It was utilized for brewing medicinal teas and as a hot water kettle. The practice of using an iron kettle for tea preparation is documented in Lu Yu's \"The Classic of Tea\" from the Tang Dynasty. In this seminal work, Lu Yu describes 21 types of tea utensils, including a specific vessel known as a \"fu\" (ふるい) for boiling tea, which was made from raw iron, now referred to as cast iron in modern terminology. \n\nThe kettle features a stout, rounded body with an integrated handle and a spout that protrudes like a cannon's muzzle, accompanied by a small iron lid.
