Japanese Tea Tradition
Cast iron teaware emerged in 17th century Japan, where master craftsmen developed sophisticated casting techniques specifically for tea preparation. These Tetsubin teapots emphasized the relationship between material properties and tea chemistry, revolutionizing the art of tea brewing.
The red exterior coating traditionally symbolized prosperity while serving as practical protection against corrosion, reflecting Japanese aesthetics' blend of form and function.
