Cast Iron Teapot: The Teapot No Tea Lover Should Be Without
By EverythingForTea.com
Cast iron teapots, known in Japan as “tetsubin,” are particularly good to prepare tea with.
Cast iron distributes heat evenly, ensuring that the tea leaves steep fully in optimal water temperature. This maximizes flavor and increases the amount of healthy nutrients in the brew.
The other advantage of cast iron teapots is their efficiency in maintaining warm temperatures, which helps keep the tea nice and hot for as long as an hour. Ceramic, glass and clay pots cool down much more rapidly.
