Place it directly on a gas burner or open flame, add your tea leaves, sugar, and water, and let it simmer slowly until the flavor deepens. The first glass is bold and slightly bitter. The second is smoother. The third is the sweetest. That is the ritual. Durable metal construction withstands direct heat and daily use. Holds enough tea for a full three-round ceremony serving 3 to 6 guests. Hand-wash with mild soap. The flavor deepens with use.
