You guys rock! ❤

Do you have any tips for maintaining water temperature when you don't have an electric kettle? I've decided I might boil the water on the stove and then pour it into my insulated thermos and bring it back to my tea area with me.

Yes you can certainly use a thermos. Re-boiling water can have a negative effect on flavor, as it causes dissolved oxygen molecules to escape solution, resulting in flatter taste. With that said, the best option is a temperature controlled kettle that holds your water at the temperature you set.

@@redblossomtea Thank you so much for the detailed reply! I never knew that about re-boiled water. Will look into getting an electric kettle soon.
