Tips For Making Tea
Not all tea is the same. In very literal terms, tea is just an aqueous infusion of the tea plant
Camellia sinensis. This may be black or green tea. A distinction should be made from tea-like
products, the so-called herbal and fruit teas.
This also means that not all tea-making can be the same. Depending on the variety, teas are
infused with water at a different temperature in order to bring out the valuable ingredients and
the fl avour of the particular variety on the one hand and also preserve them on the other hand.
For this reason, the different varieties also have infusion times of different lengths.
Below we have summarised a few of the most important basics for making tea. But you should
also always note the preparation details provided on the packaging.

Black Tea

Proceed as follows to make black 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 (approx. one teaspoon per cup) or tea bags (approx.
1 tea bag for 1 – 2 cups).
The more tea leaves or tea bags are placed in the tea strainer and the less water is
poured into the teapot, the stronger the tea concentrate will be. Tip: It is better to add
slightly more tea so that you really do get a concentrate (connoisseurs enjoy an infusion
with approx. 3 g for 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. Press the On / Off switch (12) to switch on the device. The operating lamp in the On / Off
switch lights up.
7. 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.
8. 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").
9. Take the teapot off the water reservoir.
10. Brew the tea in the teapot with boiling water from the water reservoir (see the "Operation"
chapter – "Operating the Discharge Tap").
11. 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".
12. After the required infusion time, take the tea strainer out of the pot.
