Great Kettle for advanced tea folks

As a potter I have some insight into the subtleties that go into making a clay kettle. This kettle could not be made more precisely or delicately. The design is exquisite. Anyone buying a clay kettle should know that they require proper care. Always give a kettle time to warm up slowly, never put a hot kettle on a cold surface, never put cold water into a hot kettle. This may sound cumbersome but you just need to wait for the kettle to cool a bit before adding fresh water, or have a separate kettle with hot water ready for top ups. If you can be mindful and follow best practices to avoid shocking the clay this kettle will serve you well for a lifetime of tea.

Poppin and bubblin all day long

I wrestled for quite awhile on whether or not to buy this kettle. In many ways it felt impractical considering the fancy electric kettle I have. And it does cost a chunk of change. But I find myself drawn to things that force me to slow down a bit. Things that require a bit more intention and interaction. I mean, that's part of why I'm into tea. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well. Suffice it to say, I pulled the trigger and bought one, and I haven't regretted it once. I have it boiling all day long next to me at work. The little hisses and bubbling it makes are so soothing. It's not loud and distracting by any means. And when that lid starts poppin, you know it's tea time. If you find yourself drawn to this kettle, go for it. It's well worth your money. I told myself before I bought one that I should only get it if it would bring me joy. It truly is a source of joy amongst the daily monotony.
