Some teapots just work like a gentle swish and flick.
We find that many side handle pots can be cumbersome to hold and look cooler than they feel in the hand. Much of this honestly may just be chalked up to the size of the hand though.
We like these pots for being rather forgiving, having a handle that's far away from the body, and offer a second finger rest along the rim of the pot...
if the lid knob is too slippery or feels to far for your finger.
At 135ml, with a steady flowing spout, these pots feel enjoyable for a heavy solo session or quick enough to keep up with your group of thirsty small teapot friends.
If you're into nerding out this is a great opportunity to get a pot in a number of Qinzhou finishes. Typically we get the onyx and cocoa more often, so this is a rare chance to pick up a copper colored pot.
Like with most things, we feel like side by side side tests are the best way to spot the differences and learn by doing.
We won't judge you if you buy 3 of the "exact same" pot.
Looking for an upgrade and want the fanciest side handle....
