13. Pour the concentrate that has been created in the teapot into a tea cup or a tea glass and
top it up with hot water from the water reservoir. This enables you to vary the strength
and the fl avour of the tea as you wish.
The teapot can also remain on the water reservoir after the infusion time while the
device is in operation. This keeps the tea concentrate hot.
Green Tea
Green tea can also be made using the samovar. However, it should not be brewed using boiling
water. Depending on the variety, the ideal temperature is 50 – 70 °C. The higher quality the
tea, the lower the optimum water temperature. The infusion time also differs depending on the
quality of the tea. Most varieties need to infuse for roughly 1 – 3 minutes. High-quality green
tea only needs to infuse for around 1 – 1½ minutes.
In the case of tea bags, it is essential to note the manufacturer's preparation instructions.
Proceed as follows to make green tea:
1. Pour water into the water reservoir (6) (see the "Operation" chapter – "Filling the Water
Reservoir").
2. Fill the tea strainer (1) with tea leaves or tea bags.
Green tea generally has a lower concentration than black tea. Roughly 1 g is added to
100 ml of water or 1 heaped teaspoon is added to 200 ml of water.
3. Place the tea strainer in the teapot (3) and place the lid (2) on the teapot.
4. Place the lid (15) on the water reservoir (see the "Operation" chapter – "Removing /
Attaching the Lid").
5. Place the teapot on the lid. This will preheat the teapot while the water is boiling.
6. The cups are also preheated by being fi lled with warm water.
7. Press the On / Off switch (12) to switch on the device. The operating lamp in the On / Off
switch lights up.
8. Turn the thermostat control (7) clockwise until it resists to switch on the device and start
boiling the water. The heating control lamp (8) lights up.
9. As soon as the water boils, turn the thermostat control anticlockwise so that the heating
control lamp goes out (see the "Preparation" chapter – "Interval Boiling").
10. Allow the water to cool down for approx. 5 – 6 minutes.
11. Take the teapot off the water reservoir.
12. Brew the tea in the teapot with warm water from the water reservoir (see the "Operation"
chapter – "Operating the Discharge Tap").
13. Place the teapot back on the water reservoir. The steam rising up in the water reservoir
keeps the tea concentrate in the teapot at the temperature that it requires for "infusion".
14. After the required infusion time, take the tea strainer out of the pot.
