MILVBUSISS Sakura Design Cast Iron Teapot Blue

The tea pot arrived just as it looks on the picture: good looking and well made. The interior is coated with a black enamel that protects the water from being in contact with the cast iron. As a tea pot, this product does what it is expected to do. As a kettle ? well, if used properly, it likely works fine but the main issues with kettles: water runs out, kettle overheats. In that case, this is likely not the best choice. This is sold as a tea pot not a kettle. Anyway, I just returned from Japan where traditional cast iron tea pots are easy to find and, for the same (40 oz), they sell for about 17,000 - 18,000 Yen - or about $120 and are heavy to carry around in your suitcase. The interesting thing is that there are not many different types to choose from - except for size. Most stores that sell cast iron tea pots carry the same brand in a single color (black). There are very occasionally copper tea pots and and rarely solid silver tea pots for 2-3x and about 10-20x the price of cast iron. In the end, since I was looking for an item I could use every day, I went for this tea pot at half the cost of the Japan made one and it is perfect.

I absolutely love my teapot! It's the perfect size, keeps the water hot, I can use loose tea or bags, & for cast iron - it heats up very quickly. For some reason I thought it was going to take longer because it's so strong and sturdy. It came with a little trivet and wooden prongs to hold the top while pouring. Absolutely beautiful ❤️ something that I feel will last a long, long time!

Love this teapot. Holds 3 good cups and is very beautiful

This is a great little tea kettle, but it does have one caveat; the lid can easily open when you are pouring and give you a nasty steam burn. I have learned to pour with one finger pressing down on the the little bulb-shaped handle on the lid to keep the lid firmly in place, but even while doing that I still get the occasional burn from steam coming up through the ventilation hole in the lid. Beware the steam. Those burns hurt like hell! 🔥😥 Pro tip: When the water comes to a boil, don’t try to move the kettle. Just turn the burner off and use the attached string to pull the lid back a little to vent steam. Just let it sit there for a few minutes and cool down. If you’re worried about the water getting cold; don’t. This kettle is thick and does an amazing job of keeping the water hot. Use your middle finger to press down on the lid handle as you pour

Pros: The kettle is aesthetically beautiful. It seems effective at heating water and I wasn’t as disappointed in the size as others who’ve reviewed (really what I’d expect for a stovetop kettle). The rope on the handle seems to be natural twine and is great to protect your hands, though I see it as more of a fail-safe than a potholder replacement. The main flaw I see in this is the little rope they have to keep the lid in place appears to be synthetic is not heat tolerant. The kettle itself came with no instructions and the Amazon information provided nothing about removing it before use. Perhaps it’s a rookie mistake, but I assumed if it’s meant to keep the lid in place while pouring when the kettle is hot, one could heat water with it on. Within seconds of the first use the exposed bit than hung down the side melted and detached from the kettle. It was disappointing, but most of the rope was still in tact in the lid. Then today when I had the water on a bit hotter, half of the remaining cord melted down the side of the kettle, causing damage to the kettle in addition to awful fumes. I’ve tried scrubbing but it won’t come off. This is only my third use and now the kettle looks awful, the tie down is useless, not to mention added concerns about whatever fumes will continue to rise as the synthetic material permanently melted to the side heats during each use. The design of the lid cord is completely flawed. If you buy this kettle remove the cord tying down the lid to avoid this issue.

Sweet and very useful little tea pot

Very stylish and works well.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I thought the pot is pretty but unfortunately only a week of regular use, it cracked inside and enamel coating chipped off and rusted (1st photo). I was able to exchange it for the same exact pot, hoping the first one was just a defect. The second one also only lasted one week before it chipped inside (second photo). I am sad I really wanted this pot to last longer but it is not well made and unsafe. Maybe I can use it as a kitchen decoration or as a flower vase, but I’m not using it for drinking tea. I don’t like leaving negative reviews but I cannot recommend this pot based on my experience.

Bought this for my son as he is an avid green tea drinker . He ( and his wife) were thrilled. It is very heavy and can be heated up on an open fire.

Super Teekanne mit viel Fassungsvermögen. Sehr hochwertiges Design und optisch ein Hingucker.

Speedy delivery and quality craftsmanship

La théière, en fonte (à ne surtout pas laver intérieurement - juste rincer à l'eau chaude), est parfaite, belle et d'une contenance suffisante. Je l'utilise quasi quotidiennement pour me préparer mon Pu'Er du soir. Elle est livrée avec un dessous de théière. Elle est belle. Tiens bien votre thé au chaud, le temps de savourer votre thé par petites tasses tranquillement. La poignée est caoutchoutée pour éviter de se brûler. À ne surtout pas mettre au feu. Elle est arrivée bien emballée. La fonte tient bien. Aucune trace de rouille (pensez bien à laver l'extérieur et juste passer à l'eau chaude SANS AUCUN PRODUIT l'intérieur ET SURTOUT BIEN ESSUYER IMMÉDIATEMENT APRÈS RINÇAGE). Je recommande très vivement cette théière qui rempli bien son office, est belle, vous donnera du plaisir à boire votre thé (Pu'Er pour moi, avec eau frémissante à 95°C), à condition d'en prendre grand soin. Elle vous durera des années.
