Tetsubin Iron Teapots
Japanese cast iron teapots, or tetsubin teapots, evoke the ancient past.
Cast iron teapots became popular in Japan in the 17th century when the
practice of steeping tea leaves (instead of matcha tea powder) became
popular.
The Pine Needle Tetsubine is made in Japan's famous Iwachu foundry and
holds 22 oz of tea. A stainless basket infuser is
included. The Three Friends Tetsubin refers to
the Chinese artistic theme of the three friends of
winter: the
Plum, Bamboo, and Pine.
