Instructions for use as a teapot:

Before using, rinse with warm water several times and dry thoroughly. To make tea, heat your water in a tea kettle. Add leaves to the inf and place in the teapot. Place your teapot on a Ja trivet or other heat resistant surface. Slowly pour hot water over the tea inf to steep. When the tea has finished steeping, pour and enjoy. Return the teapot to a heat resistant surface cool. When cooled, rinse with warm water. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as putting cold liquids into a hot cast iron product, to avoid damage. Always clean and dry the teapot thoroughly after each use. Avoid using cleaning chemicals and rough sponges that could damage the surface.

Instructions for use as a tea kettle:

If your teapot does not have feet, you can use it as a tea kettle as well. Before using, rinse with warm water several times and dry thoroughly. Your Ja tea kettle can be used on any heat source except microwaves. Never heat an empty tea kettle and always add water before using on a stovetop. Let hot cast iron products cool before rinsing them. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as putting cold liquids into a hot cast iron product, to avoid damage. Always clean and dry the tea kettle thoroughly after each use. Avoid using cleaning chemicals and rough sponges that could damage the surface.

Tips

• Make sure to clean well prior to first use.
• If using on a stovetop, always add water prior to heating. Do not use Ja teapots that have feet on stovetops.
• Always clean and dry thoroughly after each use to prevent rust.
• For best results: Heat the water in a separate container to the desired temperature, put your tea in the Ja teapot inf, and pour the hot water over tea inf (with leaves) into the teapot to steep.
• Make sure to use a trivet all the time, also when serving - not just brewing
