When it comes to tea-time, could there be anything nicer than enjoying a cup of tea made from a Simplex beehive tea kettle by Newey & Bloomer - the world’s most prestigious kettle company? Handmade in England since 1903, the iconic shape of the Simplex beehive kettle, crafted by hand using age-old spinning techniques, is as popular today as when it was first designed in the 1950s.
Produced from only the finest copper – the best conductor of heat to ensure a faster boil and greater heat retention – every tea kettle is unique and takes over a month to produce and is proudly stamped with ‘Made in England’ on the base.
The Simplex beehive Blenheim No 3 tea kettle has a magnificent mirror-chrome exterior and will whistle obediently through the spout letting you know it’s time for tea!
Please allow 4-5 weeks for your kettle to be despatched, as each one is individually crafted by hand.

Care
Do:
- Keep water level just below the centre seam
- Hand wash only and dry with a soft cloth
- Clean chrome kettles with a wet soapy cloth and polish with a dry cloth to bring back its shine.
- Use filtered water, particularly in hard water areas
- Empty any left over water after boiling and wipe the inside dry to prevent calcium (limescale) build up
- Copper is an exceptional material in the kitchen and, when maintained properly, should give you many years of service
Do Not:
- Leave water in the kettle overnight
- Put your kettle in a dishwasher
- Let the Simplex tea kettle boil dry
- Clean with any acidic cleaning agents
- Scrub with steel wool or abrasive cleaning cloths/brushes or pads as this can lead to irreparable damage
