The “Xiu” cast iron “Tea for One” tea set in black is the ideal and exceptionally stylish solution for enjoying loose-leaf tea on your own. This set combines traditional Asian design with a practical, space-saving, stackable “all-in-one” design.
Key Specifications and Features
Material: Sturdy, high-quality cast iron, finished with a matte black exterior and fully enamelled on the inside. The enameled interior protects the cast iron from rust and prevents the transfer of unwanted odors, ensuring that the tea retains its pure flavor.
Teapot capacity: 400 ml—the ideal size for brewing two small or one large cup of tea.
Cup capacity: 400 ml – the cup fits perfectly under the teapot and serves as a stable base.
Saucer: The set includes a solid cast iron saucer (trivet) that protects your table from the heat of the hot set.
Key benefits of the set:
Excellent heat retention: Cast iron is known for its ability to accumulate heat. Your tea will therefore stay warm significantly longer than in a standard ceramic or glass teapot.
Smart design: The “Tea for One” system allows you to place the teapot directly on top of the cup. Not only does this look great on the table, but it also saves space during storage.
Long lifespan: Thanks to its solid cast iron construction, this set is virtually indestructible and, with proper care, will serve you for years to come.
Recommended Care: To ensure that the enameled surface and cast iron last as long as possible, follow these basic rules:
Hand wash only: Never put the set in the dishwasher.
Do not use chemicals: Wash only with clean warm water and a soft sponge; do not use steel wool or harsh detergents.
Dry thoroughly: After each use, immediately wipe the set dry with a clean cloth to prevent corrosion on unprotected edges.
Do not use on the stove: The teapot is intended exclusively for brewing and serving tea (by pouring hot water from a kettle); it is not designed for direct heating on a stove or over an open flame.
