Why Choose an Uncoated Tetsubin?
  • Mineral Enrichment: The interaction between the hot water and the raw iron surface enriches the water with iron—a traditional method for making "healthy" tea water.
  • Superior Heat Retention: The heavy cast iron walls distribute heat evenly and keep water at the optimal temperature for multiple steepings.
  • Artisanal Beauty: With use, the kettle develops a unique patina and character, reflecting the care and history of your household.
  • No Filter Design: Purpose-built as a water kettle to ensure the purest boiling environment for high-grade loose-leaf teas.
Essential Care for Cast Iron:

• Dry Immediately: While still warm, wipe the exterior with a dry cloth. Never leave water inside after use.
• No Detergents: Rinse only with plain water. Do not expose to salt, oils, or soaps.
• Surface Protection: Always use a cast iron trivet to protect your table from heat and moisture.
• Safety: Do not use in a microwave or dishwasher. Avoid sudden temperature shocks.
