About the Product
This copper teapot is made from pure copper by master craftsmen in Gaziantep, entirely by hand. Made in the classic two-tier Turkish teapot design, with a top teapot and a bottom water chamber, it brews tea to the best flavor thanks to copper's exceptional heat conductivity. Its tin-lined interior is food-safe. It adds both traditional elegance and a healthy tea experience to your kitchen. Slight variations from handcrafting make each piece unique.

How Should the Product Be Cared for and Used?
- Hand wash with liquid dish soap.
- Do not machine wash.
- Never let it come into contact with bleach.
- Dry with a soft cloth after washing.
- Do not clean with hard scouring pads.
- Due to the nature of copper, copper-colored products can oxidize. This is not a defect but a normal occurrence. Keeping copper away from moisture can slow down darkening. If it darkens, the exterior can be cleaned with metal cleaners.
- The interior of tin-lined products may take on the color of food depending on use. Cleaning with baking soda is recommended.
- For long-lasting use, hand wash your copper products with a soft sponge and mild detergent and keep them dry. Do not expose them to very high heat.
How Do I Know If the Tin Is Gone?
The tin coating on the interior of your copper product can wear away over time. If the silver-colored surface inside has disappeared and the reddish tone of the copper is clearly visible, or if there are areas where the coating has opened or peeled, the tin may have thinned or worn away. In this case, re-tinning the product is recommended.
However, it is important to note:
Black spots or dark stains on the interior do not mean the tin is gone. This is usually a natural color change caused by use.
Does the Tin Lining Need to Be Renewed?
- For copper products exposed to fire, re-tinning is recommended periodically (on average every 3 to 5 years).
- Copper products that are not exposed to fire will not need re-tinning.
- Water is not acidic, so it does not wear away tin. Products such as flasks, glasses, and carafes therefore do not need re-tinning.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper is not poisonous.
Properly manufactured and properly used copper products are safe.
Copper is a mineral essential to the human body. Tin-lined copper pots, pans, and flasks used in everyday life are suitable for contact with food. In traditional production, the interior of copper products is tinned, which controls direct contact between the copper and food.
However, be aware of the following:
Acidic foods (such as those with lemon, tomato paste, or vinegar) are not recommended for long contact with untinned copper surfaces. For this reason, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.
In summary:
✔️ Tin-lined and properly manufactured copper products are safe.
✔️ With proper use and care, they can be used safely for many years.
❌ Untinned and poorly maintained products should be avoided.
Copper, when produced by skilled hands, is a safe and healthy choice.
