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

Authentic Nanbu Tekki | Handcrafted Turquoise Cast Iron Teapot
A stunning fusion of ancient metalwork and contemporary color. This Made-in-Japan Nanbu (Nambu) Tekki teapot is a masterclass in ironwork from the legendary Iwate region. Finished in a vibrant Blue Turquoise, this 300 ml (10.1 oz) pot is perfectly proportioned for an intimate two-cup service. The heavy cast iron construction provides unrivaled heat retention, while the high-grade enamel lining ensures your tea remains pure, flavor-focused, and protected from rust.

- Legendary Durability: Nanbu Tekki is Japan’s most prestigious ironware, celebrated for a "wabi-sabi" aesthetic that grows more beautiful with careful age.
- Precision Infusion: Includes a removable stainless steel mesh basket designed to sit deep in the pot, allowing leaves to expand fully even in smaller 300ml batches.
- Thermal Mass: Unlike thin ceramic, the thick iron walls act as a heat reservoir, keeping your tea at the ideal sipping temperature for the duration of your tea time.
- Drip-Free Design: Hand-finished spout ensures a graceful, controlled pour for a mess-free tea ceremony.
Steeping Pot Only: DO NOT use on a stovetop, open flame, or microwave.
Direct high heat will crack the internal enamel coating. Hand wash only with warm water—strictly no detergents, soaps, or salts. To maintain the turquoise luster, wipe the exterior with a dry cloth while the pot is still warm, and ensure it is bone-dry before storage.
