This japanese cast iron teapot is perfect for preserving heat and keeping your tea warm. It distributes heat evenly, which helps enhance flavor extraction during the brewing process. Before first use, put a teaspoon of tea into itt and brew for about 10 minutes. A tannin film will cover the interior, which is the reaction of tannin from tea leaves and Fe2+ from the iron teapot, and it will help remove the odor and protect the teapot from rusting. Pour away the water after it is done boiling.
Repeat the process for 2-3 times until the water is clear. After each use, please do not forget to empty the teapot. Take the lid off while drying, and the remaining water will evaporate slowly. Recommended: do not pour over 70% of water capacity into the teapot. Avoid cleaning the teapot with detergent, brush or cleaning instrument.
