Tea is not only relaxing, some studies suggest it can help you live a longer life. To encourage yourself to drink more, it helps to elevate the ritual, so the entire process, from brewing to sipping, is beneficial. Besides choosing the best tea leaves, to have the best experience, you want to use a gooseneck kettle for precision brewing.
Even though there are primarily only two ingredients required when brewing tea (hot water and tea leaves), there is a wide assortment of tools, appliances and devices that you can use to get the best results. These items include tea kettles, tea infusers, tea scoops, tea strainers and more.
If you want a better brew, an electric gooseneck kettle is essential. It is a versatile tool that can be used for coffee as well as tea. It has a reservoir to hold and heat your water and a long thin spout for pouring control. Since different types of teas are best brewed at different temperatures, it is essential to have precision when it comes to heating. While a stovetop kettle is adequate, more affordable and long-lasting, it is best to get an electric gooseneck kettle with temperature control. This option ensures you will always brew at the perfect temperature and wind up with the best tea.
The long thin spout of the gooseneck kettle gives you complete control over where you pour and how fast you pour. This precision is important for extracting the most robust flavor from your leaves.
