Cast Iron Construction
This 44 fluid ounce (approx. 1.3 Liter) teapot is constructed from heavy cast iron, known for its ability to retain heat. The material ensures even heat distribution during the steeping process, keeping tea warm for extended periods. The exterior features a textured finish characteristic of traditional Japanese Tetsubin designs.
Enameled Interior
The interior of the pot is fully coated with enamel. This rust resistant lining prevents the iron from reacting with the tea, preserving the natural flavor of the leaves. The smooth enamel surface also facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance after use.
Infuser and Pouring
Included with the teapot is a removable fine mesh stainless steel infuser, suitable for brewing loose leaf tea. The spout is designed to minimize drips during pouring. The handle is shaped to provide a secure grip when lifting the full weight of the cast iron vessel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put this on the stove?
It is recommended to use this as a brewing vessel rather than a boiling kettle. Direct high heat can damage the enamel lining. Boil water separately and pour it into the pot.
Will it rust?
The enamel interior protects against rust. However, the exterior and rim should be dried thoroughly after washing to prevent oxidation.
How much tea does it hold?
It holds approximately 44 fluid ounces, which serves about 5 to 6 standard cups.
Does the handle get hot?
Yes, cast iron conducts heat. Use a towel or hot pad when handling the teapot after brewing.
