Product Description
The inspiration for this tetsubin is tea caddy used in tea ceremonies in Japan. The caddy is called natsume which gets it's name from the fruit (jujube) of Chinese date tree. Like all Joyce Chen handcasted tetsubins, this one is fully enameled in the interior and fitted with a fine stainless steel mesh infuser. Hand-cast, this Japanese teapot is an exclusive design of Joyce Chen, purveyors of innovative Asian cookery, cutlery and accessories for the Western kitchen. It comes with a replaceable, stainless steel mesh infuser and porcelain enamel finish on the inside. Today's Japanese cast iron Tetsubin teapots, with their fine raised relief designs, are admired and collected, not only for their quiet delicacy, but also for their ability to brew a perfect cup of tea. The cast iron keeps brewed tea extremely hot yet the interior porcelain enamel keeps the metal from interacting with the tea or imparting a metallic taste. Joyce Chen's slogan Eastern Cookware for the Western Kitchen, reflects her focus on providing high-quality, versatile tools and products that have Asian flair, but can be used in a western kitchen. Joyce Chen opened her first restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1958. The restaurant flourished, and in 1973 a larger Cambridge restaurant was opened. Chen also began writing Chinese cookbooks and in the 1970s began hosting a cooking show on public television. She found that the selection and quality of Chinese cookware in America didn't live up to her high standards so she developed her own. Today, Joyce Chen Products come from all over the Pacific Rim to bring the best of Asia to you.

Beautiful quality teapot
By Nicholas Damon
This tea pot is wonderful, I'm loving it already, it has a pretty subtle swirl in the pattern that I didn't see in the picture. I will upload I picture I took where you can see it. its large enough to brew tea to share with company and it holds heat well. the only reason it did not get 5 stars is because my mother has a Joyce Chen Tetsubin that was purchased a few years ago and it has thicker walls. even with thinner cast iron its still lovely and i'm sure I will love it for many wonderful pots of tea to come.

By Moshineko
Lovely teapot for a rather reasonable price (if you are willing to wait a day or so when prices are high). The pot seems a fine weight, and has a good pour and recessed cover (an issue for me on my other cast iron pot, where the cover falls off when making a deep pour). My favorite part of the pot is it's lovely look, rough but beautiful, a wonderful look for both Asian and European kitchens. As noted in the phot left by another user, the pot has a lovely spiral on one side.
