I am an avid tea-sipper. I drink hot tea on cold mornings, and cold brewed tea on warm summer days. I also teach in a high school with over three thousand students, so often, I need a cup of tea to carry me through a day of grading and lecturing.  The Cool Touch Kettle is a perfect addition to my classroom and safe for any student who brushes past the unit.   I can count on the digital controls to tell me how hot the temperature is and if it is ready for my Lemon Lift tea bag, soy creamer, and sugar.  Perfect afternoon delight!
