Technical details
Green Cast Iron Teapot, 1.2L
This Japanese-style cast iron teapot holds 1.2 liters and features a green enameled interior that protects the iron and keeps your tea tasting clean. The enamel coating means it is not designed to be used directly on a stovetop - it is a brewing and serving teapot, not a kettle. It comes with a stainless steel infuser basket for loose leaf tea. Hand wash only; do not put it in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly after each use to keep it in good shape.
The Real Difference
Your Tea Stays Hot, Start to Finish
Cast iron holds heat like nothing else, honey. You pour your first cup, you chat a little, you wander back for a second - and it is still warm. No rushing, no reheating, no sad lukewarm sip. That is what a cast iron teapot does for your morning ritual. It slows things down just enough to make the whole thing feel like a treat, not a chore.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Can I put this cast iron teapot directly on the stovetop to heat water?
No, dear - and this is important. The green enamel interior means it is not stovetop safe. Heat your water separately in a kettle, then pour it into the teapot for brewing. Think of it as a brewing and serving pot, not a kettle. Treat it right and it will last you a good long while.
How much tea does the 1.2L teapot actually make?
Well now, 1.2 liters gets you roughly four to five cups depending on your mug size. Plenty for a quiet morning alone or a small gathering around the table. Not a crowd-sized pot, but honestly that is part of its charm - it keeps things cozy and intentional.
Does it come with an infuser for loose leaf tea?
It does, believe me - I would not leave you without one. The teapot includes a stainless steel infuser basket so you can brew loose leaf tea right inside. No need to buy anything extra. Just fill it, steep, and pour.
How do I take care of a cast iron teapot with an enamel interior?
Hand wash only - no dishwasher, ever. Rinse it out after each use and dry it thoroughly before putting it away. The enamel interior makes upkeep easier than a traditional uncoated cast iron pot, but a little care goes a long way. Mind you, a well-kept cast iron teapot can last for years.
Is this teapot heavy to pour from?
Cast iron does have some weight to it, I will be honest with you. A full 1.2L pot is noticeably heavier than a glass or ceramic teapot. Most people find it perfectly manageable, but if you have wrist or grip concerns, that is worth keeping in mind before you buy.

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.

Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
