Technical details
Cast iron teapot, 800ml capacity
This Japanese-style cast iron teapot holds 800ml and is built to brew loose-leaf tea the traditional way. The cast iron body retains heat beautifully, keeping your tea warm long after it's steeped. It comes with a stainless steel infuser basket for loose leaf. Hand wash only, no dishwasher. Not intended for use directly on a stovetop. A solid, no-fuss teapot made to last on your countertop for years.
The benefit
Your tea stays warm, naturally
Cast iron holds heat like nothing else, honey. You pour your water, steep your leaves, and that teapot keeps things warm while you actually sit down and enjoy the morning instead of rushing back to the kettle. It changes the whole ritual. No more lukewarm second cup. Just a proper, unhurried brew the way tea was always meant to be.
Why cast iron
A Japanese cast iron teapot built to last
Cast iron is heavy for a reason, mind you. It distributes heat evenly and holds it steady, so your tea steeps at the right temperature all the way through. The stainless steel infuser basket sits right inside, ready for your loose-leaf blend. No paper filters, no fuss. This is a teapot you buy once and keep on your counter for the next twenty years, believe me.
Picture this
Loose-leaf tea, the slow and proper way
You spoon your leaves into the infuser, pour your hot water over, and set the lid on. The cast iron does its quiet work. Five minutes later you lift the lid and that smell alone is worth it. You pour into your favorite mug, settle into your chair, and well now, there is nowhere else you need to be. That is what a good cast iron teapot gives you.
Day after day
The teapot that earns its counter space
Between you and me, most teapots end up in the back of a cabinet after a month. Not this one. The stainless steel infuser rinses clean in seconds, the cast iron body wipes down easily, and it looks good sitting right there on the counter. Hand wash only, hold on now, no shortcuts there, but it takes thirty seconds. Practical, sturdy, and genuinely pretty. That is a rare combination.
What you receive
Everything you need to start brewing
Your order includes the 800ml cast iron teapot and its stainless steel infuser basket. That is all you need to brew loose-leaf tea from day one. No extra accessories to hunt down, no separate purchase required. Just unbox it, give it a quick rinse, and you are ready. Let me tell you, there is something very satisfying about a complete set that actually makes sense right out of the box.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
Can I use this cast iron teapot directly on the stovetop?
No, dear, this one is not meant for direct stovetop use. Heat your water separately in a kettle, then pour it into the teapot. The cast iron will take it from there and keep everything warm for a good long while.
How much tea does the 800ml teapot make?
800ml is roughly three to four generous mugs, which makes it perfect for a solo morning ritual or sharing a pot with someone you actually like. Enough for a proper sit-down, not just a quick splash.
Does it come with an infuser for loose-leaf tea?
Yes, it does. A stainless steel infuser basket is included, so you can brew loose-leaf tea right away without buying anything extra. Just spoon in your leaves, steep, and pour.
Can I put this cast iron teapot in the dishwasher?
Hand wash only, I am afraid. The dishwasher would not be kind to cast iron. A quick rinse and a gentle wipe is all it needs though, and it will stay in beautiful shape for years.
How long does cast iron keep tea warm?
Cast iron retains heat remarkably well compared to ceramic or glass. Your tea will stay genuinely warm for a good stretch after steeping, well now, long enough to pour a second cup without rushing back to the kettle.

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.
