Editor's Notes

March 21, 2019:

Before purchasing a tea set, keep in mind that most of these teapots are made of porcelain or ceramic, so they are meant for brewing only and cannot be used on the stovetop. However, the Kendal 6-Piece and Isino Tetsubin are safe for stovetop use, and the Seb's Kitchen Handcrafted can be used to heat water in the microwave if you remove the metal filter. The majority of Japanese tea sets are small, and the OMyTea Vintage is especially tiny — the pot only holds a little over 6 ounces, so expect to refill it often. But, if the size doesn't bother you, it's a very well-made set, and the included zippered case is convenient for storage and travel. On the other end of the size spectrum is the Kendal 6-Piece, which can hold up to 60 ounces, and the cast iron retains heat well, so it will keep your tea hot for a while.
