What's Inside Matters
Red Enamel Cast Iron Teapot, Built Right
The red enamel coating on the inside is not just pretty, mind you. It protects the iron from rust and keeps flavors clean, so your tea tastes like tea and nothing else. The stainless steel infuser sits right in there for your loose leaf, and the cast iron body does the rest. At 25 oz, it's generous enough for two good cups, or one very long, very peaceful morning.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
How much tea does this teapot actually make?
It holds 25 oz, dear, which is a solid two generous mugs or about four smaller cups. Plenty for a quiet morning alone or a little tea moment shared with someone you like.
Can I use this cast iron teapot on the stovetop?
No, and I mean it, hold on now before you try. This teapot is not stovetop safe. Heat your water separately in a kettle, then pour it in. The cast iron will take it from there and keep everything warm.
Does the inside rust? Do I need to season it?
The red enamel coating on the interior protects the iron, so no seasoning needed and rust is not a concern as long as you hand wash it and dry it well. Between you and me, that enamel lining is the whole reason this one is so easy to live with.
Can I brew loose leaf tea in it?
You sure can. It comes with a stainless steel infuser that sits right inside the pot. Just fill it with your loose leaf, pour in your hot water, and let it steep. Simple as that.
How do I clean and care for this cast iron teapot?
Hand wash only, no dishwasher, no soaking. Rinse it out, dry it gently, and that's really all it asks of you. Treat it kindly and believe me, this little teapot will outlast a good many things in your kitchen.

How can I track my order?

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.
