Tetsubin or cast iron pots were first used throughout Japan as kettles to boil water over an open fire and were usually hung above a hearth to also provide heat and humidity in cold weather.  In the mid 19th century, as infused teas such as Sencha became popular, brewing and serving the tea to friends and family also became very popular. Designs and shapes have since evolved from simple to detailed and ornate works of art such as these pots we feature at Zhi Tea.
