Small break. ^^

I love this thing. I have quite a few kettles and well, I had to buy a super safe one because I have 4 kitties (Chi, Fushi, Kage Kun, Pachinko). Wild little monsters. hehe All four were either feral and/or dumped by their owner. One took 2 years for me to pet her, and she’s still sketchy, poor baby. Someone broke her tail and hurt her (grrr). Long story. Anyway, they jump on everything and rub up against everything…

So this kettle was the perfect answer. It was even knocked down once and it was full, it spilled like a tablespoon. Quick boil button, 8 temperature settings, a 4-hour warmer, 7+ cup capacity and the most important factor for me for the safety of my furkids: Cool Touch exterior even when boiling. Oh, one thing, when it boils… It’s LOUD but it’s fast, so then it gets quiet.

End of my commercial. ^^

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).

Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.

The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
