About this craft
Nambu ironware originates from Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, with over 400 years of casting tradition. The tetsubin (iron teapot) is core to Japanese tea culture. Iron ions released during brewing soften water and enhance flavor — a practice rooted in wabi-sabi aesthetics.
Description
Traditional cast iron teapot that enriches water and flavor naturally
Season with repeated hot water before first use. Always dry thoroughly after brewing. Do not immerse in water or use soap. Light rust inside is normal and desired. A thin mineral patina forms over time, enhancing flavor. Store empty and dry.
