Cast iron is believed to enrich and improve the taste of boiled water. When brewing tea using water boiled in Tetsubin the taste of the tea becomes very mellow and sweet. As Japanese teas are refined and delicate, the tea’s after-taste becomes sweeter and rounder when the water is boiled in a cast iron kettle.
