cast iron kettle has an enameled interior, which makes maintenance easy, but it does not elute iron and cannot be expected to improve water quality. This kettle does not have an enameled interior. The traditional Nambu ironware technique is called "kama-yaki". This method involves heating the ironware to a high temperature ( generally until glowing red ). This annealing method alters the metal and as a result creates a surface that prevents extreme rusting and corrosion. The exposed iron surface of these kettles will interact with the water and alter its chemistry. Traditional Nambu Ironware is revered for its ability to "soften" water. Boiling water in these beautiful cast iron kettles will soften the water and improve your tea experience. Rare heavy handmade. Sells $500 online
