Title: Great tea pot, but beware of distributor!
Review: Although I have the 4-cup model, I have never had a problem with the Brown Betty. Not only does it produce a great liqueur (sp?) for some very hard-to-brew black teas, but it maintains heat very well, and somehow seems to prevent otherwise bitter teas from growing bitter too quickly. (it will, of course, grow if you keep the brew in there long enough). I AM careful (maybe needlessly?) not to wash my teapot with soap for fear of doing something to the glaze, and thus only use it -- in general -- for one kind of black tea (most often different grades of Darjeeling -- somtimes Ceylon). I don't know what you'd use for green teas -- I'd try some sort of purple clay unglazed (probably not the brown betty), but this is the top of the line for black teas.Definitely one of my prize collections, and I recommend this for any tea lover out there!...
