Excerpts from emails sent in by Sorapot customers:

“It’s more stunning in person than in pictures. We had it shipped to my friend’s work and you can be sure that an office full of talented architects was wowed and impressed. It really is a beautiful piece. You’ve achieved such a great balance between elegance and industrialism. ” -Derrick N, San Francisco

“My mother ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Thank you so much!” -Brandon B, Pennsylvania

“Even though I drank no tea at all in the past, watching it brew in the Sorapot has tempted me to try a cup recently and I may be reconsidering my feelings towards tea.” -Ali L, MI

“Sorapot gets oohs and aahs every time I brew up a pot in it! In addition to its good looks, it pours well and is easy to clean. Even though there are other glass teapots out there, like a Bodum one I also have, the way that the tea is brewed without a press right in the water makes it a treat to watch.” -Michelle B, Ann Arbor, MI

“[Sorapot] had its debut serving on the weekend when some friends dropped by for the afternoon. It was fun to see the incredulous looks on their faces and the Sorapot became the centrepiece of conversation for quite some time!” -Todd W, London

“I knew Sorapot would end up looking great based purely on the prototype images I had seen. What I did not expect was just how beautiful it would actually be when I held it in my hands. While it’s not that heavy, it feels really solid (reminds me a bit of my cast iron skillet that will last me a lifetime). I like solid, sturdy things.” -Nikhil R, Chicago

“I did receive the Sorapots safe and sound and am stunned by how beautiful they are. I confess, I haven’t yet used my Sorapot because I just want to admire it. The packaging is fantastic, as well.” -Maria N, Oakland, CA
