Not intended for use directly on a stovetop or open flame. The teapot is decorative as well as functional, featuring a golden carp motif.
The Benefit
Your Morning Tea, Finally Worth the Moment
There is something about pouring from a cast iron teapot that slows everything down in the best way. This one holds a generous 1200ml, so you brew enough for yourself and whoever wanders into the kitchen. The golden carp design makes it pretty enough to leave on the table. Between you and me, a teapot you actually love to look at gets used every single day.
Why This Teapot
Cast Iron Charm, Enamel Inside and Out
Hold on now, because the enamel lining is a big deal. It means no seasoning, no fussing, just rinse and brew. The cast iron body keeps your tea warm longer than ceramic or glass, mind you, and the stainless steel infuser basket is right there for your loose-leaf. The golden carp motif is hand-detailed and gives this enameled cast iron teapot a character you simply will not find in a plain grocery-store kettle.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Can I use this cast iron teapot directly on the stovetop?
No, dear, and I want to be clear about that. This enameled cast iron teapot is not designed for stovetop or open flame use. Boil your water separately in a kettle, then pour it in. That is all there is to it.
How much tea does the 1200ml teapot actually make?
Well now, 1200ml is roughly four to five generous mugs, depending on your cup size. It is a lovely amount for a quiet morning alone or for sharing with a friend or two without having to brew a second pot right away.
Does the enamel interior need to be seasoned like a cast iron pan?
Not at all, and that is one of the nicest things about it. The enamel coating on the inside means you skip the whole seasoning ritual entirely. Just hand wash it before the first use and you are ready to brew.
Can I put this teapot in the dishwasher?
I would not, sweetheart. This teapot is hand wash only. The dishwasher can damage both the enamel and the finish over time. A quick rinse with warm water is really all it needs between uses.
Does it come with anything to brew loose-leaf tea?
Yes, it does. The Golden Carp teapot includes a stainless steel infuser basket, so you can brew loose-leaf tea straight away without buying anything extra. Just fill it, steep, and pour. Simple as that.

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?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy: if a product does not suit you, email teatime@luluteapot.com and we will make it right.
