Technical details
Cast Iron Teapot, 800ml Ready to Pour
This Japanese-style cast iron teapot holds 800ml and features an enamel-coated interior, which means it won't rust and is a breeze to rinse out. The cast iron body retains heat beautifully, keeping your brew warm well past that first cup. It comes with a stainless steel infuser for loose leaf tea. Hand wash only, please - no dishwasher, no stovetop. A solid, no-fuss teapot built to last.
The Real Difference
Your Tea Stays Warm, Start to Finish
You know that feeling when you finally sit down with your cup and it's already gone lukewarm? Cast iron puts an end to that, honey. This teapot holds onto heat like it means it, so your second cup is just as good as your first. It's a small thing, really, but once you've had it, you won't go back. Believe me.
What's Inside
Enamel-Lined Cast Iron, Built to Last
Cast iron is the real deal for heat retention, mind you, and the enamel coating on the inside is what makes this one practical for everyday use. No rust, no fuss, just a quick rinse and you're done. The stainless steel infuser sits right inside for your loose leaf tea. Well now, that's a teapot that's thought of everything, isn't it.
Picture This
Sunday Morning, Loose Leaf, No Rush
You spoon your favorite loose leaf into the infuser, pour in the hot water, and set the lid on. The cast iron starts doing its quiet work right away, holding that warmth while you wander off to find your reading glasses or check on the cat. When you come back, your tea is right there waiting, still perfectly hot. That's the kind of morning worth getting up for.
Day In, Day Out
A Japanese Cast Iron Teapot That Earns Its Spot
Between you and me, the real test of a teapot is whether it earns a permanent spot on your counter. The enamel interior means no lingering flavors from yesterday's chamomile sneaking into today's oolong. Hand washing takes thirty seconds. The 800ml capacity is just right for two generous cups or one very generous one. Let me tell you, this one pulls its weight.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
How much tea does this teapot actually make?
It holds 800ml, which works out to two good-sized cups or one very generous mug. Perfect for a quiet morning for two, or a long solo session with a good book. Not too big, not too small - just right for everyday use.
Will the inside rust over time?
Nope, and that's exactly the point of the enamel coating. The interior is fully lined, so rust isn't something you need to worry about. Just rinse it out after each use and let it dry, and it'll stay in great shape.
Can I use this on the stovetop to heat water?
Hold on now - this one is not for stovetop use. Heat your water separately in a kettle, then pour it into the teapot. It's designed to brew and serve, not to sit on a burner. That's what keeps it looking beautiful for years.
Does it work with loose leaf tea?
It does, and it comes with a stainless steel infuser included. Just spoon your loose leaf in, let it steep, and remove the infuser when you're ready. No need to buy anything extra - it's all there from day one.
Is it dishwasher safe?
It isn't, I'm afraid. Hand wash only for this one. The good news is it really only needs a quick rinse - the enamel interior doesn't hold onto flavors or stains. Thirty seconds under warm water and it's ready for tomorrow.

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.
