Cast Iron teapots were first created in ancient China. They were later adopted and refined by the Japanese into Tetsubin: graceful, elegant vessels for brewing and serving tea.

Made of specially purified cast iron, the Japanese Cast Iron Teapot Set is symbolic of strength and unity. A coating of black enamel is applied to the inner surfaces of the teapot and teacups to help prevent the development of rust. A removable stainless steel infusing basket is supplied for ease of preparation. Cast iron teapots will brew a marvelous pot of tea and keep it hot for quite some time.

The Japanese Cast Iron Teapot Set includes one 20-ounce tea kettle, two matching teacups, removable stainless steel infusing basket, and one trivet
