Product Description
Unity Tetsubin Cast Iron Tea Pot red: Kitchen & Dining. After use, the pot is best cared for when rinsed and dried by hand before storing. Old Dutch cast-iron teapots combine traditional Japanese styling and a modern aesthetic that result in very evocative shapes. The largest of the line with a capacity of 48 ounces, the Mythology teapot forms a wide, flattened sphere balanced by a graceful spout and arching handle. A fabulous dragon design is cast onto the red, weathered-look surface, giving an air of antiquity. Perhaps a bit heavier than many teapots, the heft and visual splendor might just turn the act of making tea into a flight of fancy. Iron teapots traditionally used in Japan are known as tetsubin, which were used to boil water as well as brew tea. However, the Mythology teapot is meant only for brewing, not for boiling on a stovetop. Old Dutch uses a specially purified cast iron for its teapots, and coats the insides with black enamel to help prevent rusting. Unlike ceramic teapots, the heavy cast iron retains heat wonderfully and won't chip. A stainless-steel infusing basket that hangs from the rim is included to facilitate brewing with loose tea leaves.
