This beautiful teapot is made from sturdy iron. The body is cast with plum flower design, removable stainless steel tea filter included. Cast Ironware heats evenly and retains heat well and is praised worldwide for their beauty, strength, and superb quality.
Cast iron teapots also known as tetsubin in Japan which were originally created in ancient China. Historically during the mid 17th century, as infused tea drinking became popular in Japan, tetsubin or cast iron teapots evolved from being a kitchen item to being a status symbol used to serve tea.
Most sizes of cast iron teapots are come with a stainless steel mesh infuser for brewing tea. If using the pot to boil water, the infuser should be removed before doing so. The pot has been decorated with a hobnail design in traditional black. Before using to brew tea, boil a pot of water and pour it out to prepare the pot for use.
After each use, make sure that the pot is clean and dry to prevent the formation of rust. Tea should not be left in the pot overnight. In the unlikely event of rust, the pot can still be used. After cleaning the area with a soft brush, boil used teabags or tealeaves. The tannic acid from the tea will react naturally with the iron producing a coating over the area. Store your pot in a cool, dry place or put it on display. These cast iron teapots and kettles have a flat base suitable for Range style Cookers.
