The 5 Best Electric Tea Kettles As Of June, 2017 (And 1 Others)

Originating in China and introduced to England, America, and the rest of the world, tea has long been one of the most popular drinks around. Recent years have seen its popularity rise even more, thanks in no small part to tea aficionados who laud its health benefits, which include cancer protection, blood pressure maintenance, decreased risk of diabetes and stroke. As a result, the demand for electric tea kettles that function as automatic tea brewers have also seen an upswing.

Electric tea kettles differ from ordinary electric kettles in that they have a tea basket, also called a steeper, for loose-leaf tea. Water filters through this basket, allowing the tea leaves to steep at a set temperature: Tea enthusiasts know that different types of teas call for different brew temperatures and brew times. Most models have temperature presets that correspond to types of teas, and some also have preset steep times to control the strength of the brew.

When you want to make the best brews out of your tea, nothing beats the precision and convenience of a cordless electric tea kettle.
