Japanese-Style Cast Iron Tetsubin Teapot with Stainless Steel Infuser – Dragon Design, 0.3 L

Brew tea in a quiet, traditional way with our Cast Iron Dragon Teapot. The tetsubin, the Japanese cast iron kettle, became part of tea culture in the 1700s. People valued it because heavy iron holds heat well, and it was beautiful enough to set out for guests. This small teapot carries on that tradition in matte black iron with a raised dragon design. In East Asian art, the dragon stands for strength, wisdom and good fortune.

At 0.3 L, about two small cups, it's made for slow, mindful brewing for yourself or one guest. A removable stainless steel infuser holds loose-leaf tea, so you can lift it out when your tea is ready and keep the next cup from getting bitter. The heavy iron body keeps tea warm between pours, and the curved spout pours smoothly. Set it on a tea tray beside your tea jars, or display it on a shelf. It's a meaningful gift for tea lovers and anyone who appreciates Eastern craftsmanship.
