Technical details
Cast Iron Teapot with Infuser, 800 ml
This Japanese-style cast iron teapot holds 800 ml and comes with a stainless steel infuser, so you can brew loose leaf tea right in the pot. The interior is enamel-coated, which means it won't rust and doesn't need seasoning like bare cast iron. The exterior features a sakura blossom design. Hand wash only, not for stovetop use. A solid, everyday teapot built to hold heat and look beautiful doing it.
The Real Difference
Your Tea Stays Hot. Actually Hot.
Cast iron holds heat like nothing else, honey. You pour your first cup, you chat, you wander off to find your reading glasses, and when you come back? Still warm. That is the quiet magic of a cast iron teapot. No rushing, no microwave rescue missions. Just your tea, at the right temperature, waiting patiently for you. Let me tell you, once you try it, going back feels like a step in the wrong direction.
What You're Getting
A Cast Iron Teapot Built to Last
The enamel-coated interior is a detail worth appreciating, mind you. It means no rust, no metallic taste sneaking into your brew, and no complicated break-in ritual. The stainless steel infuser sits right inside, ready for your loose leaf tea. The sakura design on the outside is delicate and pretty without being fussy. At 800 ml, it brews enough for two good cups, or one very generous one. Between you and me, that is usually the right answer.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Can I use this cast iron teapot directly on the stovetop?
No, dear, this one is not for the stovetop. The enamel-coated interior makes it a brewing teapot, not a cooking vessel. Heat your water separately in a kettle, then pour it in. That is the proper way to use it, and it keeps the enamel in good shape for years.
How much tea does the 800 ml teapot actually make?
800 ml is roughly two generous mugs, or three smaller teacups. It is a lovely size for a quiet morning for two, or a solo session where you know you will want a second cup. Well now, most of us do.
Does it come with an infuser for loose leaf tea?
It does, hold on now, that is one of the best parts. A stainless steel infuser is included, so you can brew loose leaf tea right away without buying anything extra. No tea bags required, which believe me, your tea will thank you for.
Will the inside of the teapot rust?
No. The interior is enamel-coated, which protects the cast iron from moisture and prevents rust. You do not need to season it or do anything special. Just hand wash it gently and dry it, and it will stay in fine shape.
How do I clean and care for this cast iron teapot?
Hand wash only, no dishwasher. Rinse it with warm water after each use, dry it well, and that is really all there is to it. The enamel interior makes cleaning easy. No scrubbing, no soaking, no fuss. Simple care for something you will use every single day.

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.
