TEA
TYPES OF TEA
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.
TIPS ON MAKING TEA
The water quality influences tea’s final taste.
For better-quality tea, use filtered water.
Crushed tea leaves steep faster than whole
leaves. To achieve optimal flavor, it may
sometimes be necessary to shorten the
brewing time. Steeping for too long may
release more tannin, which may make the
drink more bitter.
