Tetsubin, or cast iron teapots, were first used throughout Japan as kettles to boil water over an open flame and were usually hung above a hearth to also provide heat and humidity in cold weather. In the mid 19th century, as infused teas such as Sencha became popular, brewing and serving the tea to friends and family in a tetsubin also became very popular. Designs and shapes have since evolved from simple and plain to detailed and ornate works of art as we know them today.

Pretty good but could be improved PROS* Easily makes tea for 4 people* Won’t break easily like a ceramic pot* You can go from stovetop to tableCONS* It’s heavy so if you want a lighter tea pot don’t buy this one* It comes with a tea strainer but the basket is just not TALL enough so for it to be useful unless you make a full pot. So it’s kind of pointless if you want to make tea for two people. I had to buy another pot just for that.* The bottom is beginning to rust a little
Teapot It is exactly as described. I wish it had a little more capacity as it does not hold enough for more than 1 or 2 people. The working capacity is about 3 cups. The quality is good.
