Our cast iron teapots showcase exquisite artisanship that harmoniously blends form and function. Crafted by hand using a rare sand casting technique, steeped in the rich Japanese tradition that has lasted for centuries, each teapot undergoes up to 40 intricate production stages, rendering every piece one-of-a-kind. For optimal upkeep, the teapot must be hand washed and the exterior dried thoroughly after each use. Prior to first use, please ensure the teapot is cleaned thoroughly.

Do not use Ja teapots with feet on stovetops

Clean and dry Ja teapot after each use to prevent surface rust (not a manufacturing defect).

Tip: To achieve optimal results, heat water separately, place tea in the Ja teapot infuser, and pour hot water over the infuser (with leaves) into the teapot for steeping.
