Worldwide, tea is the second most commonly consumed beverage next to water. Because of this, many countries have a widely recognizable, standard teapot. These teapots are made from materials ranging from porcelain to clay to cast iron. However, the Japanese-style teapot is widely renowned for its beauty and strength.

The cast-iron Japanese teapot, or tetsubin, has been around for centuries, and the Japanese have made drinking tea an art form through their meticulous crafting of these flat, angular masterpieces. Compared to porcelain and clay, cast-iron is an extremely effective heat conductor, which keeps the tea inside hotter for longer periods of time. Cast-iron is also more durable than other teapot materials and heats up evenly. The Japanese teapot was traditionally kept over an open fire for most of the day to ensure that hot water was always available, so you do not have to worry too much about being overly cautious with your tetsubin. The cast-iron teapot is long-lasting and will serve all of your tea drinking needs well into the future. You can even abuse a Japanese-style teapot a little, unlike its Victorian, porcelain cousin.
