optimal brewing of different teas
Different teas require different brewing methods. Especially the water temperature and steeping
time are very important for a good end result. For example, some green teas should be prepared at
80°C, as they would get a bitter taste if prepared with boiling (100°C) water. Tea packages often
mention the optimal brewing instructions.
This tea maker helps to you get all the goodness out of each tea and herbal tea as it enables you to
use the ideal combination of water temperature and steeping time.
With this tea maker, you can prepare tea in two ways:
1 With one of the four quick-select buttons. These buttons are preprogrammed with the ideal
water temperature and steeping time for the main types of tea: black tea (1), green tea (2), fruit
and herbal tea (3) and rooibos (4) (Fig. 1).
2 Manually with the personal settings button. When you want to brew a type of tea that you
cannot choose with the quick-select buttons or if you prefer different settings than the
preprogrammed settings, you can use the personal settings button. When you use this
button, you can adjust both the water temperature and steeping time yourself with the increase
and decrease buttons. (Fig. 2)
The tea brewing process consists of two phases: heating and steeping. After both phases, the
appliance produces a bell sound. After the first bell sound (which indicates that the water has
reached the right temperature), you can put the filter with the tea leaves in the teapot. Then the
light ring on the base lights up segment by segment to indicate the progression of the steeping time.
After the second bell sound, you have to remove the filter. Then your tea is ready for drinking.
