Old Dutch cast-iron teapots combine traditional Japanese styling and a modern aesthetic that result in very evocative shapes. Generously sized with a capacity of 38 ounces, the Nobility teapot forms a wide, flat shape, much like an upside-down bowl, balanced by a graceful spout and arching handle. The textured surface, available in a choice of colors, takes on a weathered appearance and displays bas-relief images of bamboo and pine. Perhaps a bit heavier than many teapots, the heft and visual richness lend noble contemplation to the act of making tea.
Iron teapots traditionally used in Japan are known as tetsubin, which were used to boil water as well as brew tea. However, the Nobility teapot is meant just for brewing, not for boiling on a stovetop. Old Dutch uses a specially purified cast iron for its teapots, and coats the insides with black enamel to help prevent rusting. Unlike ceramic teapots, the heavy cast iron retains heat wonderfully and won't chip. After use, the pot is best cared for when rinsed and dried by hand before storing. A stainless-steel infusing basket that hangs from the rim is included to facilitate brewing with loose tea leaves. --Ann Bieri

This review is from: Old Dutch 38-Ounce Cast-Iron Nobility Teapot, Pale Blue (Kitchen)
Hard to beat this Tetsubin teapot on price, size and quality. I needed this 40 ouncer to brew large quantities of tea for family and friends, and am enjoying the convenience of having ths teapot along with a large cast iron warmer to keep a pot of tea handy at all times during the day.

This is a very nice teapot. The heavy weight and cast iron holds the heat well and makes a very nice cup of tea. A good cup of tea is kind of a ritual anyway since you have to pre-heat the teapot with hot water then drain it, put the tea leaves in and fill it with boiling water(or almost boiling for green and white tea.) After you have enjoyed your tea, you have to let the pot cool completely, then rinse and gently clean the pot, the cover, and the infuser with warm water only. I'd recommend buying a tea kettle so you can pre-heat the teapot and then prepare the tea with the minimum of fuss. This pot is pretty enough that my wife will let it sit out on the counter. If she wouldn't or your's won't it might not be worth the effort. If I had to dig it out every time I'd go with teabags but I'd still buy an electric kettle.

I have a couple of the old fashioned pottery teapots that I do love, since I grew up using them in jolly ol' England. However, I love this cast-iron teapot. It makes an absolutely wonderful cup of tea and keeps the tea considerably warmer (if 'seasoned' properly first) than my traditional teapot (even when I use a tea-cozy). To properly season your teapot before brewing your tea (cast-iron or traditional), pour boiling water into an empty teapot, swirl it around and then pour it out. Then add your tea, boiling water, stir, cover and steep. Enjoy!
