SERAX Inku - ティーポット 鋳鉄 M

The cast-iron keeps my tea hot for well over an hour, which I didn't expect from something this compact. The matte finish and slightly irregular glaze give it that handmade look I was after. Pours cleanly too, no drips down the spout.

I wasn't sure about the size when I ordered, but at 0.8L it's actually perfect for two generous cups of tea. The matte cast iron finish feels wonderfully weighty and the lid sits snugly, which makes pouring feel deliberate and special. Really pleased with how it elevates a simple afternoon brew.

The cast iron holds heat beautifully, so my tea stays steaming through a long conversation. The low, wide shape with that matte glaze feels almost sculptural on the table, and pouring is mess-free thanks to the snug lid. It's become my favorite weekend ritual.
