This Japanese inspired cast iron teapot is ideal for brewing up small batches of loose-leaf tea for yourself or a guest. Iron teapots are not traditionally lightweight as the heaviness of the iron helps to retain heat for extended lengths of time, which are ideal for long brewing and taste. So if you have wrist issues we would suggest you steer clear of this type of make.

This teapot is relatively on the light side (compared to other iron models) at 3.35 pounds and has enamel lining for rust resistance. Reviewers loved this teapot for brewing small batches of tea and being comfortable to use on a daily basis for those who prefer iron construction.
