The Rich History of Tea Kettles

The history of tea is an interesting one. Boiling water was a practice done by travelers and soldiers in ancient china. They figured out that to boil water at a certain temperature would remove its impurities giving them potable water. They also started adding green tea leaves to the boiling water to give it a certain flavor. This led to the formulation of tea. In Europe on the other hand, such nomads and warriors also boiled water for it to be potable but they placed wheat and barley grain on their water to add flavor, thereby fermenting such ingredients to what we now know as malt beer. In North America, tea kettles were normally used by cowboys for their coffee during cattle runs and drives. These kettles had to be strong and sturdy for the long haul. For most of the part, a lot of the tea kettles were made of copper which conducted heat easily. In china, tea kettles were made of porcelain which added to the allure of the eastern world. Such tea pots and tea cups were so artfully done that it was highly traded.

These days kettles are mostly made from stainless steel and depending on the brand, design and size the range of prices may start from 20 dollars up to 300 dollars and up. En vogue these days are blue tea kettles. They are trendy and a hot thing to buy because they are pleasing to the eye and are inexpensive. These blue kettles are enamel coated stainless steel kettles that are practical to have and may fit in any kitchen setting as the color differentiates itself from the normal dull color of regular kettles.

Some of the blue tea kettles worth mentioning are the following:

- Le Creuset Azure Blue Tea Kettle which retails for around 70 dollars

- Le Creuset Cobalt Blue Whistling Kettle which retails for around 70 dollars

- Meyer Kitchen Aid 2.25 quart Soft Grip Kettle which retails for around 48 dollars

- Oxo Uplift Tea Kettle Deep Blue which retails for around 60 dollars

- Rachael Ray Ball Style Blue Kettle which retails for 40 dollars. This is a very popular blue tea kettle that it has back orders which may show how sellable Rachael Ray is to the American market.

- Chantal Classic Blue Kettle with Hohner Harmonica Whistle which retails between a 100 to 120 dollars

These are some of the blue tea kettles available online, save for the Rachel Ray. A good consideration as a Christmas gift to a loved one.
