Technical details
Cast Iron Teapot, 1.2L Gold Bamboo
This Japanese-style cast iron teapot holds 1.2 liters, enough for a generous pot to share or a few solo cups throughout the morning. It features a gold bamboo design on the exterior and comes with a stainless steel infuser basket for loose-leaf tea. Cast iron retains heat beautifully, so your brew stays warm longer. Hand wash only, and keep it dry between uses to protect the interior. Not suitable for stovetop use.
The Real Difference
Your Tea Stays Warm, Longer
You know that feeling when you finally sit down with your cup and it's already gone lukewarm? Cast iron teapots put an end to that, honey. The material holds heat in a way ceramic and glass simply don't. Pour yourself a cup, go answer the door, come back, and your tea is still right where you left it, warm and waiting. That alone changes your whole morning.
What You're Getting
A Cast Iron Teapot Built to Last
The gold bamboo design is the kind of thing you leave out on the counter on purpose, because it looks that good. Inside, the stainless steel infuser basket means you can brew loose-leaf tea without fuss, no separate strainer to hunt down. At 1.2 liters, it's the right size for two people or one person who takes their tea seriously. Mind you, hand wash only and dry it well, and this pot will outlast a lot of things in your kitchen.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
How many cups does the 1.2L cast iron teapot make?
At 1.2 liters, you're looking at roughly four standard teacups per pot, give or take depending on how generous you pour. It's a lovely size for sharing with a friend or for keeping yourself well supplied through a slow morning without having to get up and brew again.
Can I use this cast iron teapot on the stovetop?
No, dear, this one is not stovetop safe. You'll want to heat your water separately in a kettle, then pour it over your leaves in the teapot. That's the proper way to do it with a cast iron teapot like this one anyway, and it keeps the pot in good shape for years.
Does it come with an infuser for loose-leaf tea?
It does, and that's one of the things I like best about it. The stainless steel infuser basket sits right inside the pot, so you can brew loose-leaf tea without any extra equipment. Just fill it, steep, and remove. Simple as that.
How do I take care of a cast iron teapot?
Hand wash only, no dishwasher. After each use, rinse it out and dry it thoroughly before putting it away. Between you and me, a little extra care here goes a long way. Cast iron can rust if it sits wet, so just make drying it part of your routine and it'll serve you beautifully.
Is this cast iron teapot good for all types of tea?
Well now, the stainless steel infuser makes it perfectly suited for loose-leaf teas of all kinds, green, black, oolong, herbal, you name it. The cast iron keeps the temperature steady while your tea steeps, which is genuinely helpful. Just remember to heat your water to the right temperature for your tea before pouring.

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.
