We Say

Skilfully made at the Iwachu casting works in Japan, this small 0.35 litre cast iron teapot features a hailstone pattern and is hand painted in black. The addition of a removable stainless steel basket (supplied with this teapot) means that the tea can be brewed for the optimal length of time and then removed from the teapot, so that the perfectly brewed tea remains warm without over-extracting and getting bitter.
