Tetsubin Teapots

These are the best way to brew Japanese tea, since the cast iron distributes the heat evenly inside the pot to better extract the flavours and health benefits of the tea. These Japanese teapots are hand-made in Japan out of solid cast iron with a fully enamelled inside and include a stainless steel basket for your tea leaves.  Because iron is released into the water, the water is appreciated as a dietary source of iron and the Japanese believe that the flavour from the tea brewed in the pot is absorbed by the cast iron and helps to flavour tea made in the future.   

Tetsubin teapots make an excellent gift for the tea connoisseur.  Because they are hand-made from cast iron, they can be used and treasured for years.  Why not treat someone special to a unique gift that will only get better and better as the years pass?
