Know before you buy
No, this teapot is not designed for stovetop use. You should boil your water separately in a kettle and then pour it into the teapot once the tea leaves are in the infuser.
Simply rinse the teapot with warm water after each use and wipe the exterior dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent rust. Avoid using soap or abrasive scrubbers, as the cast iron will naturally develop a unique patina over time.
Yes, the enamel coating is non-reactive, which means it won't affect the flavor of your tea. This makes it suitable for brewing everything from delicate green teas to robust black teas without any metallic aftertaste.
The GINKGO teapot has a capacity of 24 ounces, which is perfect for serving three standard tea cups.
Yes, the heavy cast iron construction provides exceptional heat retention. It is specifically designed to keep your tea at an ideal serving temperature significantly longer than glass or ceramic teapots.
No, the GINKGO teapot is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is required to preserve the integrity of the enamel lining and the finish of the cast iron.
