Good product but long wait time for delivery to US. Because of wrenches thrown into trade wheels by Trump administration, my order was held in custom clearance stage for weeks. Akazuki was awesome. They replied my message and the item was well packaged. Top notch Japanese item and customer service.
Thank you

A charming fusion of strength and softness. This Made-in-Japan cast iron teapot reimagines traditional ironware with a vibrant splash of color. Available in stunning powder blue or blossom pink, it offers a contemporary aesthetic without sacrificing the legendary heat-retention properties of Japanese cast iron. The 700 ml (23.6 oz) capacity is ideal for serving multiple cups, while the premium enamel lining ensures your tea remains untainted by metallic notes and the pot stays protected from oxidation.

- Thermal Excellence: The heavy-walled cast iron construction acts as a thermal reservoir, keeping your tea at a consistent steeping temperature for longer.
- Rust-Proof Enamel Lining: The interior is fired with a durable black enamel glaze, making maintenance effortless and providing a clean, neutral surface for all tea types.
- Removable Mesh Basket: Includes an extra-fine stainless steel infuser basket that provides ample room for tea leaves to expand and release their full aromatic potential.
- Substantial & Balanced: Designed with a sturdy handle and precision-engineered spout for a graceful, drip-free pour.
Steeping Pot Only: DO NOT use over an open flame, stovetop, or in a microwave.
High direct heat will cause the internal enamel to crack. Heat your water separately and pour it into the teapot. Hand wash only with warm water—strictly no detergents, oils, or salt. To maintain the exterior finish, wipe with a soft cloth while the pot is still warm and ensure it is completely dry before storage.
