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).
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.
The tea brewing process consists of two phases: heating and steeping. After
both phases, the appliance produces a bell sound. After the rst bell sound
(which indicates that the water has reached the right temperature), you
can put the lter 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 lter.
Then your tea is ready for drinking.
