Pearl Kettle | Studio Range | 1300ml
The kettle is where it begins.
Before the leaf, before the pour, there is water and fire.
The kettle is the foundation. Everything on the table rests on it. Where the water begins decides where the tea arrives.
Introducing an extraordinary addition to the Cloud Hidden collection - the Kettle transcends the traditional confines of kettles and teapots.
There are three ways to utilise the Kettle.
1. Kettle: With its compact size and flameproof design, it serves as an ideal kettle for intimate sessions or for those who prefer a smaller kettle.
2. Teapot: Effortlessly transforming into an exquisite teapot, it features a broad lid and refined spout, perfect for casual gatherings.
3. Boiling Tea: Moreover, it can be used to boil tea directly within the Kettle. This innovative approach to brewing enables both a ceremonial approach, while also facilitating continuous tea brewing in relaxed settings. Expect a darker, richer brew.
The Kettle holds approximately 1300ml.
An Object Study
The anatomy of a kettle
Every part earns its place. Move through a Cloud Hidden kettle, piece by piece.
01 · THE CLAY
Softer water, sweeter tea
The clay is the most important part of the kettle, so we did not leave it to chance. Decades of testing went into the blend. It softens the water and takes off the hard edges. Better water, and a sweeter cup.
02 · The Heat
Heat resistant, so you can heat the water where you pour it
The clay is heat resistant, so you bring the water to the boil in the kettle itself, then pour straight from it. Heating and pouring from the one vessel is part of what makes the tea better.
Use it almost anywhere. A gas stove. A glass or ceramic cooktop. An induction or infrared burner. Or charcoal, the traditional way.
03 · Designer Teaware
Made in our own studio, in Taiwan
Every kettle is made in the Cloud Hidden studio in Taiwan. The shapes are ours, designed in partnership with the studio to meet the demands of brewing tea the way we do.
These are not pulled from a factory line, and they are not generic pieces sold under a dozen names. Each shape is designed and owned by Cloud Hidden, and it has taken years to get them right.

- A beautifully balanced kettle. It sits between holding enough water for bigger sits and staying smaller and lighter than the 2300 ml. The most fluid of our kettles to pour from: smooth, precise, accurate, and easy to move from hand to hand. The lid has a lip, so it will not fall as you pour. It also heats faster than the 2300 ml. A kettle made to be a kettle.

- Our largest kettle. A wide spout for fast pouring, made for larger teapots and bigger sits. It also means fewer kettles on the table: where you might run three 1800 ml kettles, two of these can serve the same room. The wide lid gives you temperature control, just lift it to bring the heat down. You can even boil tea in it for very large sits.
05 · Heirloom Quality
An inheritance for those to come
These are the kettles we use ourselves. Over a million bowls of tea, served across more than twenty years of practice.
A good clay kettle is not disposable. Looked after, it pours for decades, and the best of them last for generations. You are not just buying a kettle. You are buying one you can pass on to loved ones.
MAY YOU FEEL THE EARTH IN YOUR KETTLE.
