Amazon.com Review

Old Dutch cast-iron teapots combine traditional Japanese styling and a modern aesthetic that result in very evocative shapes. Holding 24 ounces, the Harmony teapot forms a rustic cube with a weathered-look finish available in matte black and a choice of colors. The perfectly flat lid features a wedge-shaped knob, and the Asian-style metal handle arches well above the pot. Not too heavy and not too light, the perfect heft and harmonious juxtaposition of cube and curve lend quiet contemplation to the act of making tea.

Iron teapots traditionally used in Japan are known as tetsubin, which were used to boil water as well as brew tea. However, the Harmony teapot is meant just for brewing, not for boiling on a stovetop. Old Dutch uses a specially purified cast iron for its teapots, and coats the insides with black enamel to help prevent rusting. Unlike ceramic teapots, the heavy cast iron retains heat wonderfully and won't chip. After use, the pot is best cared for when rinsed and dried by hand before storing. A stainless-steel infusing basket that hangs from the rim is included to facilitate brewing with loose tea leaves. --Ann Bieri

This review is from: Old Dutch 24-Ounce Cast-Iron Harmony Teapot, Red (Kitchen)

I just made a pot of loose tea in my beautiful teapot and it turned out great. It looks great on the table after dinner, it heavy and well-made! The only caution is that once the hot water is poured into the teapot, the entire pot does get warm (but not the handle) so I put it on a trivet and it worked out well I just had to be careful when I poured. I highly recommend this teapot and ordered another one as a gift for a friend who's also a tea lover.
