A moment of calm in your tea afternoon
The Tetsukyusu cast iron teapot brings the tradition of Japanese tea culture into your home. The 1 litre pot features a black enamelled interior and matt black exterior, preserving the original flavour of the tea while looking elegant on the tray.
Why cast iron makes a difference
The cast iron walls distribute heat evenly and keep the tea warm for a long time. Many people notice that the water becomes softer and slightly sweeter, which beautifully reveals the aroma of fine Japanese and Chinese green teas. The fully enamelled inner layer is easy to clean and does not transfer any taste or metallic note.
The comfort of the sisal-wrapped handle
A sisal rope wraps the handle, protecting your hand from the heat and giving a secure grip when pouring. We suggest holding the lid with a finger or briefly lifting it off when filling the cups, so it stays safely in place.
How you will use it
The pot is ideal for loose green tea, white tea or oolong varieties. The included stainless steel mesh filter is fine enough to hold back even the smallest leaf fragments, so your tea reaches the cup clear and without sediment. One litre comfortably serves four to five cups, making it a lovely choice for a couple or a small group of friends.
Care and storage
After use rinse with lukewarm water and a soft brush; please avoid harsh detergents and the dishwasher. Store in a dry, airy place with the lid slightly set aside so the inside can dry completely. Free from chemical additives and lead, it can be your faithful companion for many years. The pot looks lovely on a simple wooden tray or among the pieces of a Japanese style tea ritual, and gives every tea-loving home a character of its own.
