The packaging is beautiful!

that sorapot is so damn hot!

That teapot looks quite divine!

That it the hottest teapot out there, but unfortunately the price puts it out of my reach… Guess I’ll be saying the same thing in every giveaway, haha.

Looks so cool! Nice site also!

it is so beautiful. we are fanateac about tea here, have 8 kind of tea pots. this one is another thing…

wow!

I have two empty teacups waiting to be filles… but no teapot.

Please help. Anyone?

I love this! I would love this!

SORAPOT IS THE FUTURE.

…Dude… it looks like something off of Star Trek!

I’d so be sitting there imagining having tea-time with Picard! Hahah!

HOLA!!

I love it cause it reminds me the silent hill, I had to leave long time ago (just when it’s filled with green tea)!

so sleek and futuristic! def a great addition to the kitchen beside the coffee press.

please, please, make me a teaholic….

IN THE MOOD FOR TEA

I wonder how the Sorapot looks filled with teabags instead of loose tea?

Check out my most recent tea branding project over here. high quality Fairtrade tea in regular, cheap teabags.

Tea time for me is usually my quiet time, though if I had that, I wouldn’t dare drink tea alone. I’d need to invite people over just to show that thing off! “You want some tea? Yes you do, I’ll make us a pot anyway” haha!

i could definitely see this teapot in one of those crazy futuristic movies, being held by some kind of streamlined shiny steel robot whirring around the house… the design is so simple yet it looks like it could withstand any kind of disaster. very nice!

I think that this is just beautiful and amazing.. the design is so simple and effective.. o what I wouldn’t give to have one… damn me being a poor college student lol

Love just putting my sorapot out for everyone to see even if I dont have any tea prepared. Everyones always like keke what is that and I slap them because they dont even know. I also use it as my alcoholic teapot, I just am too cool when I pour my b52s out my sorapot. Australia’s no.1 sorapot fanboi.

Its beautiful! If I won this I’d have to bring back teaparties. And I’d definitely switch to loose tea so I could see it swirling around in there. Love it!

Incredible tea pot! I’m flirting it for a long long time!

I’ve kept up with the Sorapot from all the design blogs, and it’s especially lovely because I drink so much flowering tea! Too bad I can’t afford it… =(

i’d love to make my tea in one of these this winter!

mmm…. yummy, especially with peppermint tea in it.

I need one. I’m not covering my daily tea needs lately.

A great teapot indeed, I’ve been waiting for its release for a long time. The holidays would be hard to bare without one. wink.

I want one !

Definitely a gorgeous piece!

That’s it, I’m divorcing my teapot…. She’s just not maintaining!

Very sharp!

Wow, I’m thirsty just looking at it. I love the string topping off the packaging, a nice nostalgic touch.

The nice design makes the tea taste so much better.

That’s lovely, really. And I’ve been needing a new teapot!

My wife works as a package designer and she would LOVE this as her xmas/anniv gift (our anniv is on xmas )

It’s brewing tea with style.

I absolutely love this design. Like a Bodum that has fallen over

An object any tea maker would lust over. Of course I would love to gift it to my mother.

There’s something about the Sorapot that makes me think of a traditional tea ceremony conducted in a sacred room, recreated in the future on another world. The blooms suspended protectively in the frame… I sound silly, I know. But it looks like poetry.

I’m asian, I’m a natural tea drinker!

I have recently rediscovered tea. There’s something just calming about the entire ritual, from heating the water, to steeping the tea, to nursing that warm mug while you drink it. I have to admit that as a designer, this pot makes me drool. It’s just gorgeous! The lines are so clean and beautiful. I’m dying to get my hands on one, to see if the manufacturing is done as well as the design has been. It definitely would enhance the tea ritual, and add a touch of beauty and glamour to this peaceful routine.

That is a lovely teapot! And the potential to use home grown loose leaf tea too. I never started drinking tea until I was placed at my current graphic design job. When I first started they drank tea 24/7… now I do too! So much more soothing than coffee in my honest opinion.

BTW It is VERY awesome to see a project all the way through from concept to finished product and THEN to have people drooling over it in a giveaway contest. Congratulations!

I have yet to adventure to loose tea land..I think this make my journey arrive quicker!

I want tthhiiiss!

This is definitely the most beautiful Tea pot I’ve ever seen. Bravo!

I enjoy looking at it as a piece of art. In some angles it reminds me of a sailing ship.

Having just finished up work at a traditional english style tea shop with owners of asian decent I can more than appreciate the quality of freshly brewed tea with loose tea leaves but, as a southern girl (with an inclination to aesthetically pleasing and functional) there is no doubt in my heart that sun tea is the only way to go.

Great product and beautiful design!

please and thank you!

drinking from this seems like i’d be tasting the future. i must admit: that future tastes delightful.

That tea pot is beautiful, it deserves to go to someone English who knows how to make a proper cup of tea! *grins*

i wish i had sorapot on those cold lonely nights… sorapot

I absolutely love the design of this teapot! The brushed finish really accentuates and frames the contents of the teapot in the middle…My dad (who is a big tea drinker) would love this!

How fun would it be to make tea in this thing… it is definitely a show-stopping piece

Awesome, this has got to be one of the best giveaways ever.

love the unique shape and tea-making process

Beautifully design teapot. I love how simple and streamlined it is. The packaging also compliments it as well. It has the contrast of modern industrial and organic/natural. Overall its well thought through.

I feel like drinking tea from this might require stainless steel and glass cups, also drop-shipped from the future.

I love the juxtaposition between the super sleek teapot and the old world looking packaging. I would’ve assumed it would ship in some super fancy Apple-like box. But no, it comes in a box that is just as display worthy as the product. Fancy that

wow, it’s beautiful

As much as I sometimes enjoy that cup o’ joe - there is nothing more relaxing when the smell of fresh brewed tea fills the house. The whole process of tending to make the tea is something I do more than three times a day. The Sorapot has definitely filled the realism of our imaginations! It’s a very practically made product.

i like winning.

I’m just a struggling fundraiser at an art school. How I would be the envy of my peers — faculty and staff alike — if I were picked! I could serve tea at meetings — just like in Europe. Things would be more civilized if I won the Sorapot (and many, many would benefit). Yes we can! bring design and art to the American meeting!

This is one the most innovative and quite amazing designs for a teapot that I’ve ever seen. It gives the tea leaves room to expand properly so that you can taste the tea the way that it was intended. It’s beautiful!

It’s sad…I work in a tea shop, I know almost everything there is to know about tea, yet I don’t own a teapot. I wish I could get this one for Xmas. wink wink

Would love to gift this to my mother in law!

This makes my teapot look like crap!

I. MUST. HAVE.

I eat sleep and breath tea…I run a tea shop and am always searching the web looking for new tea “paraphernalia ” for the shop ( honestly, mostly for myself )..Sorapot is actually how I found NOTCOT in the first place. Now I have an unhealthy obsession with a tea pot (so much so that it is my screen saver at work AND home…the holidays are coming and I have no shame) and a design website. I dont expect to win this so I will graciously accept the Blaue Blume Tea Set as a consolation prize……

oooh, so beautiful!

i have been pining over this…

i have the perfect blank space in my kitchen for that!

oh man, i saw this on the coupon page and began lusting for it right away! beautiful design.

Gorgeous simplicity with a ton of contemporary style. Love it!

in the words of the immortal paris hilton, thats hot…

I’m in love with your teapot and I’d never drink a drop out of another should it be mine.

I used to think tea was for babies, that is until I say this teapot. Boom!!!!

Did Kipling write this poem knowing that something like this would someday come along and solve ALL his problems?

We had a kettle; we let it leak:

Our not repairing made it worse.

We haven’t had any tea for a week…

The bottom is out of the Universe. -

oh I love this tea pot its very hard to find modern looking tea pots like this and I love how its horizontal more than vertical. OOOO all the flower teas I could out in that!!

That is a beautiful product. It really shows that the design never stopped at the completion of the Sorapot. Great job on the Sorapot and the packaging.

The design of this kettle is simply wonderful. So sleek and elegant. It’s any tea drinker’s dream.

Such a nice tea pot!

“I’m a little tea pot short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my spout. When I get all steamed up, hear me shout…please give me to Shelby so she doesn’t pout!!!!!!”

It took me a while just to figure out what it was. This is an awsome tea pot. You could’nt imagion on some of the things I thought it was. And one of them was not a tea pot.

I absolutely love this design. So cool.

Oh yes, yes please. I’ve wanted one for well over a year now!

I love the design of this pot, simple and elegant. would be great for some blooming teas.

I love all kinds of tea, and I love the sleek curves of the Sorapot… but what I love the most is how the tea itself is in the spotlight. There’s a quiet beauty in watching the leaves unfurl and transform ordinary water into something extraordinary - difficult with conventional teapots, impossible with (heaven forbid!) teabags, but center stage in the Sorapot design. Fantastic.

Look at that packing!!!!

I saw these when they first were released and loved them even then. I must get one!!

I saw these when they first were released and loved them even then. I must get one!!

Truly a great design and what a great gift to offer.

My favorite tea is this Chinese black tea that has a hint of coffee aroma in it. My mom mails it to me from overseas about twice a year to stock my cabinet because she knows it’s what I crave when I want to feel like home. Having this teapot would so class it up!

As a packaging enthusiast and avid teas drinker, I would be so excited to receive this awesome package only to open it up and find a fantastic work of art inside. And I’m sure that tea brewed in this pot tastes just that much better than tea from a regular pot. Love it!!

it should double as an iron

this tea pot looks like it should be fun in the ritual of brewing.

I wonder how Yerba maté would act inside of it.

I do believe that you can actually tell the future with this teapot. I can imagine waking up in the morning making yourself a pot of tea and realizing that the apocalypse is here, or maybe that it will be a breezy day.

very nice tea pot~!!

the package also has a zen scene to it, very elegant as a gift~!! (though I think if I ever buy it I would want to keep it for myself)

it kind of reminds me of a pig for some reason.

i love the raw edges on the packaging. it’s a nice contrast to the sleek metal of the sora. Compliments!

Gimmie!

i love the sorapot.. i was able to see it in person at a show in D.U.M.B.O.

very beautiful design!

A perfect gift for my sister. She loves tea, but she wants a dachshund, you know a hot dog dog. Don’t think she can handle that, but this tea pot, kinda looks like a shiny metal dachshund…with a handle.

Fabulous, urban chic… I would love one!

Pick me, pick me, pick meeee!

I love the process of how the Sorapot works—and that you can SEE the tea brewing! This pot must take tea time from “having something to drink” to enjoying a real tea-inspired experience. Absolutely beautiful.

as an avid tea consumer, i must comment that this sorapot is ingenious!

not only is the curve of the handle deadly attractive, but the cylinder in which tea itself is housed is gorgeous.

I’m a little teapot, long and sleek

Here is my handle, here is my beak

I have these beautiful Chinese tea leaves at home. It’d only be appropriate if I were to use those with the Sorapot.

I was just telling my coworker how much I loved this! I spied it in the Moma catalog.

I love this pot, the contrast of the cool brushed steel against the warmth of the glass filled with tea is just amazing. I’d love to see what it looks like with a blooming tea in it.

that is the most gorgeous pot i’ve ever seen…

ooh! I want one.

Lovely teapot!

Ohhh So pretty I want one!

Sorapot for the win, please!

What a fabulous teapot! Now that its starting to get cold again, tea and I are getting reacquainted.

Speechless.

I remember seeing this as a concept, I guess I missed it actually being available. It’s a beautiful and functional work of art for those who love tea.

oh good god. that thing is maybe the most lovely piece of functional artwork i’ve seen in a long time.

i work out in the shenandoahs doing field work all day long and winter is a loooong out here…it’s snowing this very second. if i am the lucky one, i promise to use it and love it well.

It certainly does look like a work of art, I would love to have one of these!

Beautiful!

Holla, that is finally a tea pot! What a great design! Honestly I didn’t know what it was in the beginning…had to read. But yeah, I want one!

with loose tea, it reminds me of those thin paneled wave displays filled with sand and blue water at the discovery store. with flowering tea, it reminds me of a delicious terrarium that one could not just let alone and had to fill with water… either way, it brings nostalgia and calm.

This is clearly the most dramatic way to serve a hot beverage out of a decanter that strongly resembles some sort of robotic pig. Kudos!

This piece is absolutely stunning! Congratulations Joey!

Ha! and I was just shopping for teapots last week!

Yum yum!! I love this design and functionality.. it kind of looks like a drainage ditch but trendier.

Oooh! So incredibly beautiful!

fresh design the will get better with age. Has a mellow Zen contemplative look while still being unpretentious in look.

Hands down that is the best looking teapot I have ever seen.

The pic with the settled tea and leaves looks like a landscape — super beautiful!

Nice to see a cool looking Tea Pot for a change.

Sublime.

I love this! It would look beautiful with a Chinese blooming tea inside.

Having begun the search for a replacement for my much beloved (given by my GF (now wife) and broken by some insolent cur!) Glass Concert Teapot, I had taken interest in the Sorapot. The price tag scared me away and I have been using 1 serving glass mugs in the mean time. Adagio says they will have more in December… hopefully.

Regardless of winning, keep up the excellent work, and thank you for the opportunity to win such a gorgeous and unique kettle.

Ciao

-DR

It’s absolutely gorgeous!!

Genius! This tea pot makes me happier than toasted angel food cake with peanut butter!

I teach a class on packaging design at a university in California and would love to show this off in class as I have a cup of tea before the lecture starts!

Beautiful! This would make the perfect gift for my girlfriend.

You have answered my prayers!

GO SORAPOT GO!

So rad!

the packaging is (almost) as beautiful as the product. I would love using this in my studio - tea all around!

I love how unassuming the packaging is..and then you open and BAM! Sexy sorapot. It appeals to me in a quadraped kind of way.. I like how it reminds me of a headless animal.

Wow it’s a complete package: apart from the beautiful looking teapot the box it’s packed is a great addition, almost a small giveaway itself

That is so elegant. The way tea should be.

So lovely.

LOVE IT. Made for my personal office tea pause…

The lines are beautiful and the tasty tea is even better.

i need one of thesesese baaad

the design is truly, wow. intriguing packaging as well.

Downright exquisite design. I would be thrilled to load it up with this ginseng oolong and watch them unfurl!

The first time I saw the sorapot (which was on notcot), I thought to myself that it was the most innovative, beautiful, and sleek teapot I’d ever seen and ever would see…and so far, nothing’s even come close to proving me wrong. I could gush over it for another hour…but I’ll just say that it’s awesome that you’re giving one away. Crossies!

Amazing teapot, and I love the contrast between it and the really earthy-looking packaging.

“Would you like a cup of Tea?”

“Why yes, thank you.”

I should like to win that teapot.

I have loved that tea pot since I first saw it unveiled! Notcot is my favorite addiction, and I would love this tea pot!

what a killer piece. i love it!

My girlfriend has become a tea fanaticaddict. Her current teapot pales in comparison to the design of this beauty. It defiantly would be much more attractive on my counter.

Ooooooh, such a great teapot. Thanks NOTCOT!

i love tea. i love teapots. i love this teapot.

Exquisite.

Too, too beautiful!

wow! looks gorgeous

I heart tea. And sorapot. I love how conventional teapot and beverage-container shapes have been completely re-thought.

Oh, that is gorgeous. The recycled pulp and twine-like ribbon look homey and warm… perfect for that nice hot cup of tea!

wow, lotsa comments…

i love tea:)

Nothing better than when function and design form something gorgeous.

i COVET this teapot. How beautiful.

Can I keep Sea Monkeys in it?

Beautiful form but I’d love to find out if it pours well!

wow, its so lovely! a must have!

Congratulations to Joey on the creation of something wonderful. Im sure you put a lot of love into bringing this teapot to life, and it shows.

gotta love the pot!!! oh man, i love the pot.

what a beautiful teapot!

the future of pots!

I’ll admit it. I’m just commenting in the off chance that I will win this. But really, that is one amazing teapot.

I’ve seen those before, thought about getting one but never pulled the trigger.

Winter is the best season. I get to laze around and read books and watch the snow outside and listen to piano sonatas and drink pot after pot of tea. It’d be nice to make the tea drinking a more aesthetic experience, hm?

I’ve been keeping myself from buying this ever since I heard about it. I lust after it to make my morning cup but the price isn’t staving artist/poor college student friendly.

TeaStyle! That is definately not your mother’s tea set.

Beautiful.

it seems to be tea time yey!

M.

it seems to be tea time :D!

M.

Drinking tea right now and wishing it had been poured by a Sorapot.

Wow what a beautiful teapot! Functional yet beautiful, everything one could want.

As a design student and a tea lover I this teapot is the best of all things.

those pics are such a TEA-se!

love it, I am considering getting this for my wife, but winning one!!! that would be so much cooler, especially an autographed one!

1… 2… 3… 4…

Here’s a tea-pot I adore.

Would love to give this to my girlfriend with some lovely tea for those cold winter days together.

Everything from the packaging down to the spout is fantastic. And what better way to showcase your teas than in the sorapot’s clear body, rather than having it masked by conventional pots. It’s amazing to see the tea pot evolve into something like the sorapot. Bravo.

that’s so hot, i wanna sleep with it!

Awesome design!

Would make a perfect christmas gift!

Sweet tea that is amazing!

LOVE THIS!

I’m on this like a fat kid to cake!

Subsequently, and completely unrelated, I’m going to go get some cake…

Tea-riffic.

LOVE that tea pot. and would LOVE to own it.

Beautiful Teapot!

I like Tea, I like POT, would I like SORAPOT?

Sweet tea pot.

TEAPOT! Thanks to Jean and the NOTCOT team for everything I’ve discovered over the past 3 years! Thank you thank you thank you!

Nice design. Looks like some kind of high-tech fuel containment device from a sci-fi movie.

what a delightful gift it would be!

wow, there’s the possibility of getting something for free, and already there are ..well.. lots of replies. I think the teapot unboxing was already presented half a year ago, and I doubt there were that many responses back then

but indeed, it’s a really pretty thingy. though I find the view from that terrace even more delighting…

now you got me posting too…

-helm

That’s so beautiful!

may i have a sorapot of tea, guv’nor!

i officially need this. yes!

I drink tea daily!

As my fiancé is a British web designer, tea and design have become exponentially more important in my life. This pot satisfies both of those needs and would make a stunning Christmas gift. I hereby throw my hat into the ring!

This had better come to the UK, nobody in the USA can make a decent cup of tea!

I

neat teapot!

I’m in a musical version of Alice in Wonderland right now that opens in a few days, and this post made me think of a line in it “It’s almost tea time!” Yes, I know, not very exciting, but nostalgic.

I am obsessed with tea. In fact I have a cup of loose leaf jasmine nearly every morning. Of all the tea kettles and special difussers I have collected through the years, that is by far the most creative and beautiful one I have ever seen.

Sweet kettle for sweet tea! I have always thought being able to see the tea soaking into the water was the coolest part. I sometimes use my old Pom tea containers to brew in so I can watch it.

Oh my goodness that is the most beautiful teapot I’ve ever seen… and we’re in the market for one too!

One of the designs that got me subscribing to NotCot (rather than dropping in every now and then to see what was new). Wonderful and I… *ahem* … ANYONE would be lucky to have it…

I don’t know… It’s not exactly a “pot” is it? Maybe it should have been called a Sortapot. It’s more like a tube. like a pipe bomb. Ooh! a tea bomb. Launch one of those at the Brits!!! Honestly though it’s frickin gorgeous! Great packaging too.

Please? I could be the envy of all my tea drinking/NOTCOTing compadres!

I dream of tea and sorapots.

these are so cool! i want one!

I love it! How nice would it be to win one!

I better win because I can’t afford to buy it.

tea

ohhhhhhh i love it

Waking up to the whistle of this windowed teapot would be wonderful. What do you say while i wish?

My fiance would love this. *crosses fingers*

i’m a little teapot short and long

you might be able to use me as a bong

i can brew your tea up nice and strong

with christina i belong!

This is tea-riffic.

I’m sorry.

D:

Seriously though, it’s a brilliantly radnormous design!

I’m in college, the basic design of college doesn’t really allow one to have many pretty things besides kitschy posters that reference old movies that no one has really ever seen but everyone’s too proud to admit because that would decrease their hipster status. Let me indulge in a luxurious tea break while my next door neighbor blares Jack Johnson, who has apparently become the voice of my generation’s college students and of future bohemian bourgeois everywhere. The fact that I’ve managed to inject some wit into the comment section of a website should give me a few points (at least I hope I came off as being witty, you know us college students all scoffing at the elite nature of publications like The New Yorker while secretly hoping they might hire us one day).

It’s the most beautiful and delicious portable tea aquarium ever. Simply a perfect experience, from packaging to pour.

i love tea and i love this pot!

Gorgeous! Can’t think of a better way to watch jasmine pearls unwind…

tea me, pls

Wow this is the coolest looking teapot on the market!

i know just who i’d give it to, if i didn’t keep it myself..

I really hope I win this, a good friend of mine will be opening a cafe soon and I will be helping him and it would be great to brew up tea in one of these.

In the true spirit of the holidays… from the very first time i saw this i thought of my mom. She is an avid tpot collector and a design nut. I have since followed in her footsteps and would love to be able to give back to her for everything she has given me. This is an amazing product as everyone has mentioned. It isn’t just about the actual product but the entire thought process that went into making the experience. Well designed, well packaged… just brilliant!!!

If I win this teapot I would give it to my girlfriend, she would love it!

If I win I promise only to buy loose leaf tea and make sure to have at lease three types on hand at all times.

my two lady roommates drink more tea than moby and all of his friends. they’d seriously flip over one of these!

I have always enjoyed the tranquility that the ritual of preparing a cup of tea provides. Having spent several years researching, designing and throwing ceramic teapots, I have to say that the aesthetic of this one…it’s definitely one of the coolest teapots I’ve ever seen, although the use of transparent material gives it a bit of an advantage. Something about the utter simplicity of it; the integration of a lid and handle into the shape of the whole piece…just nice. At 200 bucks a pop, though, I’ll be sticking to ceramic for a while.

Cheers,

Spencer

Now I bet *that* cool teapot would help me make better tea! ;^)

Beautiful and thoughtful design….right down to the packaging. Absolutely love it, and would love to have it!

*swoon!*

I really need to stop drinking coffee. It’s bad for me. I use a french press; tempered glass in metal structure. This teapot would let me switch to a more healthful morning drink, whilst keeping a materiality I’m comfortable with.

perfect i just got into drinking lots of tea!

this brings tea drinking to the next level. it is simply gorgeous.

Woohoo! My teapot just broke!

This is a pretty sleek teapot. Mmm I want some spiced tea now.

/random

This would be a great gift for my dad, he loves great design and having something he can show off when people are around. And it would be a great way for me to thank him for sending money (he doesn’t have) from Norway to London every month to help his struggling artist daughter. How he puts up with me I don’t know…

Sometimes you just gotta love tea.

How neat! I’d love to enter this contest.

Thanks!

Fantastic packaging! The tea looks like the sunset in the image.

I LOVE TEA! (and tea accessories, and nice packaging, and good design, and kitchen gadgets, and …)

Wow. Just…wow.

My eldest sis and her husband would love this. They went to Japan recently for some fun, and came back with cans and cans of tea. They would definitely love something like this. I figure if I can get one of these, it’s one less hassle for Christmas presents!

Best teapot ever!

I love it! it is so convenience for me to brew tea or coffee with my friend during a party. Looking forward to get one of that

‘rusty’ is my teapot, the one made of clay,

black oolong is his choice, on a rainy day.

‘helga’ is my other pot, only green for her,

a little honey to be sweet, with a spoon to stir.

my teapots may be jealous, but its ok with me,

i will sit and enjoy this pot, with a drink of tea.

Great teapot… and wow that’s a lot of comments!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE the teapot!

I would love to have something like this in my new house…

My friend deserves something this beautiful, great work guys.

Ahh, simplicity. Looking at the teapot may be just as relaxing as consuming the beverage it contains. The teapot is equivalent to well used white space in the print world.

Amazing design, form and function in perfect harmony. Craft and art incredibly blended.

Here’s my comment to win! Thanks!

This teapot is a work of art!

Cool shape!

Sorapot is sorasweet!

This is sweet! Go Notcot!

oh! oh! me! me! (+ hand waving gesture)

Very simple and elegant design…

The box itself is very eco-friendly and the pot is just gorgeous.

I’ve always wanted one! Amazing site by the way.

I would love this!

Loveliest teapot I’ve seen in age. It would be great if it were eventually offered up in an array of materials - I’d love a brass one.

I’ve been following the development of the Sorapot since the very beginning…oh, how I long for one of my very own! I got the chance to play with one in person in a shop and had to physically restrain myself from maxing out the credit card. I drink tea constantly (it’s funny—I drink coffee at work, tea at home), so I’ve rationalized the idea that I would get plenty of use out of the Sorapot…but I’m unable to convince myself to shell out that much cash. Obviously, that wouldn’t be an issue if some kind soul were to *give* me a Sorapot.

Major!

Oh, I am such a sucker for interesting teapots. :swoon:

Love the geometry! Almost don’t want to empty it… almost.

I’m a little tea pot, you can leave me out! I have a shiny metal handle and a shiny metal spout. You can watch my tea brew, and you’ll shout: I want one now without a doubt!!!!!

yes please!!

i need this.

me = tea addict =D

Me me me! Pick me!

mmm tea

we make and drink tea every day at my company. it’s a ritual that the first person in, makes the hot water and gets things going. I actually would want to give this to our group so we could enjoy the ritual even more. well played.

can you still put it on the stove to boil water despite the glass?

I would easily be the envy of my office. This may single me out for the promotion i always wanted!!!!

whoa..it’s…it’s….so pretty. o_o

I’ve loved that teapot ever since I first saw it!

Win! Please!

In for this. been wanting one for a while.

What a wonderful teapot, I certainly would love to own one!!

Wow…what an amazing giveaway - thanks for sharing and posting!

So nice. I want this.

Ohhh, so beautiful!!

super rad!

Lovely, perfect!

Well, it’s a long list of entrants, but a great product, so I’d love to win!

This is definitely the best looking tea pot I have EVER seen.

Mmmm, good design always gives me a tingle!

So many comments…

It’s the most beautiful tea apparatus I have ever seen! I must brew, and consume, and takes lots of photos!

This would suit my tea addiction

Beautiful design. I would just stare at it for a while.

This is just a spectacular teapot. Deserving of the finest tea.

oh, these are wonderful!

oh my goodness! i was JUST eyeing this little beaut the other day after checking out the holiday coupon book you guys put up. i drooled over it for at least 30 minutes, trying to justify it in my budget. hah! it’s a great design for sure.

Ooh. Pretty.

Yay! SORACOT POT!!!!!!

am i still eligible if all i drink is orange soda?

Woah! This is pretty enough that I would want it even if it didn’t brew tea.

That would fit so well in my tea box.

ooo what a gorgeous design….nice simple and unique! and whats more perfect than tea in this cold pa weather than a hot cup of tea!

Awesome piece of work I especially love the packaging design it is all thought out very well.

I don’t even drink tea and I want it. Would make a great gift though.

I bet my orange/cranberry/ginger tea would look amazing in that. And I’m sure it would taste even better than it already does.

I hope to some day have a home designed as well as this teapot. In the meantime, it would be a luxury to share a cup of tea over this pot!

That is quite possibly the coolest thing i have ever seen

Wow. love the design. Would love to have it!

I love the sorapot. I bought one as a gift for a tea loving couple. But, I would love to have my own as well.

man, that is one gorgeous teapot.

I love the box that it is packaged in. Home-made looks are always so catching.

Ooh, that is beautiful. I too am a sucker for well designed packaging experience. (I love that you always show us the “unboxing”)

can’t believe they’re giving this away

What a creative design for a teapot! I love it!

that’s a pretty slick teapot.

That’s a phenomenal design, I’d love one!

Firstly - congrats on an amazing design! Beautiful aesthetics, and I love being able to see the tea leaves - makes it so much more appealing.

I am currently studying graphic design, which lately has been keeping me in front of my computer for atleast 12 hours a day, as I’m sure you are familiar with. This has meant that my classmates and I go through several cups of various teas each day. This inspiring creation would bring a light to our dull computer lab, not to mention make it a lot easier to get work done as we wont be heading to the kitchen every 5 minutes to make a new cuppa.

so lovely! would love to win!

A teapot is a commodity that facilitates one of the most delightful experiences, to see one so serene is all the more pleasant. I had been given a pyrex teapot by my grandmother this summer, the kind that you can brew loose leaf tea in rather effortlessly and expediently, but I let my mother keep it because she really took to it. Now I am left without a proper tea pot, if only someone could extend some holiday benevolence toward me and my predicament…

Tea for two,

and two for tea,

the Serapot,

is quite lovely,

I’ll pour you one,

you’ll pour for me,

then sugar and milk and biscuits, goody

Just don’t despair,

If the tea is old,

The Serapot,

is now on hold,

awaiting on my poetry,

in comment form, for all to see,

so wish I may,

and wish I might,

for a Serapot

and a’ brewing fortnight.

I didn’t know they had actually started making these! I love it!

I Can Has Tea Pot?

Awesome!!!!

finally a sneaky way to serve people ninja turtle ooze. MUAhahaHa

oh my! I love tea, and i love the look of this teapot!

I love mixing my own herbal tea every night, and this is the coolest teapot I’ve ever seen.

Looks pretty cool

That’s a lot of tea!

me.me.me.me.me.me.

it’s so perrty!

makes me want to get those blooming flower teas or my latest obsession…fresh mint & green tea and have a modern mad hatter tea party

1:00 am. eyes half closed. must come up with a cool form for a kettle in my industrial design course. now that’s a sleek design. why couldn’t i think of something like that? i want one!

i love tea. this would be the most beautiful teapot i would ever own.

Rad teapot! My wife and I would love to have that piece sit on our kitchen counter!

If you give me one of these I promise to brew some chamomile tea and slurp it down with Peter Rabbit in my garden.

I love this teapot! My tea would surely taste much much better with a Sorapot! :]

Wow the tea pot is the coolest

It looks like it should be in a space station

Love it. I am so glad you are gifting this someone.

First time I saw this I was amazed by how beautiful it’s

form was and it’s function. Truly Beautiful!

NOTCOT is the best!

oooh I love teapots and this one is so pretty. Yeah for great design

I enjoy tea.

It’s a relief not to have to chew through dozens of tea leaves anymore!

Plus it actually looks kinda fun.

=D

Now that I’m all the way at the bottom of the page after browsing through that whole slew of comments, I’m not sure if I quite remember what I’m doing here. But I suddenly have a strong craving for toasted angel food cake with peanut butter… must go obtain some…

I want one!

boss.

Just beautiful!

Love the teapot, this would be a great surprise for my girlfriend whom I just spent way too much money on tea for.

you know that sound homer simpson makes when he thinks of donuts? i make that sound everytime i see this tea pot. i lust for it in a way that borders on the unhealthy. pyrex, stainless steel, immaculate design, loose tea’s- hummmm-inna hum-innahhh!

….i am not opposed to begging.

Oh wow! Looks like it’s going to be a great holiday season here on NOTCOT! Can’t wait to see what else you’ve got in store for us!

Such a sweet design, I’ve seen this one talked about on NOTCOT quite a few times, so it’s great to see it being offered as a giveaway!

wow!!!!love it love it love it!extremely modern.looks like mine dachshund puppy.good job guys,it’s a great item to give.wish everyone good luck!!!

oh snap- I want one like a fat kid wants cake

You know I hate tea. Absolutely and utterly hate tea. Have never been able to find the upside of it and yet this makes me want to drink tea. Not because I think it’ll suddenly make tea taste great to me, I’m pretty sure I’ll still hate tea, I will drink tea just to have an excuse for having this.

Do sea monkeys live in there?

Absolutely beautiful either way. A great way to watch a cup of tea be born.

I’m smitten over the Sorapot! I posted about this suave example of sustainable style and function here: http://lotushaus.typepad.com/lotushaus/2008/07/the-sorapot-so-hot.html

Sorapot rocks!

tea is the new air.

hello. can anyone see me in this crowd? I love the pot and the packaging!

mmmmmmmmm teeeeeas :9

lustworthy. fantastic. perfect.

It’s gorgeous, and it would be perfect for me. A nearby mall just got a Teavana added to it, and I am without teapot

Sleek and modern, a new design classic - reminds me of Bauhaus style but somehow updated

My little sister is a tea fanatic and this would be awesome to give her as a gift! I know she doesn’t have one of these yet!

me want. my tea pot is old and ugly. this is not.

I just received a bunch of spices for some Ethiopian tea and would love to test them out in the Sorapot!

hi!!

this is anna chua from the phils!!!

THIS IS THE BOMB!!!!! the teapot is really awesome!!!!=)

and oh, i would like to have this teapot for the loves of my life, my DAD AND MOM(who are very much addicted to tea)!! i would love to see sweet smile on their faces every morning using this WONDERFUL TEAPOT.

please? please….

hehe.

thanks!!

not only has this teapot been on my wishlist for over two years, but I met Joey at ICFF and he is as nice as he is talented

i need a new tea pot so badly!

I am a hardened and shameless tea drinker,

who for twenty years diluted his meals with only the infusion of the fascinating plant;

who with his Sorapot will amuse the evening, with his Sorapot will solace the midnight, and with his Sorapot will welcome the morning!

Cheers!

Pardon the nerd-out over a TEAPOT, for a moment.

Alright. Here goes. I work in the specialty coffee industry. Granted, it’s hardly work. It’s a lot of cupping and smelling, slurping and refining of espresso techniques. It’s a lot of time spent with coffee.

Still, I work in a coffee shop that prides itself on its tea— and we hardly take the time to enjoy it!

Coffee may be an art, but tea is a ritual. I would be thrilled to give tea the short, warm, steamy lifetime it so definitely deserves, in a place of love and deliciousness, with the Sorapot.

PS Jean and Joey— not to bribe or anything, but the next time you’re in the Bay Area, Barefoot Coffee Roasters will hook you up- perhaps with a cup of White Snow Buds or Jasmine Green tea, or a Rooibos blend steeped in the Sorapot!
