Heaven of Tea

“This teapot is beautiful and using it makes me enjoy my tea even more.”

Japanese cast iron teapots, or tetsubin, became popular during the 17th and 18th centuries with the introduction of sencha green tea. Today they are world renowned, not only for making the best tea, but as true works of art, providing an experience for both the soul and palate.

Here, I’ll highlight one cast iron customer favorite with such a devout following it seems truly worthy of a little spotlight.

The Imperial Dragon teapot features a handcrafted five toe’d dragon, symbolizing power, strength and good fortune. With meticulously hand designed cast iron accessories to match, this service is as beautiful as it is efficient. The cast iron’s even heat distribution ensures every sip is filled with the full flavors and benefits of the tea, retaining warmth for several hours.

One customer shares:

“I have the teapot and five cups and saucers. They are beautiful to see and the tea stays hot and delicious. The joy of owning this set gives me great enthusiasm to enjoy my favorite teas more often, and it brings a sense of psycho feng shui to my life.”

Such a special set also makes a memorable gift:

“I bought the Cranberry/Gold tea pot for my boyfriend for Christmas. He is a collector of Chinese Dragons and tea. When the box arrived, I was ecstatic as the tea pot was even more beautiful than I expected. He was absolutely thrilled!”
