Know before you buy
No, this teapot is not designed for stovetop use. You should boil your water in a separate kettle and then pour it into the teapot to steep your tea.
Hand wash the teapot with warm water and a soft cloth, then dry it thoroughly immediately after use to prevent rust. Avoid using soap, abrasive sponges, or the dishwasher, as these can damage the enamel lining and the exterior finish.
The protective enamel interior is designed to be neutral, ensuring it does not alter or impart any metallic flavor to your tea. It allows you to enjoy the pure profile of your chosen tea leaves.
Yes, the permanent mesh filter is fine enough to handle most loose-leaf teas, from large-leaf oolongs to smaller broken-leaf blends. It is designed to keep your infusion clean and free of sediment.
Cast iron is excellent for heat retention. Because of its density and thickness, this teapot will keep your tea at an ideal drinking temperature significantly longer than glass or ceramic alternatives.
