Black Cast Iron Tea Set Dragonfly #ts4/07

Good Rikyu set, excellent craftsmanship First off, quality and craftsmanship. This tea set purports to be functional; it is. It also purports to be beautiful; in the sense of Shibui (or Shibumi if you can grasp the concept), it is. By its very nature of being sold as such, it implies to be well made enough to support its function; in this it excels. If treated properly and not misused (do not heat these directly), it will last. This set makes roughly 20 ounces, which is a decent amount: 3 6oz cups of tea or 5 of the 4oz cups that come with it. For one or two people, this is perfect; tea takes minutes to brew.

MORE THAN I EXPECTED!!! I am a rookie in the tea world.But there’s nothing wrong with learning how to make and drink tea in one of many traditional ways.The tetsubin is small (descriptive measurements are accurate) but its more than enough for my girlfriend and I.It has very good craftmanship and solidity.If you follow the instructions on how to use it and clean it, it will last you a lifetime.DO NOT place over stovetop.You are supposed to heat the water separately.This makes the process longer but it forces you to take your time,relax,and drink a well made cup of tea.It’s not an hour long process either.Be careful with the cups, do not fill to the top when drinking the tea, they will get very hot and burn you.Hope this was helpful.DRINK TEA AND STAY HEALTHY! Beautiful I bought this for my mother. When I showed it to her and her friend, the first thing the friend said was, “Oh my god, that is beautiful”. It is a very sturdy/heavy teapot and the cups are strong too. Restaurant-qualit...

Beautiful set Crackle Effect 6 Pcs Japanese Sushi Plate Set (Aqua) I gave this set as a gift and received many compliments. It’s beautiful, and the packaging makes it a really nice gift. A high quality product. Great value for the money. Beautiful Sushi Set My girlfriend really loves sushi, so i bought this set for her for Christmas. I was nervous buying something like this from just a picture. I was happily surprised when i opened the package and found these beautiful plates. They are sturdy, and a good size. She loved them. Additionally, she has washed them multiple times in the dishwasher, and they seem to have survived (although I wouldn’t recommend it). Click to Editorial Reviews
