Add a touch of culture to your tea-making with the beautiful teapot perfect for any discerning tea lover. Cast iron is renowned for its ability to evenly distribute heat for a more flavourful cup of tea, making every hot drink a delicious one. Featuring a mesh infuser insert, this gives you the freedom to brew your favorite loose tea or use tea bags. The traditional hobnail effect and over-arching handle create an elegant addition to any tabletop. To ensure you get the most out of this, rinse out with boiling water, clean, and dry after each use. With roots reaching as far back as the 17th century, the Tetsubin has stood the test of time, and today remains an integral part of the tea lover's kitchen. During the 17th and 18th centuries, cast iron teapots were placed over an open charcoal fire to keep water warm, which was believed to slowly release iron into the water, providing drinkers with a dietary source. This, combined with sophisticated intricate designs, led to huge popularity which remains to this very day.
