Review: Your next family heirloom. - The star ratings are a bit vague in that one could certainly acknowledge that this kettle is easy to clean, giftable, and warm. If you choose to undermine seasoning your teapot by leaving the trace sedimentary residue left behind from actually brewing tea in it, its easy to clean. It's cast iron coated with porcelain enamel. In regards to giftability, certainly. If your intentions are to gift someone a teapot that they could pass down generation to generation, buy it. The idea behind a gift has a lot less to do with the item itself rather than the gifter and the giftee in my opinion. I could gift someone a pack of gum but I don't need a review or anything else for that matter to tell me how the gift was received. As for "warmth", well, I've never used or heard of a teapot that brewed hot tea without adding heat so yeah, its warm. My personal take on this specific teapot is simple. I purchased and received precisely what I was looking for at a price that I was agreeable to pay. The following were my prerequisites: • Durability - One might have to actually try and break it but, why? I'm rough on things but I won't be smashing any teapots with my smith's hammer anytime soon. • Functionality - I bought it to keep on our wood stove throughout the winter months to serve as a humidifier as well as always having hot water available to brew tea, make coffee, oats, or whatever may require it. • Volume - There are 5 of us in our immediate family. A tiny teapot simply would not do. This teapot is 3L. Unless you go through the majority of your day drinking tea perpetually, you won't be topping of the water too often. Besides, I wouldnt attempt to heat anything much larger on a wood stove. This specific style or type (Hakone) is modeled after traditional teapot designs that have been heirlooms in Japanese families for many years. The manufacturer Old Dutch has a great reputation for cast iron products. For me, the type and manufacture met my personal quality standards and in turn resulted in my purchase. I was not disappointed and I remain very pleased with it. This is a durable quality item that I suspect I will get a lifetime of use from. Review: Wonderful teapot! - This teapot looks really nice and holds a decent amount of tea. It doesn't drip when pouring. The handle stays cool. It's easy to fill, pour and clean. I use a tea light candle warmer with mine (2 candles) and it keeps the tea nice and hot for hours at a time (I use the Stonebriar long burning tea light candles - also purchased from desertcart). I follow the instructions given by the manufacturer and rinse it out with hot water from my kitchen faucet while the pot is still warm, then thoroughly dry it and so far no rusting. I believe it will last a long, long time if I continue to take care of it properly. The strainer that comes with it works great. The handle did come disassembled, but my daughter's boyfriend was able to insert the handle for me (it just look a bit of strength to get it into the holes). If you don't have a fair amount of strength and don't have someone to help you, I wouldn't recommend this teapot since getting the handle in would be impossible for someone like me (a 56 year old woman, without a lot of strength). Otherwise, it's a really nice teapot and I highly recommend it! ## Features - The heat-retaining properties of cast iron allow our tetsubin teapots to keep tea at the proper serving temperature for up to an hour - The glass enamel interiors keep the taste of the tea pure and allow for easy cleaning - Infuser included - Rinse out with warm water and hand dry - Warranty not included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008K185VM | | Best Sellers Rank | #562,234 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #1,673 in Teapots | | Brand Name | Old Dutch International | | Capacity | 20 Fluid Ounces | | Color | Matte Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (2,155) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00045642040168 | | Included Components | teapot and lid with infuser | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 5.25"D x 6.5"W x 6"H | | Item Type Name | teapot | | Manufacturer | Old Dutch International | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1016MB | | Material Type | Cast Iron | | Model Name | Sapporo | | Model Number | 1016MB | | Size | 20-Ounce | | UPC | 045642040168 885191091866 | | With Lid | Yes | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Old Dutch International - **Capacity:** 20 Fluid Ounces - **Color:** Matte Black - **Is Dishwasher Safe:** No - **Manufacturer:** Old Dutch International - **Material:** Cast Iron - **Model Name:** Sapporo - **Product Dimensions:** 5.25"D x 6.5"W x 6"H - **UPC:** 045642040168 885191091866 - **With Lid:** Yes ## Images ![Old Dutch Cast Iron Sapporo Teapot, 20-Ounce, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mXj+HLqZL.jpg) ![Old Dutch Cast Iron Sapporo Teapot, 20-Ounce, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BoYBnodYL.jpg) ![Old Dutch Cast Iron Sapporo Teapot, 20-Ounce, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21hsGIsMklL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: where is this made?** A: China. From package: "All Unity Teapots are made of FDA approved materials and are certified lead-free." **Q: Where is the product made?** A: I do not know where it is manufactured, but I bought it as an alternative to a higher priced Japanese tetsubin tea pot and absolutely love it! **Q: Has anyone used the cast iron teapot warmers that use tealights? If so, do they produce enough heat to keep the tea warm?** A: Tealights works, but they smear the bottom of the teapot with dark smoke. I now use a cup warmer and I found this Disney mug warmer to be very suitable and inexpensive: http://amzn.com/B00AZEZ50Q. You get a nice mug to keep too. The hype about this teapot that keeps the tea warm by itself is not true. Cast iron does not retain heat by nature. You do need the warming solution like the tealight of mug warmer. **Q: Source of origin (country of manufacture)?** A: All i can tell you is that is the same teapot that is at Tevana at the mall for double the price. I am very happy . Since I saved $50. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Your next family heirloom. *by R***F on November 16, 2020* The star ratings are a bit vague in that one could certainly acknowledge that this kettle is easy to clean, giftable, and warm.

We love tea in this house. so it has had to be a workhorse mostly on top my wood stove night and day all winter. Originally I never gave it a good enough rating because I thought it never came with the stainless steel infuser as I thought it was supposed to have one. It is such high quality and so nice I did not send it back and I am glad about that. This size kettle was not supposed to come with a diffuser. Now I am glad that I read It wrong when I ordered it. Unlike the others, it is a large special run size not like those tiny tea pots that don’t let you enjoy tea all morning because they only brew two cups this one brews better than twice as much as those little suckers and I use it loose leaf and strain it later as I keep it at a slow simmer. If you like tea and want a sturdy way to brew it up, this gets the job done on gas wood and electric. I have used it plenty on both wood and propane. Perfect tea every time.
