Tips for First Use

Get Your Tea Maker Ready
If you are using this Tea Maker for the first time, it is recommended to fill and boil 57oz (1.7 L, the maximum for boiling water) then drain the water one to two times before making tea.

NOTE:

1. The minimum capacity is 17oz (0.5 L of water). The maximum capacity for brewing tea is 34oz (1.0 L) while the maximum capacity for boiling water is 57oz(1.7 L ).
2. Do NOT fill the water over the maximum level or water may spill out of the spout when boiling.
3. The heating will slow down as it approaches the desired temperature to prevent overheating.

The Art of Steeping Tea
Great care is taken to create each tea’s unique character. When the temperature is suited to the particular tea and the steeping time is perfect, tea lovers can savor and appreciate all of the tea’s naturally aromatic flavors and health benefits. Refer to the chart below for our recommendations. You can also adjust to your personal preference. Enjoy!
For most teas, the best recipe is 1 teaspoon (about 6 g) of loose tea leaves or 1 teabag per cup (8 oz) of water. Some herbal blends can benefit from a bit more. When making a full pot, we suggest an extra teaspoonful or tea bag.

The Health Benefits of Tea
Many kinds of tea are brimming with healthful benefits like natural vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Drinking any tea rehydrates the body, and its antioxidants may offer protection against a wide range of diseases. A cup of tea can be a gentle start to the day, a soothing mid-afternoon break, or a comfortable way to unwind and relax each evening – it all adds up to a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
