"Combi model kettle and teapot ARARE 0.6 liters (IH)"
Kyusu and Tetsubin, the combination model
It always happens that the cast iron Kyusu and Tetsubin, iron kettle, are confused with each other. There are only a few very good combination models. Boil water, let it cool a little, pour tea - the practical solution for lovers of authentic tea drinking. The integrated stainless steel strainer makes it possible to remove the tea leaves after the first infusion, the combination model keeps the infusion at temperature. The model is not enameled, so the tea can absorb the healthy iron and minerals of the teapot unhindered. Enjoy a rich tea taste.
The best quality from the hands of experienced artisans
Few artisans in Japan make Nanbu tetsubin and Kyusu from cast iron. The working process, in order to achieve the desired very high quality, is very time-consuming and requires many years of experience from the masters. Elaborate clay molds are made by hand on the wheel and can usually be used for only 4 or 5 products. The world's most famous brand of handmade Nanbu tetsubin and Kyusu made of cast iron (tea pot) is Iwachu, Iwate Prefecture. Only natural materials are used as raw materials: tested iron ore and iron sand, Urushi lacquer, green tea and vinegar for the tetsubin, sealing and protecting the outer surfaces. Classic designs like the Arare motif but also picture motifs or very reduced designs are the rule. Colors are used rather rarely in the tetsubin, but Kyusu are also available in very different, modern colors.
Nambu Tekki (Nanbu Tekki), ancient and unsurpassed
Making nambu cast iron requires a very complex and complicated production process. This is also the reason that this manufacturing process is counted as a traditional handicraft - Nambu is only affordable by intensively trained artisans. Even a standard kettle requires nearly 70 steps. In Japan, it is assumed that training and experience of at least 15 years is necessary to become a high-quality manufacturer of cast iron products using the Nambu Tekki process. Only with about 40 years of experience will this craftsman attain the status of a master.
Original Iwachu
In Japan, it is considered an honor to have one's work imitated or copied. Unfortunately for the buyer, however, this can come with unpleasant \"side effects\" (shelf life, taste, value retention and health). Therefore, if you want to buy an original, pay attention to the labeling of the product. Iwachu imprints the company's emblem on the product. At Oryoki, we source our Iwachu Tetsubin and Kyusu directly from Iwachu in Japan, so you can be sure to get only originals from us.
All products are unique. Slight deviations from the picture are possible. Due to the handmade production, small irregularities in the shape and surface are possible. Iwachu products are only genuine with the original stamp on the product.
