   Cast Iron Teapot w/ StrainerTetsubin or cast iron pots were first used throughout Japan as kettles to boil water over an open fire and were usually hung above a hearth to also provide heat and humidity in cold weather. * In the mid 19th Century, as infused teas such as Sencha became popular, brewing and serving the tea to friends and family in a Tetsubin also became very popular. *Designs and shapes have since evolved from simple and plain—to detailed and ornate works of art as we know them today. |
