More about Cast Iron Teapot

A cast iron teapot has great heat retention properties, enabling the user to keep tea warm for long periods of time. This way, you won’t have to keep reheating the tea once it gets cold. Even if you leave the kettle away from the stove for long periods of time, your tea will still remain warm enough to drink. It is also a great way to serve tea because of its beautiful, elaborate designs.

Because of the excellent craftsmanship of the cast iron teapot, they have been used for four hundred years. It used to be that emperors and royalty was the only people to use this kind of pot. There was even a time when it became a status symbol. Tea connoisseurs always possess at least one iron teapot, as it is considered a classic utensil used in brewing the most delicate and expensive tea leaves. However, these teapots are also used heavily in the kitchens of ordinary consumers who like the simplicity and ease of maintenance of these vessels. Iron teapots have also become a popular collectible item for those who collect antique cast iron teapots and they love these pots because of their classic designs, which include the simple round kettle that most of us think of when we think of cast iron teapots, and very ornate, highly embellished pots that were probably very expensive when they were first produced and most likely, were used by royalty and other people of high social and financial status.

The pebbled black or dark brown surface is the main, unique characteristic of the cast iron kettle or tea pot and is the style that most of us are most familiar with. In the olden days, these utensils used to be a lot bigger and bulkier. However, as time went by, the design became more compact and sleek – and much lighter – after all, they are made of iron and the bigger the tea pot the heavier it is! People tired of kettles weighing five pounds or more and designers accommodated them by creating smaller, lighter versions.

Traditional designs were also limited to those inspired by nature, or abstract designs. Today, you’ll be able to find them in a lot of different designs with a lot of different themes. Most are also coated with enamel on the inside to prevent rust from forming. As we all know, when frequently exposed to moisture (especially water), cast iron tends to rust. This is prevented by a thin layer of enamel coating. Some also come with tea infusers, enabling you to brew tea without having to make a mess. These are a great way to brew, serve and drink tea.
