Technical details
Cast Iron Teapot, 1200 ml
The Golden Crab Cast Iron Teapot holds 1200 ml and is crafted from cast iron, a material known for retaining heat beautifully. It comes with a stainless steel infuser basket, so you can brew loose-leaf tea right in the pot. The interior is enameled, which means no seasoning needed and easy rinsing. Hand wash only, no dishwasher. Not suitable for stovetop use. The golden crab design adds a decorative touch that makes it as lovely to look at as it is to use.
The Benefit
Your Tea Stays Hot, You Stay Cozy
Well now, let me tell you something about cast iron teapots: once they're hot, they hold onto that heat like a grandmother holds onto a good recipe. You pour your cup, you wander off to find your book, and when you come back, the pot is still warm and waiting. No rushing, no reheating, no lukewarm disappointment. Just a proper cup of tea, on your own sweet time.
Why This Teapot
Cast Iron Built to Last, Inside and Out
The enameled interior means you skip the seasoning fuss entirely, honey. Just rinse, dry, and you're done. The stainless steel infuser basket sits right inside, ready for your favorite loose-leaf blend. And that golden crab? Between you and me, it turns a simple tea moment into something you actually want to show off. Mind you, hand wash only and keep it off the stovetop, and this pot will outlast a good many trends.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Can I use this cast iron teapot on the stovetop?
Hold on now, this one is not for the stovetop. It's designed for brewing only, so heat your water separately in a kettle, then pour it in. The cast iron will take it from there and keep everything warm for a good long while.
How much tea does the 1200 ml teapot make?
At 1200 ml, you're looking at roughly four to five generous cups in one brew. Perfect for a slow morning, a quiet afternoon with a friend, or just keeping your cup topped up without running back to the kitchen every twenty minutes.
Does it come with an infuser for loose-leaf tea?
It does, dear. A stainless steel infuser basket is included right in the box. Load it up with your loose-leaf tea, set it inside the pot, pour in your hot water, and let it steep. Simple as that, no extra gadgets needed.
Is the interior enameled, and does it need seasoning?
Yes, the interior is enameled, which is genuinely good news. No seasoning, no special prep, no fuss. Just hand wash it before the first use, dry it well, and you're ready to brew. Believe me, that little detail makes a real difference day to day.
Can I put this cast iron teapot in the dishwasher?
I'm afraid not, sweetheart. Hand wash only for this one. A gentle rinse with warm water and a soft cloth is all it needs. Skip the soap if you can, and always dry it thoroughly before putting it away. Treat it kindly and it'll be around for years.

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.
