Tea Is Simply, Simple - Nesco TM-1 Manual De Usuario

Tea is the most commonly consumed beverage in the world after water.
Good tea making begins with good quality water and having proper steeping
time. With the NESCO Real Tea tea maker, you only need to provide the water
and the appliance does the rest. As you experiment with different teas, you will
figure out which teas you prefer to brew stronger and which teas taste better
brewed weaker.
Gernerally, 1-1/2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per 10 oz. cup - this formula will
vary for gourmet teas. Serving size is more of an art than of science. Experiment
until you find the perfect amount for your personal taste.
Tea will expand 2 to 5 times in size after absorbing water, do not overfill filter
chamber. High quality teas can be steeped longer, add one minute of steeping
for each steep.
TEA STORAGE: Store teas in tightly sealed container and in a cool, dry place
away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Never refrigerate tea or store near
spices as flavor and odors may transfer to your tea. Metal containers work best
when placed in cupboard or pantry.
Type of tea
English Breakfast or Earl Grey teas
Fruity teas
Green teas
Oolong tea
White tea
BLACK: Black tea is the most familiar tea type to North Americans and
Europeans. Earl Grey, English Breakfast and orange Pekoe ar all black teas. Black
teas pair nicely with dairy and sweetener. Good black tea can usually be steeped
longer, which explains why they usually contain highter amounts of caffiene.
GREEN: Green tea is best known for its grassy vegetal notes and greenish
liquor and leaves. Green tea has minimal processing, protecting valuable
antioxidants. Green teas must be steeped more carefully, as they can become
bitter if steeped too long.
HERBAL/FRUIT: Herbal/Fruity teas by definition are not really teas they
are made of herbs, flowers, berries, spices, roots, fruits or other flora sources.
These types of teas are generally caffiene free.
OOLONG: Oolong teas are another healthy variety of tea and similar to Green
teas. They are full bodied with a sweet aroma and low in caffiene.
WHITE: White teas are the least processed and contain only the buds and very
young leaves of the plant. As a result, they are more rare and expensive. They
have a delicate taste and health profile as green teas.
