The Bouilloire Serena Platinium 1.7 l by Lavafields heats 1.7 l of water and offers eleven adjustable temperatures, from 50 to 100 °C, shown on a digital screen. Its finish is metallic.

Why adjust the water temperature?

Each tea has its own temperature, given on its product sheet. The Genmaïcha is steeped at 70 °C, the Sencha Tani at 85 °C, the Grand Oolong at 95 °C. With a kettle that heats from 50 to 100 °C, you serve each tea at its setting without waiting for the water to cool.

How do you use it?

• Read the temperature shown on the tea's product sheet.
• Choose the setting closest to it on the screen.
• Pour the water over the leaves, then follow the dose and time on the product sheet.

Our guide to steeping times and temperatures summarises these settings family by family, and our guide to choosing a teapot and the kettle that goes with it helps you put together the rest of the service. The other models are in our kettles section.
