Lovely tea set

I've had this for years now. Love this company, love this tea set. Easy to clean but just make sure you dry it well so it doesn't rust!

Wonderful

I was a bit skeptical about buying a cast iron teapot at first, because I've heard a lot of them are cheaply made and rust fairly quickly. That is not the case with this teapot at all, I absolutely love it. It's a beautiful teapot that is very easy to maintain and keep clean, I have had no problems with it, it looks awesome and brews tea wonderfully.

Exactly as expected

Great tea set. The product images and description are accurate. Tea pot looks small, but actually makes several cups of tea. Enamel inside pot is uniform and complete. Wire basket for tea is large and easy to use/clean. Very happy with this tea set.

Perfect

I purchased this and I was in love. I have been looking for some time at some sets. I also went t a chain store in the mall and guess what? The same exact pot. I am so happy with this purchase. I would so recommend it to any tea lover. Its perfect and I use it daily. The pot can seep 2 8 ounce cups if you decide to use a regular tea mug.

Black Nail Head Cast Iron Tea Pot

This tea set is incredible. We are using it on a daily basis. A nightly "ceremony" has appeared in our life. I prepare the tea, then joined by my wife, we sit outside sipping and enjoying the cool autumn evenings. The value of the tea set is close to astonishing when compared to store displays that I have compared at $200.00 for the same basic set up. I highly recommend this to any tea aficianado.

Great purchase!

I have been looking for a cat iron tea kettle set for a good price and I have certainly found one. Be sure that you know how to take care of cast iron as well.

Black nail head

I love this tea pot, the tea stays warm forever and the cups are awesome. I use it literally every day. It works well for two but could work for many others. I am very happy with this purchase and recommend it to anyone. Its great for any occasion

excellent

This is exactly what I was wanting. It's just the right size for 2 people, though i have used it for 4 just fine. the tea brews up just perfect & stays hot for quite a while. I bought the warmer but haven't had to use it yet. The quality of this product is outstanding. Being cast iron, I don't believe I will ever need to replace it. I am very happy with this purchase.

Black Nail Head Iron Cast Tea set

Great. Keeps my tea hot. I also found this exact tea pot at Teavana for $130.00.

Ordered for Christmas

Teapot and cups arrived in pristine condition; and the quality was far superior than I expected. I almost bought a teapot for double the price at teavana. I'm glad I took my wife's advice and searched the internet first (I bought this gift for myself, from her :) ) The tea I ordered with the teapot was excellent, very aromatic and tasty. Very glad I found this site!

For an Authentic Tea Experience

When I was shopping for a tea-related Christmas gift for my girlfriend, I didn't really know where to start. But having actually been to a tea room/restaurant in Manhattan, I know that we both really enjoyed the cast iron teapot we got to use there. The Cast Iron tea set gives you such an authentic, zen-like tea experience when using it, that you'll actually slow down and enjoy quality time together--rather than gulping it down from a thermos as you run out the door. We've been using it nearly every day, and intend to purchase even more cast iron cups to go along with it when friends and relatives visit.

Very happy with purchase

Very happy with the purchase... if you pre-heat the pot with hot water from the kettle it gets and stays warm for a good long while which is why I wanted a cast iron pot in the first place.

This pot does come with one of the little mesh inserts but I never use those so the tea has the space to bloom during brewing. The ceramic type lining makes the leaves very easy to rinse out after use.

Nothing to complain about at all and expect this to last me a very long time. Very happy with the purchase.
