BREWING BASICS
For best results, use a good quality loose leaf or bagged tea. Measure carefully –
approximately 3g of dry tea, the equivalent to measuring one rounded teaspoon, should be
used for each 170ml of water or per cup. Tea should be stored in an airtight container at
room temperature to preserve its optimal taste.
Since the majority of the contents of a cup of tea is still water, it is imperative to start with
fresh cold water, filtered or bottled if possible. When filling your Cuisinart PerfecTemp
Teakettle with water, be sure not to exceed its maximum fill capacity. Refer to the maximum
fill line located on the base of the kettle’s handle that indicates its maximum capacity and do
not fill kettle higher than this level. Ensure that there is a sufficient amount of water in the
kettle when using over a heat source, so that it does not boil dry.
Once water has completed initial warm up with each use, the temperature gauge yields
quicker and therefore more precise readings. On initial (cold) start-up, overshoot desired
temperature by 10 degrees and reduce heat until dial reads desired temperature.
Subsequent heat ups from an elevated temperature state* are precise.
*An elevated temperature state is when indicator pin falls within blue shaded range of dial.
It is also important to preheat the teapot or cup in which the tea will be steeped, to optimise
extraction for the ideal tea flavour. If very hot or boiling water is poured into a cold teapot
or mug, the water’s temperature will immediately drop by several degrees and inhibit the
