Cast Iron Tea Pot

The Chinese and the Japanese have a long standing tradition of tea making and drinking. A day is not complete without a cast iron tea pot full of a relaxing blend of tea. This tradition has become commonplace anywhere in the world today. Drinking tea has been seen to have health benefits as proven by several studies so that it has become a very popular practice.

In Japan, a cast iron tea pot is known as ‘tetsubin” and is manufactured from durable cast iron. Cast ironwares are good vessels for tea brewing because they heat evenly and retain heat well too. Remember to do your research on these items and don’t make the mistake of purchasing an inexpensive tetsubin simply because it’s cheaper than the others. Such products usually have poor enameling because the quality of the casting is poor as well.
