Traditional Japanese Nambu Tetsubin Kettle (1.2L/40.5oz) - Arare
Traditional Japanese Nambu Tetsubin Kettle – Crafted for Boiling Water
This eco-friendly Japanese tetsubin kettle, carefully crafted in Iwate Prefecture, is both durable and heat-resistant, designed specifically for boiling water. Unlike enamel-coated teapots, this tetsubin has no interior enamel, making it ideal for naturally infusing iron into your water.
Product Highlights:
- Purpose & Use: Designed exclusively for boiling water, this tetsubin does not include a tea strainer. For best results, empty the kettle immediately after use, allowing residual heat to dry the interior, reducing the likelihood of rust.
- Natural Iron Supplement: Without an interior enamel coating, the tetsubin allows trace amounts of iron to be released, providing a natural way to increase iron intake.
- Authentic Craftsmanship: Made by the renowned Oiharu foundry, the kettle features the classic Arare pattern and a smooth, forged iron handle for a comfortable grip.
- Care Instructions: Over time, rust or mineral buildup may appear inside. This is a natural process that does not affect the kettle's performance. Simply rinse with water and allow it to dry from residual heat after each use.
- Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for use on both direct flame and induction cooktops, adding versatility to your kitchen setup.
Owning a Nambu Tetsubin kettle is a symbol of Japanese tradition and quality, and it can be cherished as a family heirloom, passed down for generations.
Using a tetsubin tea kettle for tea brewing is said to enhance the taste and aroma of the tea. The cast iron material helps to retain heat for a longer period, allowing the tea to steep thoroughly and release its full flavor.
