Know before you buy
No, this teapot is not stovetop safe. It is designed specifically for steeping and serving tea, so you should use a separate kettle to heat your water before pouring it into the pot.
No, this model does not include an infuser. It is designed for traditional tea preparation where loose leaves are steeped directly in the pot.
The enameled interior is easy to maintain by simply rinsing it with warm water after each use. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the enamel coating, and always ensure the pot is completely dry before storing.
Yes, cast iron is a dense, heavy material, which is what allows it to retain heat so effectively. The side handle is ergonomically designed to help you manage the weight while pouring.
Because cast iron is an excellent thermal conductor, the body of the teapot will become hot when filled with boiling water. Please handle the pot with care and use a coaster or trivet to protect your table surfaces.
