Tea is at its best when brewed at the proper temperature and the built-in precision temperature gauge provides the exact water temperature to brew every variety of tea properly. Just as there are different varieties of teas, there are different ways each should be prepared. Some are more delicate and sensitive while others are more durable and require higher temperatures to release their full, rich flavor. With the retro FRIGIDAIRE kettle with built in thermometer, you\'ll never have to guess the water temperature and you\'ll always enjoy your tea at its best!
