Technical details
Cast iron teapot, 30 oz capacity
This black cast iron teapot holds 30 ounces and features hand-engraved flower motifs on the exterior. It is designed for brewing loose leaf tea or bagged tea directly in the pot. The interior is enamel-coated, which means it does not require seasoning and is easy to rinse clean. Not suitable for use on a stovetop or open flame. Hand wash only. The teapot comes with a matching lid and an infuser basket for loose leaf tea.
Why you'll love it
Your morning tea, finally worth the ritual
There is something about pouring from a cast iron teapot that just slows everything down, honey. Suddenly your tea is not just a drink, it is a moment. The flower engravings catch the light, the weight feels solid and real in your hands, and you remember why you fell for loose leaf tea in the first place. This is the pot that turns a Tuesday morning into something worth waking up for.
What makes it good
Cast iron teapot built to last and look beautiful
Now, let me tell you what I appreciate here. The enamel-coated interior means no seasoning, no fuss, just rinse and you are done. The flower engravings are not a sticker or a print, they are worked right into the iron. At 30 ounces you have enough for two generous cups, or one very generous one, and I will not judge you either way. The infuser basket is included, so you can get started with loose leaf right out of the box.
FAQ
Your questions, answered honestly
Can I use this cast iron teapot on the stovetop?
No, dear, and I want to be clear on that one. This teapot is not stovetop safe. You heat your water separately in a kettle, then pour it in. The cast iron will hold the heat beautifully once it is filled, so do not worry about your tea going cold on you too quickly.
How much tea does the 30 oz teapot actually make?
Thirty ounces is a generous pour. Think two good-sized mugs, or three smaller teacups if you are sharing. It is a lovely size for a quiet morning for two, or for one person who likes a proper second cup without going back to the kettle.
Does the enamel interior mean I do not have to season it?
Exactly right. The enamel coating on the inside is what sets this apart from uncoated cast iron. No seasoning, no special treatment before first use. Just give it a gentle hand wash and you are ready to brew. Mind you, hand washing only, no dishwasher.
Can I use this teapot for loose leaf tea?
Yes, and that is the beauty of it. The teapot comes with its own infuser basket, so you can use loose leaf tea straight away without buying anything extra. Pop your leaves in the basket, pour your hot water over, and let it steep. Simple as that.
Will the flower engravings fade or wear off over time?
The engravings are worked directly into the cast iron itself, not painted or printed on top. So no, they will not peel or fade. The black finish may develop a little character with time and use, but the design stays put. Between you and me, that is exactly how it should be.

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.

Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
