Bodum Assam Cast Iron Tea Press, 0.5 l

This unusual and beautiful teapot was inspired by the Japanese tea ceremony with its cast iron creating the relaxed feeling of participating in the tea ceremony’s "purifying bath of the six senses". Cast iron is superb at preserving heat and therefore the consistent quality of the tea within. To create the distinctive Assam bowl shape of the pot, two iron cast parts are fused together. The knob pattern (Arare) decorating the pot always contains the same number of knobs in the first and last row. The inside is lined with smooth, durable enamel to preserve the iron. If treated correctly, this cast iron tea pot will last a lifetime.
