Technical details
Cast Iron Teapot, 1.2 Liter Capacity
This hand-painted enamel cast iron teapot holds 1.2 liters, making it a solid choice for two to three cups in one brew. The interior is enamel-coated, so it won't rust and doesn't need seasoning like bare cast iron. It comes with a stainless steel infuser for loose-leaf tea. Hand wash only, and not suitable for stovetop use. The floral design is painted by hand, so expect small variations from piece to piece.
The Real Difference
Your Morning Tea Deserves This Pot
There is something about pouring from a cast iron teapot that just slows the whole morning down, in the best way. It holds heat beautifully, so your second cup is still warm while you finish the first. And between you and me, a teapot this pretty sitting on your counter is going to make you want to brew more often. That is never a bad thing, honey.
Craft and Quality
Hand-Painted Enamel, Built to Last
Cast iron is the real deal for keeping tea hot, and the enamel lining inside means no rust, no fuss, no seasoning ritual. The floral pattern is painted by hand, mind you, so yours will have its own little personality. The stainless steel infuser sits right inside for loose-leaf brewing. Well now, that is a proper setup. Just hand wash it gently and it will serve you for years.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
How many cups does the 1.2 liter cast iron teapot hold?
It holds 1.2 liters, which works out to roughly two to three generous cups depending on your mug size. Perfect for a quiet morning solo or sharing a pot with a friend. Let me tell you, it is just the right size for most everyday brewing.
Can I use this cast iron teapot on the stovetop?
Hold on now, this one is not made for stovetop use. Heat your water separately in a kettle, then pour it over your leaves in the teapot. The cast iron will keep everything lovely and warm once it is filled, so no worries there.
Does the enamel interior mean I don't have to season it?
Exactly right. The enamel coating on the inside protects against rust and means you skip the whole seasoning process. It is ready to use from day one, which is a genuine relief compared to bare cast iron. Just rinse it out and you are good to go.
Can I brew loose-leaf tea in it?
Yes, and that is honestly the best way to use it. The teapot comes with a stainless steel infuser that sits right inside. Fill it with your loose leaves, pour in your hot water, and let it steep. Simple, practical, and no paper bags in sight.
Will my teapot look exactly like the one in the photos?
Close, but not identical, and that is actually a good thing. The floral design is painted by hand, so there will be small natural variations from piece to piece. Believe me, that is part of the charm. You are getting something genuinely handcrafted, not stamped out of a machine.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
Yes, all our products are guaranteed for 1 year against manufacturing defects, on top of the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
