I love this teapot set. Perfect for tea for one while reading a book or for sharing. I use many times a week. Easy to use, keeps tea warm, just lovely!!!
Wow wow wow this tea set is excellent. Heavy and sturdy but super cute and bright. I'm absolutely delighted.
A beautiful teapot, I only wish the lip that holds the lid was better sealed, it rusted a little. But it was a gift for my boyfriend and he's very happy with it.
Cute little tea cups. They match the teapot my husband bought for me
Cute teapot and I kept it but a bit expensive for what I got.
I have the georgous tea cups in this pattern and am adding tea pot as it looks just like photo, authentic, and feels great in my hands.
This is a beautiful set! It is heavy duty, well-made, and fun to use. The cups are perfect for multiple small servings of tea, although they do get very hot and are more suited for lower temp teas like greens.. This was a gift, and I love it.
I got this for my wife. She wanted it for her birthday and she loved it. It is seriously heavy duty. The cups feel very weighty in your hand. It's very nice to look at.
I really like this teapot for brewing my green tea. It's sturdy and stays warm for quite awhile. Also, the dragonflies are cute.
I just got the cups, but they re sooo nice! Tea cooled in them very quickly, they have a lovely design, and just a nice weight and size to them. Will definitely be using them often,
Some believe that dragonflies are loved ones hovering near: 'Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear.' --Author unknown. If you love dragonflies, you'll love this beautifully-crafted teapot. It is enamel-glazed on the inside and there are matching cups as well (I have two!) It not only keeps my tea warm for a long time, it brightens my kitchen. Love it!
These cups are beautiful! I bought them while they were on sale :) The picture shows the inside of the cups being black but mine are actually navy blue... a little disappointed in that because I purchased a black teapot to go with them. I love that they have a bit of weight to them. They definitely get hot so I ll only be using for teas that don t require boiling water.
I only received the little cups. I haven't been able to get the teapot yet. The cups snuggle right into your hand and keep the tea perfectly warm.
I just got the 2 little cups, no handle, heavy. They are very cute, i use them for decoration
Beautiful and perfect size. My daughter and I enjoy drinking the tea of the day using it
Cute little cups, have not yet purchased the teapot itself. They re very small and get hot very easily so they re best for cooler teas that you want more so you can focus on the flavor. Hope to get the teapot later on down the line.
I picked up the cups on sale to match a teapot I already had-- they're high quality, hold heat well, and are quite attractive! Make sure you've got somewhere to set them down, however-- they warm up so quickly you're likely to burn yourself otherwise.
Got the cups for this, and they work wonderfully for lower temperature teas (green and white especially). They're absolutely gorgeous, and I love some heft to my teaware. The weight and texture are lovely.
perfect little cups! they're thick and very nice quality.
I love this teapot so much! And it keeps my tea hot for so long! It's perfect for a long work/study session!
Keeps your tea hot for a long time, but you likely won't need it because it's fairly small, you're more likely to drink it all before it cools down. Beautiful design, but useful for at most 3 people, unless you're pouring small cups for everybody. I would love to see a nice 40 oz pot with this kind of design. But I won't knock it because of what it is, and not what it isn't.
I wouldn't recommend using the cups that come with it because they get hot AF, I had to let the tea cool down a lot before I could hold them.
This is a great teapot! It is sturdy, hefty, and keeps the tea nice and hot. The cups do get frighteningly hot if you make something other than a green tea that is brewed at a lower temperature. With greens, you only need to wait a minute for the cup to cool slightly before enjoying. With hotter brewed oolongs or blacks, the cup is far too hot to touch for much longer. I find myself drinking the tea much faster when I use the cups due to the tea cooling off faster since there is less tea and the mouth is so wide. That s not a negative, just a point of notice. The tea remains hot for longer than in my ceramics too, it seems. Although the difference isn t so palpable as to render my ceramic teapot a relic of the past.
Bought this for my girlfriend who had always wanted one. Better than she says it's better than she expected
This is a lovely pot that perfectly brews just the right amount of my sencha premier. Whenever I sit down to read in the afternoon or evening, I feel so pampered to have my favorite tea in this perfect teapot.
Not big but just the right size. Still getting to know the right balance but am looking forward to years of usage.
Fantastic tea pot. Great size for 1-2 people. Keeps the heat in well. The cast iron is beautiful and easy to dry. Makes the perfect cup of tea
This teapot is beautiful! It's a pretty green colour, well made, holds about 3 mugs or 4 teacups full. It keeps tea hot for a loooong time. And it doesn't drip! I love it!!!
The pot is one of the larger ones Adagio offers. Because of the stainless steel mesh, the lid is not completely secured while pouring. Be careful when pouring so the lid doesn't fall off.
Great looking teapot. I bought it as a gift and they loved it!
This pot is gorgeous and a great, heavy weight. The cups are great too. Perfect for tea with my partner <3
I enjoy this teapot. I do have the occasional black speck, but I think that's because it's new. I can't find any damage on the inside, so it may be that the tea basket just lets small pieces of tea through.
beautiful tea pot our daughter loves it so glad I ordered the matching tea cups, durable set nice size for two people to enjoy a cup of tea together
Love it! It's beautiful and makes a wonderful centerpiece to the table. Seems to keep the tea hot for quite awhile!
Beautiful teapot. I haven't used it yet however. I've been waiting to use it once I move into my new kitchen. Soon, very soon - can't wait.
Was a gift for mum. She seemed to like the sturdy quality of it. Appearance was a bit different than pictured, though. Still nice to look at.
It was a nice tea pot and all, except I didn't like the fact that it could not be used in the stove top.
I'm okay with it, I just wish there was an easier way to remove the infuser without burning my hand.
This pot's so heavy, I love it! The only problem I've been having is that it's not very big so I have to brew twice to have enough tea for myself and my husband. Otherwise, it's beautiful!
The teapot itself is nice. Solid and heavy, but it doesn't hold much tea. However, the teacups that are sold with it transfer heat too easily. You can hardly hold them when you make hot tea.
I love my new teapot! I wake up early Sunday morning and make a pot to keep next to me while I read in bed. It's the perfect size and quantity on a nice lazy morning--Or just to have when I'm studying!
It's beautiful, well designed, and generally wonderful.
This teapot is so pretty, omg. And it really does hold a lot of tea! Now I don't have to worry about my tea getting cold since the cups are cast-iron as well :)
The dragonfly design is so beautiful and holds a great amount of tea. Thank you for making a sturdy and gorgeous product.
Got these as a gift. Person said they loved them :)
Got this for my boyfriend as a birthday gift. Very beautiful, high quality, and elegant.
I just received this set last week and have already fallen in love with it! I was concerned about the small size when I ordered it, but I have been wanting one of these type of teapots for a while and loved the color and dragonflies enough to order it. It turns out the size it just fine and the cast iron keeps the tea warm for a long time so I can enjoy hot tea from it for several hours.
I absolutely love this teapot! It is beautiful, practical, and easy to clean (just hot water, no soap). I also love the matching tea cups. The set is a perfect (and usable) everyday decoration for my kitchen table!
Very nice design. Liked the size as well as the green color so I figured I would give it an order. Sturdy and looks really nice as well.
