As with many Japanese products, high value was placed on achieving simplicity of design, clearly influenced by Zen Buddhism. Elements most sought in design were gracefulness, calmness, rusticity and austere simplicity. Thanks to their perfect design, these iron teapots won't spill a single drop when pouring green tea at a Tea Ceremony (Chanoyu) or at your table.
Cast iron tea pots have been used for centuries because it keeps the tea hot for up to an 1 hr after steeping. This tea pot does not need to be washed with soap, Just rinse out your tea pot with warm water and lay it on the side or upside down to drain and air dry. They are very nice to have and especially if you enjoy a movie or reading a book in bed. Fix your tea in your cast iron, take it and set it up on the night stand and while you read and have nice soothing tea. This is a wonderful way to end a day!
