Black Antique Coin Design Cast Iron Tetsubin Tea Set -Designed by "Rikyu" -Holds up to approximately 20 Fl. Oz. of Tea! -Inner Surface of the teapot and teacup is coated with black enamel. With proper care, this set shall last over generations. This set includes an Iron Teapot (Kettle), Two Iron Teacups, One Stainless Steel Mesh Tea Strainer, w/Trivet; all inside a tan box making this set an excellent gift. Tetsubin or cast iron pots were first used throughout Japan as kettles to boil water over an open fire and were usually hung above a hearth to also provide heat and humidity in cold weather. In the mid 19th century, as infused teas such as Sencha became popular, brewing and serving the tea to friends and family in a tetsubin also became very popular. Benefits of Cast Iron Cookware: Cast iron ware is a boon for cooks since it heats evenly, retains heat well and lasts forever. It yields important health benefits, too! Iron-deficient diets are all too common these days and foods or liquids cooked in cast iron ware provide significant traces of this essential mineral. Long Term Care and Use (we recommend that you care for your tetsubin by following these guidelines): *Before first use, rinse your teapot several times with boiling water. But no soap! *Use the tetsubin to brew tea, not as a stove-top kettle. *Do not leave tea standing in the tetsubin for a long period of time. Dry both inside and outside of teapot completely 100% before storing or putting away otherwise it will rust. *Do not wash the tetsubin with abrasive pads or use harsh detergents or soaps. Simply rinse it with plain water and wipe it dry after each use. In Japan the natural mineral layer buildup inside a tetsubin is considered to be good for the health and helps to prevent rust from forming inside. *Do not expose your kettle or teapot to salt or oil. By following these guidelines your tetsubin will provide many years of enjoyment!
