Cast Iron Teakettle | Nagomi Design | 0.65L | Direct Flame Compatible | Iwate Nambu Tekki
[Boiling Water with Iron Transforms Your Drink – Nambu Tekki Teakettle Nagomi 0.65L] Made in Japan
■ Product FeaturesA teakettle is not a teapot – it is a kettle for boiling water directly over a heat source. While a teapot is for brewing tea, a teakettle transforms the water itself before it enters the tea.In Japanese tea ceremony, water boiled in a cast iron teakettle is believed to fundamentally change the nature of the water. Iron removes chlorine from tap water, softens hard water through natural mineral exchange, and enriches the water with iron ions. Many tea masters claim that tea brewed with water from a teakettle is smoother and sweeter, even with the same tea leaves.The "Nagomi" design features a slightly organic and uneven surface texture, differing from the geometric regularity of the "Arare" pattern – a aesthetic that is softer and more spacious, familiar with the spirit of Wabi-Sabi. The handle arches over the top of the kettle and can be laid flat for safe handling when hot.The 0.65L Nagomi is sized for intimate tea moments – enough water for two to three careful pours.
