The benefit
Your tea stays hot, start to finish
Cast iron holds heat like nothing else, honey. You pour your first cup, you chat, you get distracted by the cat, and when you come back for a second cup it is still warm. No rushing, no reheating, no sad lukewarm sips. That is what a good cast iron teapot does for your morning, and believe me, once you know it you cannot go back.
Product details
A cast iron teapot built to last
The body is solid cast iron with a vintage textured finish that looks like it has always belonged on your stovetop. The interior is enamel-coated, so there is no seasoning ritual, no rust fuss, just rinse and go. The stainless steel infuser basket sits right inside, ready for your loose-leaf. And yes, it works on induction. Mind you, it works on everything else too.
In use
From stovetop to table in one move
You fill it, you set it right on the induction burner, and when it is ready you bring the whole teapot to the table. No transferring, no extra steps. Drop your loose-leaf into the infuser, let it steep, pour. It holds 1.2 liters, which is generous enough for two or three cups without a refill. Well now, that is a proper tea moment right there.
Everyday proof
The induction teapot that earns its spot
A lot of pretty teapots cannot go on the stove, let me tell you. This one can, and that changes everything. No kettle, no transfer, one less thing to wash. The enamel interior means you just rinse it out after use, hand wash only, nothing complicated. Between you and me, a teapot you actually use every single day is worth ten decorative ones sitting in the cabinet.
What you get
Everything in the box, no surprises
Your order includes the cast iron teapot itself and a stainless steel infuser basket. That is your complete loose-leaf setup, ready to go from day one. Hold on now, just remember it is hand wash only and not dishwasher safe, so treat it gently and it will stick around for a very long time. No extra accessories needed, no hunting for a separate infuser.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
Does this cast iron teapot really work on induction cooktops?
Yes, it does. Cast iron is naturally induction-compatible, so you can heat it directly on your induction burner without any adapter. It also works on gas, electric, and other heat sources, which makes it a genuinely versatile teapot for any kitchen setup.
How much tea does the 1.2L teapot hold?
At 1.2 liters, it comfortably serves two to three generous cups in one go. It is a good size for a solo morning ritual with refills, or for sharing a pot with someone. Not so large it feels unwieldy, not so small you are constantly refilling.
Do I need to season the interior before using it?
No seasoning needed, dear. The interior is enamel-coated, which protects the cast iron and means you can use it straight away. Just give it a rinse before the first brew and you are good to go. That enamel coating also makes cleanup much simpler.
Can I put this teapot in the dishwasher?
No, hand wash only on this one. The dishwasher would be too harsh on both the cast iron and the enamel coating over time. A gentle rinse with warm water after each use is really all it needs, and it will stay in good shape for years.
Does a loose-leaf infuser come included?
Yes, a stainless steel infuser basket is included in the box. You do not need to buy anything separately to brew loose-leaf tea right away. Just fill the infuser, set it inside the pot, steep, and pour. Simple as that.

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.

Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
