The Théière Kanbin from Mariage Frères is a cast iron teapot, handcrafted in the tradition of artisanal cast iron made in Japan. Its silhouette is refined, and its colours, from earthy brown to matt rust, extend its mineral character. With us it is available in two different versions: brown and rust.

What does cast iron change for serving?

Cast iron keeps the infusion hot: the tea stays warm in the pot during service. Its heavy walls also give it presence, which makes pouring steady and unhurried. It is a sober object, at home on a contemporary table as in a daily ritual.

How do I use it?

1. Choose your tea, then refer to its product page for the dose, water temperature and steeping time: they vary from one tea to another. Our guide steeping time and temperature helps you set them.
