CONGRATULATIONS

On the purchase of your new Breville Tea Maker

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 Greentea 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 abetter 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.

BEFORE FIRST USE

TEA TYPES
There are four main types of teas from thetea plant camellia sinensis. The picking and processing methods determine the type of tea fi nally produced.

1. Black Tea
   Black tea is the most common type oftea worldwide. It is made by fermentingthe harvested leaves for a couple ofhours before heating or drying. Thisoxidation darkens the leaves andincreases the amount of caffeine. Of allthe teas, black tea has the strongest color and fl avor.

2. White Tea
   White tea is the rarest and the mostexclusive tea. White tea consists of the whitish buds of the tea plant which are steamed then left to dry naturally. This tea is low in caffeine and has a slightly sweet fl avor.

3. Green Tea
   Green tea makes up approximately ten percent of the world’s tea. Theleaves are picked, rolled and dried before they can go brown. Green tea has a distinctive aroma and has a slight astringent taste.

4. Oolong Tea
   Oolong Tea is semi fermented, which means leaves are processed immediately after picking. They only have a short period of oxidation which turns the leaves from green to red/ brown. Its leaves have a fl oral, fruity quality and hence have a delicate fruity taste. It is recommended not to drink Oolong tea with milk, sugar or lemon

5. Herbal infusions or Tisanes
   Herbal infused teas are not producedfrom the tea plant, but from fl owers,leaves, roots or seeds. Common herbalbeverages are chamomile, peppermint, fennel, rose hip, and lemon verbena. Herbal infusions that do not contain tea will generally not become bitterwith extended brews. These can often be brewed with boiling water 3 times without jeopardizing the taste.

6. Blends
   Tea producers make blends by combining different types of teas, often in order to achieve fl avor consistency from one season to the next. Commonblack tea blends include English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Irish Breakfast, and Russian Caravan.

TIP:
Brewed tea leaves make an ideal garden fertilizer and help condition the soil.

TEA STORAGE

• Teas stored inside a vacuum sealedbag can be stored for up to two years, depending on the quality and grade of tea. Once opened, tea should be stored in an airtight container and kept in a dry and dark place.
• Once opened, black teas will last longer than green and oolong teas but all tea needs to be stored in ideal conditions.
• You can tell when tea is past its best if ithas lost its aroma and will create either a bitter or dull tasting cup

TIPS FOR OPTIMAL TEA BREWING

• Water quality affects taste. For best results, use fi ltered water.
• Finer tea particles and leaves will infuse more quickly than whole leaves. As aresult, fi ner tea particles often release too much tannin too quickly, creating a harsher taste. Adjust the brewing time until desired strength is achieved.
• Using the tea scoop provided, spoon roughly one scoop of tea per cup / 8oz of water.

Water to Tea Scoop Ratio

PREPARING THE TEA MAKER FOR USE

In order to remove any dust or protective residues from the manufacturing process, it is recommended to run a boiling cycle then discard the water

2. Alternatively, the Jug Lid is dishwasher safe. Position the Jug Lid vertically so the scale fi lter is facing upwards. This will allow water to drain properly.
3. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to using.

Cleaning the Glass Jug

1. After each use, empty the Glass Jug.Do not allow brewed tea to stand overnight.

2. Wipe the interior of the Glass Jug witha soft damp sponge or rinse with warmwater. Tea deposits will enhance the flavor of the brewed tea, so if only using as a Tea Maker do not washwith soapy water.

3. Wipe the exterior of the Glass Jug with a soft damp cloth to clean.
   NEVER IMMERSE OR WASH EXTERIOR OF GLASS JUG UNDER RUNNING WATER
   NOTE:
   Do not use chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the Glass Jug as these may scratch the surface.

4. To remove the build-up of tannin, the astringent chemical constituentof tea, fi ll the Glass Jug with water up to the water maximum mark (1500mL WATER MAX) and either:
   a ) Add the juice of one lemon, as well as the lemon and boil. Leave to soak overnight then discard the solution.Fill the Glass Jug with clean water, boil, then discard the water. Repeat if necessary.
