Compared to ceramics, Nambu Tekki is less prone to cracking, making it durable and long-lasting. The deep, rich flavor that develops with use is also appealing. Iron absorbs chlorine from water, so hot water boiled in Nambu Tekki has a mellow and gentle taste, and a smooth mouthfeel. Plain hot water (sayu) also becomes mellow and gentle, and your usual tea and coffee taste even better when brewed in Nambu Tekki. The hot water and dishes cooked with Nambu Tekki contain iron that has leached from the ironware. It is ferrous iron (heme iron), which is easily absorbed by the body, making it effective for efficient iron intake and preventing anemia, which is also beneficial for health. Iron is characterized by its ability to retain heat once heated. Thick Nambu Tekki, in particular, stores a lot of heat, so the temperature does not easily drop even when water or ingredients are added, and there is no unevenness in temperature during cooking. #NambuTekki #Kyusu #Tetsubin #Iron #Anemia #TeaCeremonyUtensils #TeaUtensils #MetalCraft #Crafts #TeaCeremony #Interior #Retro #AnemiaPrevention #Health #HotWater #Vintage #Antique Type: Kettle/Tea Utensils Material: Iron
