Technical details
Cast Iron Teapot, Phoenix & Dragon Design
This cast iron teapot features a hand-painted phoenix and dragon design and comes with a stainless steel infuser basket for loose leaf tea. It holds 34 oz (about 1 liter), making it generous enough for a full pot to share. The cast iron construction retains heat well, keeping your tea warm longer than most ceramic or glass options. Hand wash only, no dishwasher. Not for stovetop use. Includes a matching lid and the infuser.
The Real Difference
Your Tea Stays Warm, Longer
You know that feeling when you finally sit down with your cup and it's already gone cold? Cast iron holds heat in a way that ceramic simply cannot, dear. This teapot keeps your brew warm while you actually enjoy it, without rushing. And between you and me, there is something about pouring from a pot this beautiful that makes the whole morning feel a little more like yours.
What It's Made Of
Cast Iron Built to Last Generations
This is a cast iron teapot with an enamel interior, which means no rust worries and no metallic taste sneaking into your tea. The phoenix and dragon design is hand-painted, so each one is just a little bit its own. At 34 oz, it brews enough for two generous cups or four smaller ones. The stainless steel infuser basket sits right inside, ready for your loose leaf. Mind you, this one is for the table, not the stovetop.
Picture This
Sunday Morning, Loose Leaf, No Rush
You spoon your favorite oolong into the infuser, pour the hot water in, and set the lid on. The cast iron starts doing its quiet work right away, holding that warmth close. A few minutes later you pour, and the tea comes out clear and even because the infuser did its job properly. Well now, that is what a slow morning is supposed to feel like. No bags, no fuss, just a good pot of tea.
Everyday Proof
One Pot, Fewer Trips to the Kettle
The 34 oz capacity means you brew once and you are set for a good while, which I find is the whole point of a proper teapot. The infuser pulls out cleanly when steeping is done, so you are not fishing around or over-steeping by accident. Hand washing takes about thirty seconds. Hold on now, I know some of you want to toss everything in the dishwasher, but this one deserves a little more care, and believe me, it gives back.
What You Get
Everything in the Box, No Surprises
Your order arrives with the cast iron teapot, its matching lid, and the stainless steel infuser basket already included. That is everything you need to brew loose leaf tea from day one, no extra purchases required. The phoenix and dragon design comes hand-painted, so take a moment to look it over when it arrives. It is a proper little piece, and it should arrive ready to use after a quick hand wash.
FAQ
Questions About This Cast Iron Teapot
How much tea does this teapot hold?
It holds 34 oz, which is right around 1 liter. That is enough for two large mugs or four smaller cups in one brew, so it works well whether you are making tea just for yourself or sharing with someone.
Can I use this teapot on the stovetop?
No, honey, this one is not for the stovetop. Heat your water separately in a kettle, then pour it into the teapot. It is designed for the table, not the burner, and using it on a heat source could damage the enamel interior.
Does it come with a strainer or infuser for loose leaf tea?
Yes, it does. A stainless steel infuser basket is included in the box along with the teapot and lid. You do not need to buy anything extra to start brewing loose leaf tea right away.
How do I clean and care for this cast iron teapot?
Hand wash only, no dishwasher. The enamel interior makes cleaning straightforward, just warm water and a gentle rinse. Avoid harsh scrubbers that could scratch the enamel, and dry it well before putting it away.
Will the cast iron affect the taste of my tea?
The interior is enamel-coated, which creates a barrier between the cast iron and your tea. That means no metallic taste and no rust concerns. The enamel keeps things neutral so your tea tastes exactly the way it should.

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.
