Theepot

A teapot is the central vessel for steeping loose leaf tea and pouring it clear of the leaves. This collection covers glass, porcelain and cast iron pots in a range of capacities, from single-cup pots to larger designs for sharing.

Borosilicate glass teapots are heat resistant and show the colour of the infusion as it develops. Many include a removable glass or stainless steel infuser basket for whole leaf tea. Porcelain teapots have a smooth glazed interior that carries no flavour between brews and suits any type of tea. Cast iron teapots follow the Japanese tetsubin form, enamel-coated inside, and retain warmth well once filled.

Choose a capacity to match how you drink: a small pot for solo brewing, a larger one for a table of guests. Look for a wide infuser basket so leaves have room to expand and release their flavour. After use, empty the leaves, rinse with warm water and let the pot dry. Avoid abrasive pads on glazed and glass surfaces, and dry cast iron thoroughly to keep the interior in good condition.
