To celebrate my purchase of ^this clunky, inelegant, Euro-frump rendition of a tetsubin, I also bought some lapsang-souchong-in-a-box. While I graciously accept my new teapot’s flawsnuances, this nearly-generic lapsang is the most underwhelming I’ve ever had – and I can’t accept that.
If I did buy a tetsubin, I’d likely never sully it with such insipid stuff. You’ve got to have a scintilla of respect for quality cast-iron cookware!
proper, square tetsubins
