2024 Tetsubin Cast Iron Teapot

Tetsubin are Japanese cast iron kettles equipped with a top handle, a lid, and a pouring spout. They are used for boiling hot water, especially for making tea. The name tetsubin (鉄瓶) literally means iron pot.

Cast iron is believed to enrich and improve the taste of boiled water. As Japanese teas are refined and delicate, the tea's after-taste becomes sweeter and rounder when the water is boiled in a cast iron kettle. In addition, thanks to the iron content of the tetsubin, the tea water provides further health benefits.

Teapot measures 7.5" 2024 with handle up and 6" with lid. 6" wide.

Excellent condition!
