Know before you buy
No, this set is designed strictly for serving tea. It should not be placed on a stovetop or any direct heat source, as the enamel lining and decorative finish are not intended for high-heat boiling.
The enamel coating makes the interior rust-resistant and easy to clean, so you do not need to season it like traditional raw cast iron. Simply rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly after each use to maintain the finish.
This is a compact set intended for intimate tea service. It includes two 2 oz teacups, making it ideal for serving one or two people at a time.
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the glossy spring green finish and the integrity of the cast iron, we recommend hand-washing all pieces with a soft cloth and drying them immediately.
The matching hobnail-patterned trivet serves as a protective base for your teapot. It prevents the hot cast iron from damaging your table or countertop surfaces while adding a traditional aesthetic to your tea service.
Yes, the set includes a stainless steel mesh infuser basket that fits perfectly inside the teapot. It is designed to hold loose-leaf tea, allowing for easy steeping and cleanup.
