Know before you buy
No, this teapot is designed for steeping tea, not for boiling water. You should heat your water in a separate kettle before pouring it into the KANBIN.
Because the interior is enameled, you can simply rinse it with warm water and wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive sponges, and never put it in the dishwasher.
The enameled interior prevents the tea from coming into direct contact with the cast iron, ensuring that the flavor remains pure and untainted by metallic notes.
The KANBIN teapot has a capacity of 3 cups, making it ideal for intimate tea sessions or individual use throughout the afternoon.
Yes, the teapot comes with a permanent mesh filter designed to contain most tea leaves. It is effective for standard loose-leaf varieties, though very fine dust-like particles may occasionally pass through.
Cast iron is excellent for thermal retention. While the exact duration depends on your room temperature, it will keep your tea at an enjoyable drinking temperature significantly longer than glass or ceramic teapots.
