tap lever backwards. When you push the lever forwards again the water supply will
be shut off.
• Add a maximum of 1 L to the teapot, up to the fill level mark (4).
• The more tea leaves or tea bags and the less water you place in the teapot, the
stronger the tea concentrate ("professionals" like their infusion to have 2.86 g of tea
per cup). It is better to use somewhat more tea so that a concentrate is actually
formed in the teapot.
• Replace the teapot with the tea concentrate on the water container. The steam rising
in the water container keeps the tea in the teapot at precisely the right temperature
required for brewing.
• After the desired brewing time, remove the tea strainer from the teapot and replace
the lid.
CAUTION: hot steam will escape. Use oven gloves.
• Next pour the required amount of tea concentrate from the teapot into your glass (to
taste) and then top your glass up with water from the water container. This will allow
you to vary the strength and taste of your tea.
• The teapot can be left on the water container when the appliance is operating, so you
can help yourself to more tea at any time. Position the knob somewhat above the
"●●" position (but not to the detent), so that the water remains hot but does not boil
continuously. The signal light will illuminate and extinguish in cycle. However, the
maximum heating setting should only be used for initial boiling of the water.
b) Green Tea
• Green tea can also be prepared with the the samovar. Green tea should generally not
be brewed with boiling water as this gives it a slightly bitter taste. Depending on the
kind of tea, the ideal water temperature is 50 – 90 °C. Most green teas develop their
optimum taste at around 80 °C. The higher the quality of the green tea, the lower the
optimum water temperature. Teas of the highest quality are brewed with water at 50
– 60 °C.
• Normal green teas must infuse for 1 to 3 minutes, whilst high-grade green teas only
need around 1 to 1½ minutes. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions when
using tea bags.
• Green tea is always dosed less than black tea. Around 1 g per 100 ml or 1 level
teaspoon to 200 ml of water. You can determine the strength of the concentrate
yourself.
• Boil the water in the water container. Then pour some hot water into the cups (the
teapot has been pre-warmed on the water container during the boiling process). Then
turn the adjusting knob back to the "●"position (depending on the type of tea) and
allow the water to cool down a little (approx. 3 - 5 minutes). Now pour hot water
from the water container onto the tea (note the fill level mark (4)). Place the teapot
on top of the water container as described before so that the tea remains hot, and
then proceed as for black tea.
c) Herbal tea
Important information:
Herbal, fruit, rooibos and spice teas always require boiling water and have to
brew for at least 5 - 10 minutes! This is the only way to ensure a safe product!
• Herbal teas – whether loose or tea bags – have to be made with boiling water and the
indicated brewing time should be adhered to. This is because in herbal tea blends
