Today, tea is the most consumed beverage
in the world after water. Whether your taste
preference is for a rich full bodied Darjeeling
tea, a delicate fi rst picked Japanese Green
tea or one of the hundreds of herbal teas
now available, all tea drinkers know the
special moment of escape that can be
found while drinking that perfect cup.
Yet brewing tea is both an art and a
science. Tea varieties are grown and
produced in different environments and
require specifi c water temperatures
and controlled brew times to allow their
unique fl avor and aroma to develop during
brewing. Boiled water is not considered
good for making many tea types as the
boiling process removes oxygen, making
the water stale. To bring out the optimal
quality and taste of more delicate tea leaves
such as green, oolong and white tea, a
lower temperature will produce a better
fl avored cup of tea while boiling water
may scald the tea leaves and result in a
bitter, astringent brew. Similarly, brewing
the tea for too long may result in a bitter,
unpleasant brew, while brewing for too
short a period may leave the tea weak
and tasteless.
The Breville One-Touch Tea Maker is fully
programmable for all types of tea, water
temperatures and brew times, eliminating
the guesswork so you can enjoy a perfect
cup of tea, every time.
