This is really nice. High quality glass, and the lid fits perfectly against the basket so leaves and such don't slip by. No signs of rust or pits on the basket - seems to be quality stainless steel. The wide opening makes it super easy to wash, and the spout works perfectly - no splashes or drips. And it just looks nice on the counter.I like to make tea with slices of ginger root, cinnamon stick, cloves, lemon, and honey and the basket works great for that.

Elle a rendu service quelques mois et puis le fond s'est fissuré... étonnant...

Nice design, well made, easy to clean. The lid in particular does feel very delicate, but in a way that's part of it's charm.Holds enough for two small cups or one generous mug full.

I was nervous to get this because I couldn't imagine that little pot would be OK on the stove top but I decided to try it out and it was perfect! Well-made and adorable! It's the prefect size for two cups of my favorite loose chai which is all I needed. The infuser is a good size and holds the tea leaves well and the whole process is so simple! Delighted that I gave it a try and that it is exactly what I needed!

I really compared SO many teapots and took a LONG time to choose one. This was my choice after much deliberation AND review-reading. I couldn't be more happy with this teapot! The "squatty", more Japanese styling of the pot allows the infuser to reach nearly all the way to the bottom of the pot, making the most of your brewing time and your tea. Made of borosilicate glass, you're going to think it's too delicate to use, but let me tell you, it's plenty tough! It's also a much healthier option in teapot materials. The infuser is large, a thin but sturdy stainless steel with the absolute tiniest pin-sized holes, allowing full flow of water and plenty of space for the tea leaves to fully expand, giving you the most flavor possible. I read negatives from a few reviews regarding the shape of the handle, that it wasn't ergonomically friendly for pouring. That is hogwash. I ordered the largest size of these Kyoto pots, 36 oz, and the handle is plenty large enough and appropriately shaped to pick up and pour from this teapot. I also read other review that were negative about the spout, saying that it dripped. More hogwash. This doesn't drip any more than any other spout in the world; I haven't seen it drip on my counter yet.This can be used on the stovetop to boil your water, as well, but I have an electric quick-boil kettle (another Amazon purchase -- look for my review!), so I have no need for this feature. But if I could give this TEN stars, I would. Why? In addition to the above reasons, let me tell you... this teapot doesn't just brew your tea. This teapot makes your morning tea, your afternoon tea, and your evening tea all feel like a special treat. Like something special that you are doing for yourself today. SOMETHING in your day should feel like that! Let it be this teapot!I should note: in the photo, you will see this teapot on top of a tea warmer which is NOT INCLUDED with this purchase (it is also available on Amazon; I purchased my warmer from Teabloom). The tin of tea in the photo is also NOT INCLUDED in this purchase. Only the teapot is.

Borosilicate glass of this quality is totally safe to use on any metal or glass stove top as long as you don't slam it down like you might if you were using a metal pot.I've had Borosilicate glass cooking pots last for many years. They generally fail if someone drops a cast iron pan on them or accidentally smacks them on the side > like when sliding a cast iron pan sideways on the stove top into the side of the Borosilicate cooking pot.Common sense dictates the use of one or the other - NOT BOTH IN CLOSE PROXIMITY :)I read a review where someone was disappointed in how small this pot is. 'Small' is a relative term. It all depends on what you need the pot for.I use a small pot like this to hold near boiling water (from the stove top or Microwave) which I then add to tea that has steeped (brewed) for awhile in another pot.I pour the brewed and occasionally pretty strong tea into a tea cup thru a strainer and then dilute it with the hot water from another pot (like this one). That's a pretty ancient and standard practice. So 'small' in this case is 'perfect'.I just tried this little pot out on the gas range and it boiled water like a charm.MY problem with it >>> and this is NOT the exactly a 'fault' of the POT's design altho I do have an issue with it's shape... ... my problem is that I don't have a silicone heating pad or otherwise tacky grip for the handle. The handle got hot but not burning hot (I heated the water over a simmer burner and kept the handle out of the fire :) The only potholder I had handy was crocheted cotton and it kept slipping, so I fumbled a bit. Trying to hold the pot in one hand with the thing slipping in my potholder while trying to hold the lid on while pouring was awkward. Next time the lid comes off before I pour and I will use a silicone pot holder.The use of the pot holders is a must... but like I said, that's not the failure of this little pot.I feel compelled to mention the term 'Cup' here. One needs to understand Dry weight Oz in a Dry Cup measure vs Water weight Oz in a liquid measure. Think coffee shop cups and you'll get it. The US standard wet cup oz measure is about 8oz I think. Then comes the 12 oz. This pot holds 24 oz. SO... you can make 4 ' cups' tea, 2 'cups' of tea etc.To conclude:PRO: Very strong high quality Borosilicate Glass. Is lovely in it's shape. Holds & definitely boils 24 oz water on a gas range. IT POURS with NO Drips.CON: The 'squarish' - slightly rectangular handle is hard to hold because unlike the conventional round-curved handle it's hard to grip without a silicon or otherwise tacky pot holder and the lid needs to be held on while pouring.On the whole I am very happy with this little pot.

Al ser toda de cristal, incluido el filtro, permite ver como se abren las flores de te que aparte de resultar muy bonito tienen un sabor muy agradable. Tetera resistente y bonita. Muy contento con la compra
