The Wonders Of Cast Iron Teapots
Beyond being a great addition to home accentuations, the cast iron teapot is also a good item for any tea enthusiasts or collectors of pots. The teapot is made from cast iron which is a metal that absorbs heat very well and brews amazing tea by soaking up tea flavors that are brewed in the pot. It also enhances other teas that are brewed later in the same pot, lending them a unique flavor through this cast iron teapot. Because it is made from cast iron, a type of metal which efficiently preserves and absorbs heat, it also brews great tasting tea because of cast iron’s ability to soak up all tea flavors that have previously been brewed in the pot and enrich other teas which are subsequently brewed in the teapot .
Any liquids which are heated in cast iron teapot types are often kept hot for hours on end, thanks to the ability of cast iron to keep heat. Cast iron was probably invented in 14th century China and was used at first for small statues and possibly cannon balls. It is believed that cast iron was probably invented in 14th century China and was initially used to construct small statues and weapons such as cannon balls.
The Japanese began to drink tea for ceremonies and later events, which they used cast iron teapots - known as tetsubin - for. This type of practice was good as it allowed them to brew amazing tea through the use of cast iron and it kept in the heat and flavor well.
Cast iron was later implemented in the construction of steam engines during the 19th century industrial revolution occurring in England, which contributed immensely to the transportation of goods and the rise of capitalism. This was also when the cast iron teapot became considered a sign of wealth and status among the upper crust.
Later on people who owned these cast iron teapots would then pass them on to their daughters for marriage gifts and family heirlooms. The custom of passing on teapots like this continued for years and many generations continued it. You may now see antique cast iron teapots online, through auction sites, and priced anywhere from $100 to $600. You can find these antique cast iron teapots for sale today online or in antique stores with prices varying from $100 up to $600, depending on the age and condition of the teapot.
To protect a cast iron teapot, you must clean and store the teapot properly. This includes waiting until the teapot is totally cool before wiping or washing it, at which point it is then safe to clean the pot carefully. Always wait until the pot in no longer warm to the touch before wiping and rinsing the pot.
Do not use dish soap on the cast iron as this could deteriorate the alloy and cause tea or water boiled in it to taste bitter. If you are going to place the teapot on any kind of surface, remember to put a trivet underneath of it in order to prevent scorch marks. Sometimes, but not often, a cast iron teapot will develop a very slight rust residue. This will not harm you, however, if you ingest some of it.
In any case, using a finely-bristled brush will easily remove the rust. In addition, there is a chemical in tea leaves called tannic acid which blends with rust and creates a thin protective film over the cast iron which will virtually eliminate any subsequent appearances of rust. There are actually tea aficionados who say they like the way tea tastes when served from a lightly rusted pot. Today, however, you can purchase modern cast iron teapots which are created with an enamel interior to prevent any possible build-up of rust.

I once had my turtle all over my japanese Teapot! Will i get H.I.V if i drink from it?
HELP! D':
Way more likely you'd get salmonella. Lots quicker than HIV. Just put it in a larger pot and boil it in water for about 10 minutes.
Or wipe it down with a disinfectant and clean it well.
Miyoshi: Authentic slices of Japan (cincinnati)
DINING REVIEW To enter Miyoshi, a Japanese restaurant in Florence, one crosses
a little bridge over a dry-rock garden. That bridge goes a lot farther than
you might think. It takes you from a parking lot in Kentucky surrounded by
chain restaurants to an authentic corner of Japan. Miyoshi isn’t “Japanese”
the way a chain [...]
