Would make a nice gift July 10, 2005
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I got this for myself to use at the office, but in retrospect it would have made an excellent gift for my officemate, who also appreciates tea.
The teas: There's a sizeable sample of each--maybe eight cups?--and I am crazy about the Earl Grey. So fragrant. The Yunnan and English Breakfast are nothing extraordinary, as far as I'm concerned, and I hate the Irish Breakfast, but when you need a cuppa, you need a cuppa. They're all being drunk, teaspoon by teaspoon.
The pot: Everybody wants to know what it is. "It's my teapot," I say, and they're confused. Then I get to demonstrate. It makes about two cups, which is not quite enough if you're sharing it between two typical office mugs but plenty if you're drinking it by yourself. I share with my officemate, usually, so we brew it strong and then top off our mugs with more hot water. It's difficult sometimes to get the last couple of tablespoons out of the bottom, and that problem seems to be growing more pronounced with use, but it's not a serious issue. It doesn't leak if handled properly, and it's pretty easy to clean.
In sum, it's a nice set.
