Know before you buy
No, this teapot is not stovetop safe. You should heat your water separately in a kettle and pour it into the teapot once it reaches the desired temperature.
The teapot is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish, hand wash the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and dry it immediately to prevent any moisture buildup.
No, the enamel coating is neutral and designed to protect the cast iron while preventing any metallic taste from leaching into your tea. It allows you to switch between different types of tea without lingering flavors.
Yes, the teapot comes with a permanent mesh filter that is effective for most loose-leaf teas. However, for very fine herbal powders or rooibos, you may experience some sediment in your cup.
Cast iron is excellent at heat retention. Because of its insulated design, this teapot will keep your tea at an ideal drinking temperature significantly longer than glass or porcelain alternatives.
