Our teaware

Which teapot should I choose?

Glass if you like to watch the leaves open, ceramic for everyday black tea, cast iron if you want the pot to stay warm through a second cup. Our brewing guide has more detail.

How do I look after my teaware?

Care notes are on every product page. Our glass teapots are best washed by hand in warm, soapy water; cast iron prefers a rinse in warm water and drying straight away.

Will a cast iron teapot rust?

Uncoated cast iron can show a little rust over time if it isn't dried fully. It's normal and easy to treat: the steps are on each product page. If there's rust when your teapot arrives, get in touch and we'll put it right.

What does “inspired” mean?

Many of our designs are inspired by tea cultures around the world, such as Japanese, Chinese, English or Scandinavian teaware. When a piece is inspired by a tradition, we say so on its product page, along with its materials, capacities and care notes.
