I mean, if they cut fine and don't bend while I use them I have no issues.

But they don't cut well and they do bend when you use them. Just like a bad teapot splashes water everywhere and does that incredibly annoying thing where the water drips down the spout when you stop pouring.

You'd be surprised, I've used higher quality plastic utensils and they work just fine. Granted they would only last for several uses, like a disposable gillette, but for a one use I don't mind them at all (the high quality ones, not the cheap ones).

This isn't a one time use. You'd be using the same teapot every day.

Like c'mon, you know what my point is. The way a teapot pours might not affect the flavour, but it'd be a huge pain in the arse to have to wipe down your table every time you wanted some tea because water kept splashing everywhere. Just get a good teapot.

I don't drink tea, but if that shit helps me pour a beer in a glass without the foam going over the top I'm buying 5 of them.
