Stainless Tea Kettle

BAGGED OR LOOSE TEA WITH YOUR STAINLESS TEA KETTLE

If the Chinese Emperor Shen-Nung had a stainless tea kettle, he would have been more likely to drink more tea than he did when he first discovered it in 2737 BC.

A tea shredder was invented to thinly shred the leaves of the tea so it would fit into the hand-sewn silk bags that were made of muslin. These were the first tea bags of this type, they don't show patents for bags of this type until the early 1900s.

You can now find bags made of paper that are heat-sealed, which makes tea steeping much easier than days past. You no longer have to hand sew the bag yourself, or pay the price for the craftsmanship for one that has been made in that matter.

Loose leaf tea made a down swing because people found buying bags prefilled much more convenient. Slowly the quality and taste of the prepared prefilled bags lost appeal. Luckily for us, the loose-leaf craze has come back in full force.

You can now buy loose leaf tea in your local grocery store, on line, and in local cooperative extensions, so it's right at your doorstep when you want it. There are so many loose-leaf teas to choose from now that you may have trouble deciding which one to buy.

Teas have been around for thousands of years and will be around for many thousands more. Your stainless tea kettle will have no trouble handling any tea of your choice, either loose or bagged, so pick a nice refreshing blend today.
