The Yuan - Noir d'Arromandise is a shiny black cast iron teapot, perfect for those seeking chic classicism. An object of a beautiful quality, enough to make an impression on your guests. 0.8L 18.5 x 10.5 cm / Ø 14 x 2 cm Cast iron was discovered by the Chinese in AD 300. Traditionally, the Chinese consume tea directly from a cup, sprinkling tea leaves on the water, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty that the first teapots developed. The Yuan cast iron teapot is a so-called "memoryless" teapot. It can be used for all teas, because its enamel interior prevents the transfer of aromas into its component. It is recommended to place a dose of tea leaves in the stainless steel filter that you will place in your black Yuan teapot. Pour simmering or temperature water over the tea leaves to release all the aromas, then let infuse and serve Before first use, fill and empty your Yuan teapot with boiling water 2-3 times, then wipe it with a dry cloth. Let the inside dry for 30 min. When cleaning your teapot after use, avoid the use of detergents and abrasive element. Prefer washing in warm water and a soft cloth.
