Cast iron teapot, how to prepare it before first use.

1) A cast iron teapot must be prepared before being used for the first time. To do this, put some tea (5 to 10 g) in the cast iron teapot and boil for about 10 minutes.
The tannins will create a film that will coat the inside of the teapot. This reaction between iron and the tannin in the tea leaves is essential to eliminate odors and protect the teapot from rust.

2) Empty the water after boiling. Repeat the operation 2 or 3 times until there is no more odor.

3) Rinse with clear lukewarm water to avoid any thermal shock. The rinse water must be clear before you start using it.

Maintenance: After each use, remember to empty the teapot. Let the teapot drain well on a drainer. Remove the lid during storage so that the water remaining in the pores of the cast iron evaporates slowly.

Recommendations for using a black cast iron teapot.

– It is recommended not to fill the teapot more than 70% of its water capacity.
– Do not use any detergent, brush, or cleaning tool to clean your teapot. Make sure to preserve the noble tannin deposit, as it guarantees the quality of the tea you will prepare. These tannins also contribute to the longevity of your teapot.
