Know before you buy
No, this teapot is not designed for direct heat. You should boil your water in a separate kettle and then pour it into the ARARE teapot to steep your tea.
The teapot has a capacity of approximately 24 ounces, which is designed to serve three cups of tea.
The interior is coated with a protective enamel lining, which prevents the cast iron from rusting and makes it easier to clean. However, it is important to hand-wash and dry it thoroughly after each use to maintain its condition.
Simply rinse the teapot with warm water and wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using soap, abrasive sponges, or the dishwasher, as these can damage the enamel finish and the exterior.
Yes, cast iron is excellent at retaining heat. This teapot will keep your tea warm for significantly longer than a standard ceramic or glass teapot.
