When I opened the box I felt like my Red Dragon Tea Pot was home. With a warm feeling in my heart, I began to make a pot of tea. I began to cry about the beauty and heritage of the pot and as I poured the water over the leaves, a tear drop fell into the water.
It was a perfect pot of tea and a cleansing feeling.This was my first Cast Iron Pot out of six various others including Yixings. None of the others gaVe me this experience.
Having received it and having used it several times in the past week I will say that I wouldn't hesitate to make the same purchase if I ever had a need for another.
It is very sturdy and certainly feels like it was worth my money on weight alone. It retains heat very well and the enamel coating reassures me that it won't rust out anytime soon.
