The pot feels really nice in the hand. I was extremely happy when I received it and shipping was exceptionally fast! Event though the teapot I purchased was a cheaper one, it still feels great. I am very happy with my purchase and will be buying another in the future.
This pot is beautiful, thank you! The pour is fast and good. It brews a excellent cup of tea, I will be getting another for my black teas.
This is my fourth teapot of Master Li Yan Ru. What great skill does she have in mastering this gorgeous teapot. The lid fits in al directions and against to a T. The pour is strong and never leaks. It’s very very symmetrical. I really love it! I tried it with several oolongs and pu ers. Especially the pu ers taste very silky in this teapot. I can only recommend !
The bamboo details on this pot are so fine and elegant, and it's a joy to hold. It shipped fairly quickly and was very carefully packaged. Would happily purchase from RZS again :)
