The process of brewing tea can be instant for some but most of us love the process. The process of brewing tea is meditative, soothing, and peaceful. One of the ways to brew tea is in a cast iron teapot. A Cast Iron Teapot is one of the purest ways to brew tea. 

Benefits Of A Cast Iron Teapot

Keeping your tea hot is always a problem. No one likes warm tea. No matter what you try the tea never seems to stay warm long enough. Enter the cast-iron teapot. While that tea in your cup may start to cool off you can easily warm it up with a few drops of hot water from your teapot. Hobnail Cast Iron Teapots stay warmer longer than glass, ceramic, and stainless steel. Cast iron also distributes water better than any other material. This helps steep your leaves evenly. 

Indestructible! You have to really try to destroy one. Neglect would be the one way to destroy a cast iron teapot. Do not let the water remain in the bottom, it will rust your pot. It is not fun to clean the rust from the inside of a Floral Cast Iron Teapot so it is best just not to have it happen. Cast iron is one of the most indestructible products out there. Even when you find a cast iron skillet that looks destroyed, with just a bit of effort you can bring it back to perfection. 

I am not a fan of rust, however, it is perfectly safe. Much Japanese drink rust-tainted water with their tea. That is how they prefer the taste. I am not one of those people. So, if your teapot gets a little bit of rust, do not worry. For me, I prefer mine not to get the rust to begin with. Cleaning Antique Cast Iron Tea Kettle is a bother. Taking care of your teapot will make it last a long time and be durable lasting for generations to come.

Do Cast Iron Teapots Rust?

Yes is the simple answer. It is easy to keep your teapot from rusting. Keep the inside dry between uses and towel dry after cleaning. That alone should be all you need to keep your teapot clean and clear of rust. Hard water, as I have here in my town, also can cause rust to invade your teapot. Therefore, I choose to use filtered water.
