Made by Xiao Ti, a company specializing in electric kettles for gongfu tea in Guangdong, China. The interior and lid feature solid food-grade 304 stainless steel, and the exterior comes in a timeless matte black finish. This is the most popular kettle among serious tea lovers in China and beyond — you’ll find it in many high-end tea rooms.

I first discovered this kettle while taking tea courses from my teacher in China. Since then, I’ve tested a wide variety of kettles in the US. Years went by and I couldn’t find anything that matched it in both aesthetics and function — so we reached out to the manufacturer directly and requested a US 110V version.

The capacity is under 600ml — the perfect size for gongfu tea, so you’re never reheating the same water multiple times. The switch is embedded in the handle: a gentle press starts the boil, and it stops automatically once the water is ready. Efficient, intuitive, and beautifully minimal.

We especially love the straight spout design. It gives you a precise, controlled pour — exactly what gongfu tea brewing calls for.
