Product Description
This classical tea set is made from sturdy iron and has an enamel coating on the interior to prevent rusting. Cast ironware heats evenly and retains heat well and is praised worldwide for beauty, strength, and superb quality.
During the mid 19th century, as infused tea drinking became more popular in Japan, tetsubin or iron cast teapot evolved from being a kitchen item to being a status symbol for serving tea. Many nobles cherish their teapots as treasures and are kept in the family for generations.
