The Various Aesthetic And Functional Styles Of Cast Iron Teapots

A cast iron tea pot is sometimes generically termed a ‚Äòtetsubin‚Äô teapot after the classical ironware of Japan. The basic shape of the cast iron teapot can be thought of as a two-part structure consisting of two bowls permanently welded together along their rims. The bowl on top is, of course, inverted. The hole for pouring the water in and dropping the tea ingredients is found at the top bowl and a lid is used to close it. The spout of the cast iron teapot is also found on the top bowl. The handle is typically a stiff arched structure also found on the upper bowl. Given this basic shape of the cast iron tea pot, you encounter many variations designed by the different manufacturers of these teapots.

The upper and lower bowls of the cast iron tea pot may be flattened

There is a type of cast iron tea pot that is flatter than the others. This kind of teapot looks like a flying saucer whose sides taper into a ridge. The rest of the parts; the spout and the handle, are all on the upper portion of the body of the teapot. However, in this design, the spout may be shaped with a vertically oriented base ending in an outward-oriented curve, something like the spouts of Arabian lamps. The funnel of the spout is often rounded. Occasionally you find angular funnels which can be shaped like a square or, occasionally, a triangular tube.

The saucer-shaped cast iron tea pot is designed for brewing tea quickly. The more flat the vessel is, the quicker it is to brew the tea. Residue from the tea will accumulate in greater quantity in the insides of the outer ridge of the vessel and therefore the tea brewed with this type of teapot will acquire more flavor from the previous blends of the tea that were prepared in it. Because of that it is advisable to prepare tea blends whose flavors are compatible in this type of teapot. Otherwise, the flavor of the tea may be spoiled by the flavor of the residues in the vessel.

The globe cast iron tea pot

A cast iron teapot can also be constructed without upper and lower bowls but with a single kettle-like bowl. The handle and the spout are on the body of the teapot itself and a lid closes the mouth of the pot. Just like an iron kettle, this cast iron tea pot will typically have a wider mouth than other types, a fact that makes it appropriate for mixing bulky ingredients into the tea. Consequently, this type of tea kettle is the favorite of those who brew medicinal teas which can contain the bark of trees and the roots of plants. The size of the mouth makes it easier not only to put in the ingredients but also to mix them in order to ensure uniform cooking. For ease of pouring the tea out, the spout of this cast iron tea pot is frequently made straight and almost horizontal in alignment. This prevents the liquid from pouring out of the vessel when the tea is served.

Look for a cast iron tea pot with a strainer

People who use leaves to prepare their tea should avail of a cast iron tea pot that is equipped with a strainer. This make it easy to remove the leaves after the tea is prepared. You won‚Äôt have to serve the leaves to your guests along with their tea or strain the mixture after it has been cooked. You can also partially boil the tea leaves in the strainer if you prefer your tea weak. Just set the leaves aside in a covered container for future use. Of course you can‚Äôt wait too long to re-use them as they may become molded by them.

If you are looking for aesthetic excellence in a cast iron tea pot, you will not be disappointed when you see the rich variety of design and color with which they are made today. The possibilities have been increased by the additional coating of glaze that many teapots have today. The glaze can be painted in diverse patterns and different hues.
