Would make a nice gift
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.More detail ...
