The iron teapot has a special feature, it maintains its warm heat so it takes a long time to become cold. Therefore it’s easy to make warm delicious tea. That is why I designed the teapot as an easy to use tool to fit with our modern lifestyle. There are two sizes, ‘0.7L’ and ‘1.4L’. Select the one that fits your situation and suits the number of people that will be drinking tea. I use a traditional sandy technique for the surface of the iron teapot and designed the shape of it to be like a tea jar that is used in traditional tea ceremonies. I use enamel on the inside to prevent rust. The spout is handmade to be especially thin so that it is easy to control the pouring and the usage of it.
