Frequently asked questions

Care, delivery, returns and the tea subscription. Still stuck? Ask us directly.

How long does delivery take?

UK orders leave our London warehouse within one working day and typically arrive in 2–3 working days. Europe takes 3–5 working days and the rest of the world 5–10. You will get a tracking number as soon as the parcel is scanned.

How do returns work?

You have 30 days to return an unused item in its original packaging. UK return shipping is free — start a return from your account and we will email a prepaid label. Refunds land within 5 working days of the parcel reaching us.

Can I change my delivery address after ordering?

If the order has not shipped, email us with your order number and the new address and we will update it. Once a tracking number exists we cannot redirect a parcel in transit, but you can refuse delivery and it will come back to us.

Do you ship overseas?

Yes. UK delivery is £5.95 and free over £80, the EU is £14.95 and the rest of the world £24.95. Import duties for orders outside the UK are the customer’s responsibility.

How does the tea subscription work?

Choose any eligible tea, pick an interval, and save 12% on every delivery. You can pause, skip or cancel at any time from your account — there is no minimum term and no cancellation fee.

Are your teapots dishwasher safe?

No. Hand-rinse with warm water only and air-dry on a wooden trivet. Prolonged water contact and detergent will dull the enamel and can cause rust on the bare iron exterior.

Do I need to season a new CasaMonami cast iron teapot?

No. All our teapots are enamel-lined on the inside, so they need no seasoning before first use. The outside benefits from a thin camellia oil rub twice a year.

Can I put a cast iron teapot on the stove?

No — the enamel can crack. Use a kettle for boiling water and pour into the teapot. CasaMonami teapots are for brewing, not heating.

How heavy is this teapot?

A CasaMonami teapot weighs between 1.6 and 3.0 kg empty, depending on capacity. The weight is the point — that thermal mass keeps tea at a stable temperature.

How do I return it if I don't like it?

We offer 30-day returns on all unused items in original packaging. UK returns are free — start a return from your account and we will email a prepaid label.
