SADNESS

[jubilantia]

I was rinsing out the teapot I got in Japan and I dropped it in the sink and it BROKE. It was a clay one; they're supposed to be more neutral so as not to affect the taste. It broke into two perfect pieces, so it should be repairable with epoxy, but online sources say it will no longer be foodsafe. It wasn't that expensive, only about 20 or 30

Since you are worried about breaking teapots, I suggest investing in a tetsubin (use that as your keyword in a shopping web-search), which is a Japanese cast-iron teapot. Depending upon size and decoration, they range in price from about $40 up to around $130.

Teavana has some nice ones; Japanese shops here in the US generally carry a variety of them as well.

Aw thanks! I did get a new regular one, but cast iron sounds like a good idea.
