Serve Tea As It Should Be Served- In A Cast Iron Tea Pot
The cast iron tea pot is often generically referred to as ‘tetsubin,’ the traditional Japanese iron tea pot. The original usage of such thick cooking vessels was not simply for boiling leaves. The first people to use cast iron tea pots must have been the local herbal doctors. The need for a vessel capable of a good amount of heat was because very often, the roots, the bard and the stems of plants were necessary components of the medicinal brew. That is the reason why cast iron tea pots are thought to have first been used for medical preparations in Asia. It may have primarily been a kettle used for medicinal teas which enjoyed wide application in curing various types of ailments in Asia. We have to remember that medicinal tea was not always just concocted from leaves. Sometimes, the bark, the stems and the roots of plants would be included in the mixture. Obviously these would require a much longer cooking time in a vessel similar to the kind that was used for softening animal meat and root crops.
Cast iron tea pots are capable of boiling the liquid uniformly and with high temperatures
Whatever ingredients you have in your tea, you can rest assured that cast iron pots will be able to extract the beneficial ingredients in a much shorter. The reason for that is that these vessels can be heated at very high temperatures, higher than other types of metals are capable of withstanding. Additionally, the molecular structure of iron allows for the even distribution of heat throughout the surface of the pot, and consequently in the liquid it contains. This ensures that the brew is cooked uniformly. Iron also keeps the tea hot longer than other metals. It can withstand intense heat and therefore can reach temperatures that are not possible with other types of common metal vessels. Once the brew is done, iron keeps it hot for a longer time. The peculiar physical structure of iron makes for even distribution of heat. This ensures that no portion of the ingredients is either over-cooked or under-cooked and that the whole brew is boiled as it should be.
The mineral iron is also released when the pot boils
Besides providing and retaining more heat than other types of tea pots, cast iron tea pots also enrich the tea with the mineral iron. Most of us know that iron is a primary nutrient that keeps our blood healthy and gives our resistance to disease a boost. That is one important reason why many still used cast iron tea pots. Remember that iron is essential for healthy red blood cells. This must be one of the principal reasons why even today, people prefer to use cast iron vessels for their brews.
Iron tea pots contain oils and residues from that complement the flavor of the tea.
If you have been using your cast iron teapot for some time, some of the oil and residue from previous teas will have clung to the insides of the cast iron teapot, something than can intensify the flavor of the tea. This may or may not be an advantage.
It is advisable to use one cast iron pot for each distinct family of teas that you are accustomed to drink. In this way the oils that cling to the insides of the pot can considerably intensify and enrich all the brews that are made in that same pot. However, you should only boil compatible tea blends in the same cast iron tea pot. Otherwise, your tea may not come out as tonic and pleasant to the taste. On the other hand, using one pot for different tea mixtures with conflicting flavors may make the taste of the tea disagreeable, depending on the sensitiveness of the person’s taste buds and nose.
The proper ways to clean cast iron pots
If you are fond of tasting different kinds of brews composed of blends with opposing flavors, you should wash the inside of the cast iron pot thoroughly with a dish cleansing solution. This is to prevent the cleaning solution from flavoring your next brew. On the other hand, if you regularly only take one type of tea, you should refrain from washing out the oils lining the inside of the pot as that will reduce the flavor of your concoction. Simply shower the inside of the pot vigorously with water before drying it. Alternatively you could boil plain water in the pot just so you can eliminate any microbes present without removing the flavoring residue. Be careful to rinse it thoroughly to avoid your tea tasting like the cleaning agent you used. On the other hand, if you drink one kind of tea all the time, you should not bother washing the pot with a cleaning liquid as that will remove the taste-enhancing oils. Just rinse the pot with boiling water to make sure the microbes are killed and then thoroughly dry the inside before keeping it.
Modern cast iron tea pots are often coated with porcelain
A porcelain coat prevents the cast iron tea pot from rusting, beautifies the outside of the pot and allows it to keep the tea hot for an even longer time.

What is the best type of tea pot for loose tea?
As some of you may know, you can get imported tea such as 100% pure Ceylon (Al Wazah) from pretty much any halal meat market. A few of us lazy Americans are used to the disposable tea bags; often not realizing we are really only consuming "shake" & not full leaves; therefore lacking essential vitamins & minerals. The advertisements would like us to believe otherwise. Anyhow, my question is: what type of tea pot is best for brewing loose tea?
The three main types are glass, porcelain, and cast iron.
I use the iron pot as (once preheated) keeps the tea at brewing temperature longer. Others love ceramic. I think the glass is primarily used be people who use teas that are more "showy".
Personally, I feel tea infuses best when allowed to float freely in the pot. Therefore I remove the included infuser. I actually pour through the infuser to catch the leaves.
I doubt tea bags are less healthy than loose (although they are not as fresh), but I know they have less flavor.
