A cast iron pot holds temperature far longer than glass or ceramic, which means the second and third cups from a \u003cstrong\u003e1.5L\u003c\/strong\u003e pot are as hot as the first — the point at which a teapot stops being decorative and starts being genuinely useful for a long afternoon or a table of guests. The \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in strainer net filter\u003c\/strong\u003e holds loose leaves and lifts out, so the brew stops when you want it to rather than continuing until the pot turns bitter. Durable enough to be an everyday pot rather than a special-occasion one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in strainer net\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuperior heat retention\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast iron teapots need \u003cstrong\u003edrying thoroughly\u003c\/strong\u003e after every use — the interior enamel protects against rust, but any exposed iron at a chip will rust if left wet, and that is what ends most cast iron pots. Do not put one in a dishwasher. \u003cstrong\u003eRemove the infuser\u003c\/strong\u003e once the tea reaches the strength you want, since leaves left in keep extracting. A cast iron pot also stays hot to the touch, so use the handle and warn guests. Rinse with hot water rather than detergent, which can leave residue that affects the next brew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst glass, cast iron holds heat for far longer but hides the brew. Against ceramic, it is heavier, more durable and better insulated. For watching blooming tea open, glass is the right choice — cast iron is for keeping tea hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I stop it rusting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDry it thoroughly after every use and never put it in a dishwasher.
