Japanese Goldfish Cast Iron Teapot

I purchased this for myself in the black/gold along with a warmer and cups. I am the only tea drinker in the house so the size is good and large enough for a few cups. I find that the tea will stay hot on the warmer if the tea light is new. Once the candle gets down to about half way or less, it will not keep the pot hot enough. Other than that, I am happy with my choice. The cups do get very hot.

I couldn't wait to receive my new teapot. It was even better than I expected. Wonderful quality & workmanship, a real show piece. The teas are fabulous, the best I've ever had. Great way to de-stress at the end of a busy day. My husband was also very impressed with both the cast iron teapot and the teas we received. Highly recommend it!

The fish design on the pot I received wasn't as distinct as in the picture. It almost looked like the fish was rubbing off a bit. But it's still attractive so I'm keeping it. The size is really nice. This is my first cast iron tea pot so I'm not sure how common these issues are, but some cons with this pot are that whenever I pour I feel I have to hold the lid down to keep it from falling off and crushing my double walled tea cups- and because the top of the lid gets so hot I can only hold it down while using a silicone mitt. When the tea is done steeping taking out the mesh filter isn't easy because it's hot and there's no easy handle to pull it out. Again I use a silicone mitt to grip the inside of the filter and pull it out before putting the lid back on again. Takes a little getting used to. Makes very good tea once you get the hang of it. I get about 3 cups of 6-7 oz of tea from it, making it a nice size for one or two people.

I received this little teapot from my daughter for my birthday. I was so excited to start using it that even before I read the directions I was very pleased to see it holds 21 oz. of tea. Another big plus is it does not drip during or after you pour the tea. This is a huge plus for me since everything else I've used does drip at one point or another.

just the right size for me. design is subtle and attractive.

It is the perfect size if you are making tea for yourself and another. Also on a side note, i do have a complaint, but not about the teapot, since it IS cast iron and has the right enameling, you can use it on your stove, or on a gas stove for those who know how to use one. It makes me quite irate that i hear from workers at your store that you cannot place them on stovetops to heat water, that is just ignorance at work. It is cast iron, use common sense.

Otherwise, i love this teapot, and the quality of the teas i get from teavana, keep it up! <3

This is the first teapot I've ever owned, and it will be my last. It's smaller than it appears on the picture, which I appreciated. It keeps tea at the perfect drinking temperature for about an hour. It makes enough for about 6 small tea cups and one regular size travel mug which is perfect for me. I don't have a single complaint about this product.

This teapot is absolutely adorable. Its way smaller than it looks in the picture which is really nice since I'm the only tea drinker in the house and I was concerned with the weight of it since cast iron is really heavy. It keeps the tea reasonably hot for around an hour. I am considering investing in the teapot warmer, but today was my first day using it. Great value for the money.
