Product Description
This tetsubin depicts a large tidal wave, or tsunami. In Japan, tsunami are frequent-ouncecurence from mother nature, so to give respect to this magnificent force, therefore, Joyce Chen has created the Tsunami tetsub-Inch Like all Joyce Chen handcasted tetsubins, this one is fully enameled in the interior and fitted with a fine stainless steel mesh infuser. The cast iron keeps brewed tea extremely hot yet the interior porcelain enamel keeps the metal from interacting with the tea or imparting a metallic taste. Joyce Chen's slogan Eastern Cookware for the Western Kitchen, reflects her focus on providing high-quality, versatile tools and products that have Asian flair, but can be used in a western kitchen. Joyce Chen opened her first restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1958. The restaurant flourished, and in 1973 a larger Cambridge restaurant was opened. Chen also began writing Chinese cookbooks and in the 1970s began hosting a cooking show on public television. She found that the selection and quality of Chinese cookware in America didn't live up to her high standards so she developed her own. Today, Joyce Chen Products come from all over the Pacific Rim to bring the best of Asia to you.

A gift for friends...that like brewing tea!
By E Sikorski
My friend saw my joyce Chen tea kettle (black one with bumps) and wished she had one.Well, I am a generous friend and this was a gift to hers (and his) new kitchen.They loved it.They love the tea it brews.I recommended Peets White Tea (Snow leopard) and it is one of the best white teas by far brewed in this.The picture doesn't do the color justice (its a deep blue..)It was smaller than I thought but big enough for brewing for 2-4 folks (2-8oz cups or 4-4oz). You can remove the stainless screen and use bags too!This does not heat on a burner! It is for steeping (you heat water in some other vessel, add the tea leaves to the screened basket inside, then fill with boiling water. The cast iron design will help steep quickly and keep remaining tea warm. You can double brew (add more water again to same leaves) too.
