Tea From Your Unique Iron Teapot
As a functional kitchen item and beautiful accessory to enhance your home décor, the cast iron teapot is a much desired item by tea enthusiasts and cast iron teapot collectors. Because it is made from cast iron, a type of metal which efficiently preserves and absorbs heat, it also brews great tasting tea because of cast irons ability to soak up all tea flavors that have previously been brewed in the pot and enrich other teas which are subsequently brewed in the teapot. In addition, liquids heated in a cast iron teapot will remain hot for several hours, since cast iron is such a retentive type of alloy.
It is believed that cast iron was probably invented in 14th century China and was initially used to construct small statues and weapons such as cannon balls. When the Japanese people began the custom of drinking tea for ceremonies and other events, they adopted the use of the Japanese cast iron teapot-tetsubin-and discovered how well the cast iron teapot was able to brew savory tea leaves as well as retain the heat and the flavor of the tea.
The process in making cast iron is not a quick process, which contributes to the cost of the item. Starting with pig iron, which as to be re-melted, the manufacturers then have to mix scrap iron and small amounts of steel in with the melted pig iron, which is then poured into a mold for the tea pot. The cooling process is what gives the cast iron tea pot its fine quality as a tea brewing implement because if it is not uniformly cooled, the tea pot will have a rough surface and visibly imperfect cast. Contamination is another problem occurring in the process, such as porosity or flaws in the metal, which can produce a defective product.
You can find these antique cast iron teapots for sale today online or in antique stores with prices varying from $100 up to $600, depending on the age and condition of the teapot.
Giving someone the gift of a cast iron tea pot, along with the bamboo utensils necessary to clean it without causing any damage to the interior, would be an impressive offering and would also show the person receiving the gift that you actually took the time to find something artistic, unique and functional. Although you might find a store to purchase a cast iron tea pot in your area, it would be much easier to locate the one you want on the internet. By shopping online at tea pot stores on the internet, you will be able to choose from a variety of reasonably priced tea pots that are decorated with many different colors and details, from delicate flowers to Japanese inscriptions, to vividly drawn dragons.
