Know before you buy
Yes, the interior is lined with enamel. This protective layer prevents the cast iron from rusting and ensures that the flavor of your tea remains pure without any metallic aftertaste.
No, this teapot is designed for steeping tea, not for boiling water on a stovetop. You should heat your water in a separate kettle before pouring it into the ARARE teapot.
To preserve the finish, hand wash the teapot with warm water only and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after use. Avoid using soap, abrasive scrubbers, or the dishwasher, as these can damage the enamel lining and the exterior.
Yes, it includes a removable permanent mesh infuser. This allows you to steep loose-leaf tea directly in the pot and easily remove the leaves once your desired strength is reached.
The ARARE teapot has a capacity of 7 cups, which is approximately 56 ounces. This makes it an ideal size for serving multiple guests or enjoying several cups throughout a long afternoon.
Yes, cast iron is excellent at heat retention. Once you pour hot water into the pre-warmed pot, it will keep your tea at an ideal serving temperature for a significantly longer period than ceramic or glass teapots.
