Isn't it a beauty, this Japanese cast iron teapot?
Both the teapot and the lid are beautifully decorated with blossom branches in golden, white and green colours. The lid is finished with a beautiful gold-colored bird figure.
The handle is high and finished with rope fittings so that the heat of the hot teapot cannot burn your hands.
This Japanese teapot has a removable stainless steel tea filter in which the loose tea can be put. The inside of the teapot is enamelled to prevent rusting.
The content is 1 litre.
The great advantage of a Japanese cast iron teapot is the fact that the tea stays warm in it for an extra long time.
By following the tips below, you will be able to enjoy your Japanese cast iron teapot for a long time to come:
It is possible that a Japanese cast iron teapot will show rust. This is ok. The teapot can be used normally. If you still want to remove the rust, you can do that by brushing the rust with a soft brush. Then fill the pot with boiling water and add loose tea leaves. Then let it stand for about 20 minutes. Take out the tea and rinse the pot with warm water. Because the tannic acid in the tea reacts to the rust, the rust is naturally sealed and the development of new rust is prevented.

Did you know that tea can also be wonderfully combined with savory foods?
I put it to the test with a delicious piece of old Cantal cheese, brought from the beautiful Auvergne in France. Cantal cheese has a strong taste. Spicy, slightly salty and with full tones in which a creamy, almost vanilla-like hint can be detected. Curious how it tastes in combination with an Oolong from Tanzania?
I know, the real wine purists will find what I'm about to describe a sacrilege... Chardonnay with a purple hue.
A nice summer twist on this white wine. All you need is a few blue ice cubes and Chardonnay. Your friends will be impressed. Curious how to make Chardonnay Violet? Then read on..
Currently one of my favorite tea drinks this summer... Chilled Matcha Latte! Matcha helps to boost your energy and concentration, while also giving you a sense of calm and clarity.
Quick to make and healthy too! Read more about how you can easily make a Chilled Matcha Latte at home.
Do you want to prepare loose leaf tea at home?
That's very simple! To make loose leaf tea you only need a few basic elements. Tea leaves, hot water and something to put your tea in.
However, there are a few things that need some extra attention, such as the temperature of the water and the brewing time of the tea. We've listed it all here for you!
Last week one of our nicest customers, Chloe, came by for a pleasant conversation at our tea table.
Chloe started a podcast last year where she interviews people who play a role in her life. Today it was my turn and I was allowed to elaborate for more than half an hour about one of my great passions ... tea. Follow our conversation on Spotify!
I think every parent encounters this at some point. Isn't there a better alternative to lemonade or fruit juice for your kids? Even the healthy drinks are often still full of sugars and artificial additives. Tasty, but not really healthy. Offering only water is not always an option either. As a mother of two young daughters, I was always faced with this dilemma. Fortunately, as the owner of a tea shop, the solution was close at hand!
