Know before you buy
No, this teapot is not designed for direct heat. You should boil your water in a separate kettle and pour it into the teapot once it has reached the desired temperature.
To preserve the finish, rinse the teapot with warm water after each use and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid using soap, abrasive sponges, or the dishwasher, as these can damage the cast iron and the gilded finish.
The teapot has a capacity of 0.7 liters, which is equivalent to approximately 3 standard tea cups.
The interior is crafted from durable cast iron, which will naturally develop a unique patina over time as you use it. This is a normal part of the aging process and helps season the pot for your future brews.
Yes, the teapot includes a permanent metal mesh filter that is easily removable, allowing you to clean it separately or remove your tea leaves once the steeping process is complete.
