Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Unity Tetsubin Cast Iron Tea Pot red
Customer Review: Tea pot not kettle.
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this teapot for my wife for Christmas and she loves it. The teapot holds heat well, it's pretty and makes a great cup of tea. The only drawback if you want to call it that is you don't use the teapot to boil water. If the teapot boils water it is actually a tea kettle. With a teapot the water is boiled somewhere else and then poured over the tea leaves in a basket in the teapot and steep the tea for 3 to 5 minutes. You then remove the tea leaves and basket and enjoy your tea. All news to me as I thought you boiled the water in the teapot. Darn thing is cast iron and weighs a ton so I thought you could boil water in it - Wrong. Fortunately, she still liked the teapot so it wasn't a deal breaker.
Description of Unity Tetsubin Cast Iron Tea Pot red
48 Oz. Red Cast Iron Mythology TeapotOld Dutch cast-iron teapots combine traditional Japanese styling and a modern aesthetic that result in very evocative shapes. The largest of the line with a capacity of 48 ounces, the Mythology teapot forms a wide, flattened sphere balanced by a graceful spout and arching handle. A fabulous dragon design is cast onto the red, weathered-look surface, giving an air of antiquity. Perhaps a bit heavier than many teapots, the heft and visual splendor might just turn the act of making tea into a flight of fancy.
Iron teapots traditionally used in Japan are known as tetsubin, which were used to boil water as well as brew tea. However, the Mythology teapot is meant only for brewing, not for boiling on a stovetop. Old Dutch uses a specially purified cast iron for its teapots, and coats the insides with black enamel to help prevent rusting. Unlike ceramic teapots, the heavy cast iron retains heat wonderfully and won't chip. After use, the pot is best cared for when rinsed and dried by hand before storing. A stainless-steel infusing basket that hangs from the rim is included to facilitate brewing with loose tea leaves. --Ann Bieri
