The Authentic Moroccan Copper Teapot, As It Has Always Been Made

This is a true barrad — the traditional Moroccan copper teapot that has been at the centre of Moroccan hospitality for centuries. Crafted from copper and finished with a bright silver plating, it is the same material combination that master metalworkers in Marrakech’s Semmarine quarter have used for generations. Copper’s exceptional heat conductivity makes it the ideal base for a tea-brewing vessel, distributing warmth evenly to extract the full flavour from gunpowder green tea and fresh mint.

The exterior is entirely hand-engraved with traditional geometric X-patterns and floral medallions. Each engraving band requires 5 to 7 days of skilled work — a level of craft that cannot be replicated by machine. The result is a deeply textured surface that catches light beautifully and carries the unmistakable mark of individual artisan hands.


About the Interior — Read Before First Use

The inside of this teapot is bare copper, which naturally develops a dark patina with use. This dark layer is not a flaw — it is an essential quality of an authentic Moroccan teapot and improves with every brew. Never scrub, polish, or use chemical cleaning agents on the interior.

When you first receive your teapot, it may have a faint metallic scent. This disappears completely with a simple one-time seasoning: add a handful of loose tea leaves and water, bring to a gentle boil, leave to cool inside the pot, then empty and rinse with plain water only. Your teapot will be fully ready for use after this.

For all ongoing care, rinse the interior with plain water only. The exterior silver plating can be gently wiped with a soft dry cloth. Full care instructions are available in our teapot cleaning and maintenance guide.
