot - it's amazingly soothing to make a ritual of creating and serving tea for my husband and myself after our long and tiring days - and with the tealight warmer and trivet we can keep this right in the bedroom and our tea stays hot, fresh and delicious. And the design is GORGEOUS!
Pros
- High Quality
- Indestructable
- Pretty
Cons
- High price
Best Uses
- Tea for two
I received this today (in gold) as a birthday present and I really like it! I've bought A LOT of tea pots and be it ceramic, glass, plastic, cheap, or expensive they have all in some way chipped, and/or cracked, and/or broke.
I highly recommend this one because its just the right size, cute and pretty but holds enough tea for two (4 cups). Im planning to leave it out because it looks pretty enough for display but since its not an odd shape finding space for it in the cabinets wont be hard either. Its not super heavy like most cast-iron tea pots either... but I guess if you're seeking to lose weight with the help of tea a heavier teapot would help LOL!
