Key Benefits

Purifies and Softens Water:** Crafted using a traditional lost-wax method with high-purity iron, this teapot is designed to create a subtle magnetic field as it heats. This process helps soften the water and adsorb impurities, resulting in a noticeably sweeter, smoother taste that enhances the natural character of your tea.

Exceptional Craftsmanship:** Each teapot is cast from only the first few ladles of the purest molten iron, a meticulous process that ensures superior density and quality. This ancient technique, passed down through generations, yields a vessel far superior to modern, mass-produced alternatives.

Superior Heat Retention:** The thick, dense cast iron construction provides excellent heat retention, keeping your water at the ideal temperature for longer periods and ensuring a consistent and even infusion for every cup.

Unique Artistic Design:** Featuring a distinctive cannon-style spout for a precise pour and a handle wrapped in an artfully gnarled vine, this teapot is a functional work of art. It includes a matching cast iron lid and a beautiful hand-woven anti-scald mat for safe handling and presentation.

How to Use

This teapot is intended for boiling water. It is not recommended for steeping tea leaves directly inside.

1. **First Use (Seasoning):** Before your first use, rinse the inside of the teapot with warm water. Fill it with water, bring to a boil, and discard the water. Repeat this process 3-4 times to prepare the interior surface.

2. **Heating:** Fill the pot up to 80% capacity to prevent boiling over. Heat on a low to medium flame. Suitable for use on gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.

3. **Pouring:** Use the included anti-scald mat or a cloth to handle the hot lid and pot.

Care & Safety

After each use, empty any remaining water from the pot.

While the pot is still warm, wipe the exterior with a dry cloth. Allow the interior to air dry completely with the lid off to prevent rust.

Never use soap, detergents, or abrasive scrubbers on the inside or outside of the teapot, as this can damage the seasoned finish.

Store in a cool, dry place. If rust appears, it can be gently scrubbed away with a soft brush, and the pot can be re-seasoned.
