Taiwanese ceramic-iron kettle

Taiwanese ceramic-iron jug "Chubby" - Eilong, 200 ml

A natural yet characterful piece: the iron-rich, mottled glaze evokes a "metallic" effect, while the surface develops a subtle patina over time – due to the effects of tea and humidity. Each can is unique, the subtle nuances of high-temperature firing make it unrepeatable.

Why will you love me?

• Uniqueness – due to the iron-stained, mottled glaze and high-temperature firing, no two pieces are the same.
• They mature over time – the surface deepens, becomes colored, and acquires a patina with use.
• Balanced taste – the ceramic body gives a warm, round sip, goes well with full-bodied teas.
• Compact design – chubby proportions, easy-to-grip lid and spout for clean pouring.

Recommended teas

• Older white teas – for soft, honey-amber lines.
• Roasted oolongs – Taiwanese and Wuyi rock oolongs, where a warm body is useful.
• Red (black) teas – the round texture nicely enhances the natural sweetness.

Use & care
