Iwachu Cast Iron Teapot

No, this teapot is designed strictly for steeping tea, not for boiling water. You should heat your water in a separate kettle and pour it into the pot once it reaches the desired temperature.

The enamel glaze is inert and non-porous, meaning it will not absorb flavors or impart any metallic taste to your tea. This makes it an excellent choice if you enjoy switching between different types of tea, such as green, black, or herbal blends.

To preserve the finish, hand wash the teapot with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after use. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or putting it in the dishwasher, as these can damage the enamel coating.

Yes, the included stainless steel infuser is spacious enough to allow full-leaf teas to expand properly, which is essential for extracting the full flavor profile of your leaves. It is also removable, making it easy to clean and simple to control your steeping time.

While raw cast iron is prone to rust, this teapot features a protective enamel-glazed interior specifically designed to prevent rusting. As long as you avoid harsh abrasives and ensure the pot is dried completely after each use, it will remain in excellent condition.
