Hario Cha Kyusu Maru Tea Pot, 450ml, Glass

It's a really well designed product. I love the filter quality, nice and thin and fits huge amounts of tea leaves. It's too bad you can't use the glass in microwave.

excellent designing with good stainer

Perfect size for two good cups of your favourite tea. Feels delicate but is hardy enough. The strainer is SS and Made in China unlike the pot which is a Japanese product. All in all, a very sophisticated way of brewing your best Darjeeling.

評価が高いわりに、やけに低評価のレビューがトップに表示されていることに違和感を感じましたが、他に気に入ったデザインのものがなかったので「ええい、ままよ」と購入しました。届いた商品は、低評価の方が述べているような、あからさまな中国製粗悪品ではなく高品質なおそらく日本製のもので、満足がいくものでした。最近、Amazonレビューが一部の中国業者の提唱するメソッドによって荒らされていると聞きます。そのやり口としては、・相場より安く出店・サクラアカウントによって大量購入後、高評価をつける・競合他社の商品レビューに低評価をつけると、いう、かつてのAppStoreで行っていたやり方と全く同じやり口とのことです。気をつけないといけませんね。本商品がその被害を受けたものなのか、それとも、単純に一時期偽物が流通に紛れ込んでいたのかはわかりません（低評価をつけている方が、どうもあんまりサクラ臭くないので）が、参考までに。

「男性である私がこれを所持することによって繊細な美意識を持っていることをアピール出来るのではないか」という邪まな思いから購入しました。もちろんティーカップもセットです。このティーポットを置いている棚の隣にはマリアージュフレールの缶を設置することにより、より紅茶文化への造詣の深さを訴求することが可能となっています。そのうちフルーツとかを沢山入れたフレーバーティーを作って「日課のティータイムなう」みたいなフェイク混じりのコメントとともにインスタにアップすることで（もちろんマリアージュフレールの缶が見切れた状態で）、たくさんのいいねを欲しいがままにしたいと思います。ちなみに偽物が届いたという投稿も沢山あるようですが、私は純正品でした。

I have now bought this in two different sizes but this size (450ml) is perfect for two and the one I use the most. I highly recommend it, especially for Japanese sencha tea or flowering teas. The capacity is enough for two decent (M) sized cups or 3 small Japanese style cups. Being made out of glass, not only makes it visually more appealing when you're serving the tea but it gives the benefit of being able to see the tea as it is brewing - so instead of timing each infusion (which is essential for serving sencha) you can judge how long to brew the tea based on how dark the colour of the tea is.The glass is good quality and strong and the spout is excellent for pouring. The small spout makes the teapot less prone to getting knocked or damaged and much easier to clean. What is unique about this teapot is the shield around the lid which makes it much easier to stay on while pouring. The teapot is well made with no ugly joins, it's comfortable to hold and also looks very elegant with its simple shape. The design is closer to the traditional ceramic Japanese teapots than most other glass teapots on the market (which are more western and fragile). The strainer looks quite good quality but I never use it because I prefer to give my tea leaves more space to expand and then pour with a strainer. The only gripe I have is that the brand name (Hario) and the words "made in Japan" has been printed on the right side of the teapot. It's very subtle but it would look better on the base.

Bought this teapot about a week ago and it arrived this morning. After washing it, and admiring it, I made my first pot of Sencha tea. And very good it was too! It made a very large mug of tea, approximately 3/4 of a pint, which is just right for me and I don't then need a second cup!Making the tea was simplicity itself as the filter is very fine. Just put in the right amount of tea, (into the sieve) add hot water at 80°C and leave for however long it needs to achieve the right colour and the job is done. Simply pour the tea and drink!The size of the pot is not 50ml - it is 450ml enough for a couple of tea cups.So to sum up - the pot is pretty, heat resistant, and most importantly makes a fine cop of tea. Lovely!

I have used the larger version of this teapot at a local tea room and found the design both beautiful and functional. Everything about it is so well designed. It doesn't drip when pouring, you can see when your tea is brewed to your liking, the lid fits back on even without the strainer in place (you'd be surprised how many pots with built in strainers don't) and the mesh is so fine you don't get any tea escaping. It's also easy to clean up with no awkward nooks and crannies. Being a fan of tea in general and oolong in particular, I had to have one for home use. This is the 450 ml size and is just the right size for either two small traditional tea cups or if you've no restraint like me, one whopping mug. I also can't fault the seller as the item arrived from Japan in 11 days and was well packaged. Price wise, it's a bargain. There is one UK specialist coffee seller charging an eye watering £35 for this very item - not even the larger size either!
