Technical details
Cast Iron Teapot, 500ml White Enamel
This Japanese-style cast iron teapot holds 500ml, making it just right for one generous mug or two small cups. The interior is coated with white enamel, which protects the iron from rust and keeps your tea tasting clean. Cast iron retains heat beautifully, so your brew stays warm longer than in a ceramic or glass pot. Hand wash only, and never put it on a direct heat source - it is a teapot, not a kettle, mind you.
The Benefit
Your Tea Stays Warm, Honey
You know that feeling when you finally sit down with your cup and it is already lukewarm? Well, cast iron puts an end to that. This little teapot holds onto heat like it means it, so your first sip and your last one are both worth savoring. It is a small thing, believe me, but once you have had it, you will not go back.
What Makes It Special
Cast Iron Teapot Built to Last
Cast iron is heavy, yes, but that weight is the whole point. It means quality, it means durability, and it means heat that stays put. The white enamel interior keeps things clean and neutral, so no metallic taste sneaking into your chamomile or your oolong. The Japanese-style design is simple and honest, nothing fussy about it. Between you and me, it looks lovely on a tray too.
Picture This
Morning Tea, Cast Iron Ritual
You put the kettle on, you warm the pot, you measure your leaves. The cast iron teapot sits on the counter looking like it has always been there. You pour, you wait, you wrap both hands around it because it is warm and solid and real. That is your morning, dear. No pods, no fuss, just good tea done properly. Hold on now, that is worth getting up for.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
How many cups does the 500ml cast iron teapot make?
It holds 500ml, which gives you one generous mug or two smaller teacups. Perfect for a solo morning ritual or sharing a quiet moment with someone you like.
Will the cast iron affect the taste of my tea?
Not at all, and that is exactly why the interior is coated with white enamel. It creates a neutral surface so your tea tastes like tea, nothing more, nothing less. No metallic notes, no surprises.
Can I put this teapot on the stovetop to heat water?
No, and this is important. This is a teapot, not a kettle. You heat your water separately and pour it in. Putting it on a direct heat source would damage the enamel interior and the pot itself.
How do I clean and care for this cast iron teapot?
Hand wash only, please. No dishwasher, no harsh scrubbing. Rinse it gently, let it dry fully before putting the lid back on, and it will stay in good shape for a very long time.
Is this teapot good for all types of tea?
Yes. The white enamel interior is neutral and non-reactive, so it works well with any tea you love, whether that is a delicate green, a bold black, an herbal blend, or anything in between.

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.
