Vaporization is a gentle extraction method that heats dry herbs with warm air to release their delicate essential oils into a vapor. This vapor can then be inhaled, providing immediate relaxation and therapeutic effects without the harmful byproducts of combustion.

The Air Tea Kettle comes with a reusable stainless steel herb pot, which holds just a small pinch of dried plant matter. Thanks to the efficient extraction process, you’ll get the most out of your herbs, allowing you to maximize their benefits and extend their use.

We do not recommend using store-bought tea bags, as they often contain microplastics and may include low-quality herbs or pesticides. Our reusable stainless steel tea pot allows you to source your own herbs with confidence, knowing they’re sustainably and organically grown. We suggest sourcing herbs from local organic farms, or even growing your own! If you need help finding a local supplier, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help. Alternatively, trusted online suppliers like Mountain Rose Herbs offer high-quality, organic options.

We encourage you to do your own research when it comes to herbalism, as everyone’s biochemistry is unique. Generally, herbs with strong aromas are ideal, as these contain delicate monoterpenes that vaporize at lower temperatures. We recommend starting with easy to find and popular “nervines” (herbs that promote relaxation), such as Lavender, Chamomile, Skullcap, Damiana, Tusli, and Blue Lotus. Then expand your experimenting to other herbs, the options are endless. Some spices like cinnamon or cayenne pepper may create a harsh experience, so it’s best to avoid those. We’d love to hear about your experiences—let us know what herbs you’ve tried!

We recommend sourcing herbs from local organic farms or growing your own! If you can’t find a local supplier, don’t hesitate to reach out—we can help you find quality sources.

No, please avoid using concentrates, oils, or liquids of any kind in your Air Tea Kettle. The stainless steel herb pot has small holes at the bottom, and adding liquids can damage the heating element. Stick to dry herbs for the best performance.
