Very nice set
I bought this for my daughter in-law that is into health and fitness. She had an interest and teas and likes to sip as she works on projects. The pot is beautiful and keeps tea hot for an extended period of time. I am so happy with it, that I ordered one for myself.

Quality Cast Iron Tea Set
Purchased this red cast iron tea set as a gift and am very pleased with it. Impressed with the quality and how nice it looks. I looked at other websites and read the reviews and just wasn't impressed with what I was finding. When I came across the website "Enjoying Tea", their tea sets looked like they were made better so I took a chance and ordered the red tea set. Very happy I did. Impressed with the quality and how nice it looks. Going to be hard giving this away as a gift.

...Tea, Water + a Tear.
I have had many palm, card and tea readings And what most have in common are they agree that i am of an Regal Asian Background.
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.

Mostly impressed
I make a pot of tea every morning and almost every night now. The only thing I was surprised at was how quickly the water cools off. It's as if the cast iron pulls the heat out of the water. If you drink it fast enough, it isn't much of an issue and may even allow you to drink it sooner rather than waiting for it to cool down.

First Tea Set
I did some shopping around and read several forums regarding which tea set would be ideal with little success. I happened across this site in an ad and have to say at first sight this tea set really struck a chord with me.
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.
