The cast iron of this teapot keeps the water hotter for longer, maintaining the ideal temperature even after several minutes.

This cast-iron Chinese teapot is normally used with the stainless steel tea infuser included in the package. This allows you to use your favorite loose tea or blooming tea. This method fully extracts all the subtle, delicate aromas. You can also infuse the leaves of camellia sinensis or whole chrysanthemum flowers. This allows large tea leaves (even whole ones) to steep freely and infuse. Alternatively, you can use a cast-iron kettle to put the tea leaves directly into your cup and pour hot water over them. Thus, everyone will be able to decide on the desired degree of infusion.

To preserve all its qualities, we recommend cleaning your teapot with water only. Don’t hesitate to read our blog article on the care and uses of cast-iron teapots (click HERE).
