Cast Iron Cup

Cast iron is a Japanese staple for traditional green tea ceremonies, but why? Not only are cast iron teacups beautiful objects that add a luxurious weight and sophistication to the experience itself, they actually offer a functional solution to teas that require very low water temperatures like green tea. Made of solid cast iron with an enamel interior, these cups are known for their excellent heat retention, so your tea will stay at the perfect temperature for longer. Both our 'nail head' cups and their matching cast iron teapots come to us from Nanbu Iron Studio Roji, who are known for their reimaginations of traditional designs.
