NOTE!
You might choose the tea concentration by taste
Always take notice of the steeping time indicated on the tea packing, as it differs
between the tea sorts.

Replace the teapot with the tea concentrate on the water tank. The steam rising in
the water tank keeps the tea in the teapot at precisely the right temperature required
for brewing.
•
After the desired brewing time has elapsed, remove the tea strainer (tea bag) from
the tea pot.

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 tank. This will allow you

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.
