Kanbin Teapot

No, the enamel coating is inert and non-porous. It prevents the cast iron from reacting with the tea, ensuring you get a clean, pure taste without any metallic aftertaste.

Hand wash the teapot with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning to prevent any moisture buildup. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or putting it in the dishwasher, as these can damage the enamel finish.

This teapot is designed primarily for serving and steeping tea, not as a kettle for boiling water. We recommend heating your water in a separate kettle and pouring it into the Kanbin to steep your leaves.

The handle is designed for balance and stability, though it is made of cast iron and will conduct heat. Depending on how long the tea has been steeping, you may want to use a cloth or tea towel when handling it.

With dimensions of 4 inches in height and 9 inches in width, this teapot is sized for intimate tea service, typically holding enough for two to three standard cups of tea.
