Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Joyce Chen Year Of The Dragon Tetsubi, Red
Customer Review: tetsubin (japanese style tea) masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
I have this dancing dragon tea pot and truly love it. For steeping tea only, not for top of stove as that is for the kettle. Nicely enameled inside. Stainless steel insert basket for loose tea leaf is a part of the pot package. I only use mine for fine green and Chinese teas. Tea connoisseurs say the build up of deposits from the water inside over time enhances your tea experience.
The sturdy cast iron pot makes enough for about 2 occidental mugs or 5-6 Chinese or Nihon-style tea cups. The Joyce Chien design is fun, as are all her Chinese Astrology symbol pots commemorating each animal year. (I particularly love the Year of the Horse pot, too). It comes in either black or red from various sellers. The company has a special instrument with which it puts the cast iron handle on. (Once I got one without the handle on and couldn't place it myself so the company told the seller I shouldn't even try. I sent it back for one with handle already on.) No flimsy affair is this pot! It's well made.
If you like green teas, like steeped tea, and like the Chien designs, this pot might be just your "cup of tea."
Description of Joyce Chen Year Of The Dragon Tetsubi, Red
Joyce Chen opened her first restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1958. 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 sources from all over the Pacific Rim to bring the best of Asia to you. These Japanese Tetsubin Cast Iron Teapots are hand cast and finished with a porcelain enamel interior and comes with a replaceable stainless steel mesh infuser. Safe for the stove top, but beautiful enough to use as a decor piece, the Year of the Dragon Tetsubin features a deep red finish and a stylized dragon in relief.A lovely example of the traditional cast-iron teapots known in Japan as tetsubin, this red pot with its delicate, hand-cast, raised design of a long-tailed dragon highlighted in black is not only prized as a collectible, but also brews 16 ounces of tea perfectly. Its interior is glazed in enamel, so it won't rust or corrode; nor will its stainless-steel infuser. To make soothing, full-flavored tea, simply spoon loose tea leaves into the infuser, pour on simmering water, and allow to steep for three to five minutes. The heavy cast-iron construction retains heat so well, it ensures second cups will still be hot. The pot stands just 5-1/2 inches high with its handle raised but weighs 3 pounds. --Fred Brack
