- Tea stays warm longer: Heavy cast iron releases heat slowly, so the pot stays warm at the table.
- No metallic taste: The enamel lining seals the iron away from your tea.
- 34 oz (1 L) pot: A built-in steel strainer lets you steep and pour loose tea in one pot.
- Any stove, then the table: Gas, induction, ceramic or open flame, then straight to the table.
Heavy cast iron under a gold-flecked diamond relief, finished in two colorways, light blue or white. The interior is enamel coated so it never leaches into your brew, the built-in filter sits ready for loose tea, and the folding bail handle stays cool while the body holds heat for the whole pot.

Care & maintenance
Cast iron is nearly indestructible, the enamel interior is less forgiving. Treat it like porcelain.
- Hand wash only: Warm water, mild soap, soft sponge. The enamel chips if you drop it or scrub with steel wool.
- Dry completely: Moisture trapped under the lid corrodes the iron from inside. Disassemble after every use, wipe both halves dry.
- Low to medium heat: Cast iron heats slowly and holds heat long. High flames overheat the enamel and can crack the coating.
- Avoid thermal shock: Never pour cold water into a hot kettle or set a hot kettle on a cold surface, the enamel will crack.
Frequently asked
Can I brew tea directly in the kettle?
Yes. The built-in stainless steel strainer sits at the spout and holds back the leaves as you pour. Drop loose tea in the kettle, add water, bring to temperature, pour clean.
Does it keep the brew hot?
That is the whole point of cast iron. The heavy walls soak up heat and release it slowly, so a full pot stays warm at the table long after it leaves the burner. The folding bail handle stays cool enough to lift and pour.
Does it whistle?
No. Cast iron kettles do not whistle, watch the steam or use a timer. The trade-off is better heat retention and a cleaner aesthetic.
Why enamel on the inside?
Bare cast iron rusts when it holds water for more than a few minutes. The enamel lining seals the interior, prevents corrosion, and does not leach a metallic taste into the tea. It also cleans easier than raw iron.
Can the Toscana cast iron kettle go over a campfire or charcoal?
Yes. Besides gas, induction and electric ceramic, it works on open flame and charcoal. Keep the heat low to medium, since high flames can crack the enamel interior.
Does the gold diamond relief show on both the light blue and the white Toscana kettle?
Yes. Both colors carry the same gold-flecked diamond pattern on the body and lid. Blue looks rich on a wood or dark counter, white looks brighter and more modern.
How many cups of tea does it make?
About four 8 oz cups from its 34 fl oz (1 L) capacity.
Can I use it to heat water for coffee?
Yes. It is a stovetop kettle, so it heats water for a French press or pour-over. Keep the heat low to medium, since high flames can overheat the enamel and crack the coating.
Why does the Toscana kettle weigh 1.4 kg when it only holds 1 liter?
It is solid cast iron, which is dense: about 3.2 lb (1.4 kg) empty for a 34 fl oz (1 L) kettle. That mass is what keeps the pot warm at the table, and the folding bail handle stays cool enough to lift.
Cast iron tea kettle or teapot: what do you have?
Two pieces. The Toscana Cast Iron Kettle is 34 fl oz (1 L) with an enamel-coated interior, a built-in stainless strainer and a gold-flecked diamond pattern, in light blue or white, and works on induction. The Tetsuki Cast Iron Teapot is a 27 oz Japanese tetsubin style teapot with a jute-wrapped handle, for gas or electric stoves (not induction), infuser not included.
What tea kettle do you recommend for loose leaf tea?
The Toscana Cast Iron Kettle has a built-in stainless steel strainer at the spout and an enamel interior, 1 liter, and works on gas, induction and electric ceramic. For precise temperatures, an electric kettle with presets: the Sentinel Smart Kettle. See our tea kettles.
What's the best way to brew loose leaf tea at home?
Use water at the right temperature, a vessel with a strainer and enough room for the leaves to open. The Toscana Cast Iron Kettle has a built-in strainer at the spout. A French press also works well: The Signature Stainless Steel French Press is listed for loose-leaf tea. Heat the water with the Sentinel Smart Kettle.
