Technical details
Black Cast Iron Teapot, 950ml
This Japanese-style cast iron teapot holds 950ml and is built for brewing loose-leaf tea. The pot itself is cast iron with an enamel-coated interior, which protects it from rust and makes it easier to rinse out. It comes with a stainless steel infuser basket for loose leaf. Not designed for stovetop use - heat water separately and pour it in. Hand wash only. The set includes the teapot, lid, and infuser.
The Benefit
Your Tea Ritual, Finally Worth Savoring
There is something about pouring from a cast iron teapot that slows the whole morning down, in the best possible way. This one holds enough for two generous cups, maybe three if you are not too greedy. It keeps your brew warm while you sit, breathe, and actually enjoy it. Believe me, once you have had that, a paper cup feels like a small tragedy.
What It's Made Of
Cast Iron Built to Last Generations
The body is solid cast iron, finished in matte black, and the inside is coated with enamel so you are not fighting rust after every wash. The stainless steel infuser basket sits right inside and catches every last bit of loose leaf. The lid fits snugly. Mind you, this is not a stovetop pot, so heat your water in a kettle first, then pour it in. That is all there is to it.
Picture This
Sunday Morning, Loose Leaf, No Rush
You spoon your favorite oolong into the infuser, pour your just-off-the-boil water over it, set the lid on, and wait. The cast iron holds the heat beautifully while you wander back to the couch with a book. When you pour, it comes out smooth and steady. That deep black teapot sitting on your table looks like it has always belonged there, and well now, maybe it has.
Day-to-Day Reality
Easy to Use, Easier to Love
The 950ml size is the sweet spot, let me tell you. Big enough for a proper pot of tea, small enough that nothing goes cold and forgotten. The enamel lining means rinsing it out takes about thirty seconds. The infuser lifts right out, you tap out the leaves, rinse, done. Between you and me, the hardest part of the whole thing is deciding which tea to brew first.
FAQ
Questions About This Cast Iron Teapot
Can I use this cast iron teapot on the stovetop?
No, honey, this one is not designed for direct heat. Heat your water in a kettle first, then pour it into the teapot. It will keep your brew warm beautifully without ever going near a burner.
How much tea does the 950ml teapot actually hold?
950ml is roughly two to three generous cups depending on how you pour. It is a solid amount for a solo morning ritual or a quiet tea moment shared with one other person.
Does it come with an infuser for loose leaf tea?
It does. A stainless steel infuser basket is included in the box along with the teapot and lid. You are all set for loose leaf right out of the box, no extra purchases needed.
Will the inside of the cast iron teapot rust?
The interior is coated with enamel, which protects the cast iron from rust. That is exactly why you hand wash it and let it dry properly rather than soaking it. Treat it kindly and it will last a long time.
Can I put this teapot in the dishwasher?
Hand wash only, dear. A quick rinse with warm water is really all it needs. The dishwasher would be too harsh on the enamel lining and the cast iron over time, so keep it simple and wash it by hand.

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.
