This timeless classic cast iron teapot comes with the contemporary twist of a discreetly concealed infusion basket for perfect brewing dosage & control. You can remove the entire basket once brewing is done, safe in the knowledge that the cast iron will retain the heat of the solution for longer without over extracting the tannins. By keeping a staple temperature for longer, it also means that tea can be brewed at your desired temperature without losing heat during the brew time.
Cast iron teapots are also known for their durability. Unlike other materials that may chip or crack over time, a cast iron teapot is built to withstand daily use and is resistant to wear and tear. This makes them an excellent long-term investment for tea enthusiasts who want a teapot that will stand the test of time. With proper care, these teapots can last for generations, becoming cherished heirlooms that are passed down from one tea lover to another.
There is also a school of though that brewing with a cast iron teapot brings with it some health benefits. The iron material leaches small amounts of iron into the tea, providing a natural source of this essential mineral. Iron is important for the production of red blood cells and the transportation of oxygen throughout the body. By using a cast iron teapot, you can enjoy the health benefits of iron while indulging in your favourite teas.
Traditionally a cast iron tea pot would have been used to heat water before brewing but these days they make for a nice brewing vessel after pre boiling in a kettle to speed up the process. We recommend trying our Japanese Sencha or Japanese Cherry teas for an authentic experience! See below for our top recommendations.
