Between you and me, a teapot only earns its place on the counter if it actually works.

Mind you, it is not for the stovetop, and hand washing keeps it happy. Simple, honest, built to last.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered Honestly
How much tea does this teapot actually hold?
It holds 290ml, which is just about one generous mug or two small cups. Perfect for a solo morning ritual or a quiet moment shared with one other person. Well now, that is exactly the right size for not making more tea than you can drink while it is still warm.
Can I use this cast iron teapot on the stovetop?
No, honey, this one is not stovetop safe. You will want to heat your water separately in a kettle, then pour it over your leaves in the teapot. It is designed for steeping, not for direct heat. That is an important detail to know before you buy, so there you have it.
Does it come with an infuser for loose-leaf tea?
Yes, it does. A stainless steel infuser is included, so you can brew loose-leaf tea right away without hunting for extra accessories. Just fill it, steep, and pour. Believe me, that little infuser makes all the difference for a clean, leaf-free cup.
How do I take care of a cast iron teapot?
Hand wash only, dear. No dishwasher, no soaking, no harsh scrubbing. A gentle rinse and a good dry after each use will keep it in fine shape. Cast iron and water do not always get along long-term, so a little attention goes a long way with this one.
What kind of tea works best in this teapot?
Any loose-leaf tea you love will work beautifully here, since the stainless steel infuser is included and ready to go. Chinese-style teapots like this one are traditionally wonderful with oolong, green, or black teas. That said, you brew what makes you happy. Granny has no objections.

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.
