Blue Dragonfly Cast Iron Tea Set

Item Number: SIJ26

This high quality dragonfly cast iron tea set is the perfect companion for enjoying tea. The dragonfly design symbolizes good fortune. This tea set is made from sturdy iron and has enamel coating on the interior to prevent rusting. Cast ironware heats evenly and retains heat well and is praised worldwide for their beauty, strength, and superb quality. Please note that this cast iron teapot should not be used directly on stovetops to heat water.

During the mid 19th century as infused tea drinking became more popular in Japan, tetsubin or iron cast teapot evolved from being a kitchen item to being a status symbol used to serve tea. Many nobles cherish their teapots as treasures and are kept in the family for generations.

This set includes the following:

1 teapot (approximate capacity: 600 ml or 20.4 fl oz)
2 teacups (approximate dimension: 2 3/4" dia, 2" ht)
1 removable stainless tea filter (approximate dimension: 2 3/4" dia)
1 trivet (approximate dimension: 5 1/2" dia)

The Perfect Serving

This is exactly what we had been searching for. A joy to use and a pleasure to share with friends.

Pretty but not functional

The enameled cups get too hot to hold. If you don't pour hot water into the teapot before making tea, it will cool the tea to the undrinkable point. Even with hot water first, the tea cools faster than a standard porcelain teapot, maybe because the squat shape has a large surface area.

Blue Dragonfly Cast Iron Tea Set

This set was exactly what I hoped it would be. I sit each night after work with a pot of tea sip away the day's stress. I had a friend over to enjoy some tea with me when I first got it. She loved it so much, she has ordered her own set!! It is beautiful, functional and durable...a really great and affordable treasure. I also love that I was able to purchase extra matching cups.
