This handcrafted Japanese tetsubin kettle from Iwachu is a stylish and modern take on a traditional piece of Japanese ironware. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in the tradition of Nambu Tekki, yet with a few styling changes to make it perfectly at home in a chic, modern house.
This type of kettle is commonly used for boiling and serving hot water for making tea. It is said that water boiled in a tetsubin has a softer taste than other boiled water. In addition, since it’s cast iron, the water you drink will be enriched with iron.
This large capacity kettle can hold up to 1.3L of water, and is compatible with gas, direct flame, and induction (IH) heat sources, making it a very versatile kettle.

Instructions
When using, fill the water in the kettle to about 80% of its maximum capacity. Heating at full capacity could cause overflowing.
