Black tea
Tea is not just tea. Strictly speaking, tea is exclusively a watery
infusion of the tea plant camellia sinensis. This infusion can be
black or green tea. A distinction must be made between this and
tea-like products, the herbal and fruit teas.
Making tea is therefore not always the same thing. In order to re-
tain the precious constituents and the taste, teas are brewed with
water at different temperatures and allowed to steep for different
lengths of time. Green tea, for example, is preferably made with
the water at 85 °C. In all cases the preparation instructions on the
pea package should be observed.
To prepare tea following the "Samovar principle", proceed as fol-
lows:
Fill the tea strainer of the teapot with tea leaves (roughly 1
‹
teaspoon per cup) or place tea bags (1 tea bag for roughly
1-2 cups) into the teapot (without strainer).
Close the water tank with the lid (see chapter
‹
tank with lid) and then place the teapot on the water tank.
The teapot is thus preheated at the same time.
Allow the water in the water tank to boil.
‹
Take the teapot off the water tank.

WARNING
Risk of burns from hot steam!
Hot steam can escape when removing the teapot.
Use pot cloths and take off the teapot carefully.

NOTE
Some condensation may drip off the bottom of the teapot.
