Instead, use only clean water. Do not leave tea or water in the pot for longer than an hour, and dry thoroughly after each use. Not dishwasher safe.Crafted of cast iron due to way it evenly absorbs and retains heat makes this the ideal teapotHolds up to 1200mL(40oz.) Please note: Not for stovetop use. Water should be boiled in another vessel first.
If you're really looking for a kettle, I'd forgo the cast iron and get an electric kettle with a programmable temperature setting and a gooseneck spout. Having a temperature setting is great for teas that require sub-boiling temperatures, and a gooseneck makes pouring easier, whether you're using a pot or a gaiwan. Cast iron really isn't necessary for making good tea, and a good tetsubin will cost you several hundred dollars.
If what you're actually looking for is a cast iron teapot like one of these, I'd advise against it. Anything that's intended to be used as a teapot will have a coating of enamel on the inside, which won't develop a rust patina. The only benefit you really get from a cast iron teapot is heat retention, which you can get from other materials as well. That being said, since greens don't generally require high heats, you don't really need to worry about heat retention in your brewing vessel. If your girlfriend is into Chinese tea, maybe look at getting a gaiwan or a Chinese clay teapot. If she's into Japanese greens, go for something like a Tokoname or Banko pot.
