Teapot
Whether your teapot is cast iron, porcelain or glass, with or without a built-in infuser, it has the power to bring out the very best in your favourite brew. A teapot welcomes all types of tea, from white and green to black and Chinese varieties. It lets your tea steep gently while keeping the water warm. A cast iron teapot can even double as a kettle. Choose the material that speaks to you and suits your ritual.

Why choose a teapot to elevate your tea moments?
In the world of tea, the teapot holds a special place, far beyond its simple function of brewing. It becomes the heart of your ritual, the object that transforms an ordinary pause into a genuine moment of pleasure. Every gesture matters: pouring the water, watching the leaves unfurl, breathing in the aromas that rise. A quality teapot honours these precious instants and brings out the full richness of your favourite tea.
How to choose the right teapot for your habits?
Choosing a teapot comes down, above all, to how you like to enjoy your tea. Each material tells a different story and brings its own qualities to the brew.
The Japanese cast iron teapot: the art of tradition
Heir to an age-old craft, the cast iron teapot captivates with its exceptional ability to retain heat. Its thick walls keep your infusion at the ideal temperature for long minutes, letting you savour each cup as if it were the first. Arare models, with their delicate raised patterns, combine beauty and function in equal measure. Their enamel interior protects the metal and preserves the purity of flavours.
The glass teapot: the poetry of a visible brew
Transparent and contemporary, the glass teapot offers the mesmerising spectacle of the infusion unfolding. Watching the leaves dance in the hot water, seeing the colours deepen gradually... It is the whole art of tea, revealed before your eyes. Especially suited to floral teas or colourful blends, it turns every preparation into a moment of quiet contemplation.
The porcelain and ceramic teapot: timeless elegance
Refined and neutral, the porcelain teapot respects the delicate aromas of your teas perfectly. Its smooth surface retains no residual taste, allowing you to move from one tea to the next without any alteration. Japanese Tokoname models, shaped by hand, carry within them the soul of the craftsperson and the wisdom of tradition.
Explore our teapots by material: the cast iron teapot for keeping tea warm longer, the glass teapot for watching the brew unfold, and the porcelain teapot for its quiet elegance. For a single-serve infusion, take a look at our herbal infusion pots too.
The technical criteria for a perfect infusion
Beyond aesthetics, a few technical details are worth considering to ensure the best possible experience.
The right capacity for your needs
Our selection offers a range of capacities, from 380 ml for intimate tastings to 1200 ml for shared moments. A teapot between 600 and 800 ml is ideal for two to three people, while a smaller model concentrates the aromas beautifully for a solo cup.
The infuser: the key to a well-brewed cup
A quality stainless steel infuser allows the tea leaves to unfurl freely while holding back any fine particles. Removable for easy cleaning, it gives you full control over the strength of your brew. Some models feature a built-in fine-mesh filter in the spout for a more natural filtration.
Caring for your teapot: a gesture of respect
Looking after your teapot means honoring the object that accompanies your moments of calm. Each material calls for its own care: a clear water rinse for cast iron, gentle cleaning for glass, careful drying for ceramic. These simple habits preserve the qualities of your teapot and keep every future infusion pure and true.
Frequently asked questions about teapots
Our customers often ask us about choosing and using teapots. Here are answers to the most common questions.
Can a cast iron teapot be used on a stovetop?
Traditional cast iron teapots are not designed to be heated directly. They are intended solely to retain the heat of water that has already been boiled. Only certain teapots specifically designed for induction cooking can be used on a stovetop.
How do I choose between a teapot with or without a built-in strainer?
It comes down to how you like to brew. A removable infuser gives you more flexibility: you can take it out to let the leaves steep freely, or keep it in to control the infusion. Teapots without a strainer work perfectly well with tea bags or for shorter steeps.
Which teapot is best for someone just starting out with tea?
We recommend starting with a glass teapot of 400 to 600 ml with a removable infuser. It lets you watch the tea unfold as it steeps, develop a feel for brewing times, and get to know different types of tea. Easy to care for and wonderfully versatile, it's the ideal companion for beginners.
How do I preserve the aromas when switching between different types of tea?
Ideally, dedicate each teapot to a particular family of teas: one for delicate green teas, another for full-bodied black teas. If you only have one teapot, a thorough rinse with hot water between uses is enough, especially with porcelain models, which don't hold onto flavours.
