PURPOSE OF WATER KETTLE
•
This kettle not only boils water, but also makes tea preparation easier thanks to its adjustable
temperature. Just choose the optimal temperature for the selected type of tea, and let the water
heat up. After heating the water, put tea in the tea strainer, put the tea strainer in the kettle, and
start brewing mode. Then just wait for the acoustic signal that tells you brewing time is finished
and time to take the strainer with the steeped tea out of the kettle. The automatic “Keep Warm”
function keeps the tea hot for 30 minutes.
TYPES OF TEA
•
Tea is made by processing the leaves of the tea plant. Depending on the processing method, there
are four basic types of tea — white, green, oolong and black.
Types of tea
Processing method and characteristic flavor
White tea
White tea is the rarest and mildest tea. It contains young leaves and buds. The
leaves are left to oxidize mildly on their own, and then they are dried. This
type of tea has less caffeine and tastes slightly sweet.
Green tea
The tea leaves undergo minimal oxidation and are then dried before they
darken. Green tea has a distinctive aroma and a slightly bitter taste.
Oolong tea
The leaves are picked at their moment of full ripeness. The leaves undergo
oxidation, which is interrupted in certain phases. These leaves are brown with
a slight green tinge. This tea has a pleasant touch of fruit flavor.
Black tea
Black tea is the world’s most common variety. The harvested leaves are
mechanically broken and undergo full oxidation. During the oxidation process,
the leaves darken to a brown to black shade. Of all the teas mentioned above,
black tea has the strongest taste.
•
In addition to tea made only from tea leaves, there are other types of tea and tea blends, such as
fruit tea, herb tea, etc. You can use this kettle to prepare any kind of tea — just select the right
temperature.
DOSING AND STORING TEA
•
When measuring out tea, follow the producer’s instructions.
•
Tea is very prone to taking on various aromas and odors. For tea to retain its flavor and aroma,
it should not be exposed to moisture or light. Tea should be kept in moisture-proof containers in
a dark, dry place. We do not recommend consuming tea after its expiration date, because then it
loses its flavor and aroma.
