Know before you buy
No, this teapot is not stovetop safe. You should boil your water separately in a kettle and then pour it into the teapot to steep your tea.

No, the protective enamel coating is neutral and food-safe. It prevents the tea from coming into direct contact with the cast iron, ensuring your tea maintains its pure flavor without any metallic aftertaste.
This teapot has a capacity of 40 ounces, which translates to approximately 5 standard cups of tea.
Yes, the permanent mesh filter is removable, making it easy to clean and allowing you to control the steeping time of your tea leaves.
