Tea Insights

TEA TYPES
There are four main types of tea from the tea plant camellia sinensis. The picking and processing methods determine the type of tea finally produced.
Black Tea
Black tea is the most common type of tea worldwide. It is made by fermenting the harvested leaves for a couple of hours before heating or drying. This oxidation darkens the leaves and increases the amount of caffeine. Ofall the teas, black tea has the strongest colour and flavour.
White Tea
White tea is the rarest and the most exclusive tea. White tea consists of the whitish buds of the tea plant which are steamed then left to drynaturally. This tea is low in caffeine and has a slightly sweet flavour.
Green Tea
Green tea makes up approximately ten percent of the world’s tea. The leaves are picked, rolled and dried before they can go brown. Green tea has a distinctive aroma and has a slight astringent taste.
Oolong Tea
Oolong Tea is semi fermented, which means leaves are processed immediately after pickingThey only have a short period of oxidation which turns the leaves from green to red/ brown. Its leaves have a floral, fruity qualityand hence have a delicate fruity taste. It is recommended not to drink Oolong tea with milk, sugar or lemon.
Herbal Infusions or Tisanes
Herbal infused teas are not produced from the tea plant, but from flowers, leaves, roots or seeds. Common herbal beverages are chamomile, peppermint, fennel, rose hip, and lemon verbena.
Herbal infusions that do not contain tea will generally not become bitter with extended brews. These can often be brewed with boiling water 3 times without jeopardising the taste.
Blends
Tea producers make blends by combining different types of teas, often in order to achieve flavour consistency from one season to the next. Common black tea blends include English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Irish Breakfast, and Russian Caravan.
Brewed tea leaves make an ideal garden fertilizer and help condition the soil.
TEA STORAGE

  • Teas stored inside a vacuum sealed bag 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 it has 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 filtered water.
  •  Finer tea particles and leaves will infuse more quickly than whole leaves. As a result, finer tea particles often release too much tannin too quickly, creating a harsher taste. Adjust the brewing time until desired strength is achieved.

Suggested Water to Tea Ratio

CUPS / mL Tea (Teaspoons)
Approx. 2 Cups/500mL 2 tsp
Approx. 3 Cups/750mL 3 tsp
Approx. 4 Cups/1000mL 4 tsp
Approx. 5 Cups/1200mL 5 tsp

Descaling

After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the water flow, water temperature, power of the unit and the taste of the water.
For safe and efficient operation of your unit it is important to descale regularly.
Breville recommends conducting a descaling cycle no longer than 6 month intervals.
To assist, every 6 months , the LCD screen will display a DESCALE alert. Descaling is a 3 step process. Once the descale cycle is complete, 2 rinse cycles will follow.
DESCALE will flash on the LCD screen during the entire process.

  1. To descale, remove the water tanks from the base and remove the filter. Discard anyremaining water in the water tank.

  2. Place 100mLs of Breville descale solution into the water tank and fill with tap water to the marked DESCALE line (1L). Reassemble the water tank to the base. Turn the FUNCTION dial until the indicator reaches DESCALE.
    *Descale solutions sold separately.

  3. Remove the drip tray and place a 2L container under the spout. Press FUNCTION dial to start the descaling cycle. DESCALE on the LCD screen with begin to flash.

  4. Descaling is a 3 step process. Once the descale cycle is complete, 2 rinse cycles will follow. DESCALE will flash on the LCD screen during the entire process. During descaling, the 1L of water with added solution will dispense from the tank automatically. DESCALE will flash on the LCD screen.
    NOTE
    Following the descaling solution, 1 will appear on the LCD screen indicating 1st rinse cycle.

  5. Empty the 1L collection container and discard any remaining descale solution from the water tank. Fill water tank with tap water to the MAX line.
    Descaling water is not safe for plants, the descale solution is citric acid, Citric acid is below 4.0, meaning that it is acidic and potentially corrosive. Therefore, applying enough citric acid to a plant’s water or soil will create an environment unsuitable for the plant.

  6. Return water tank back to the base and place the 2L container under the spout.

  7. Press the FUNCTION dial to start 1st rinse.  1 on the LCD screen will begin to flash to indicate that the 1st cycle is in progress. Thewater will automatically dispense. \

  9. Empty the Changes: 2L collection container and then replace under the spout. Fill water tank with tap water to the MAX line. Press the FUNCTION dial once to start the 2nd rinse cycle. 2 will appear on the LCD screen to indicate that the 2nd cycle is in progress.
    NOTE
    The unit will automatically pause after dispensing 2L of water. Empty the 2L collection container and replace under the spout. Press FUNCTION dial once more to continue the 2nd rinse cycle.

  10. The unit will automatically pause after dispensing 2L of water. Empty the 2L collection container and replace under the spout. Press FUNCTION dial once more to continue the 2nd rinse cycle.

  11. Empty the 2L collection container and then replace under the spout. Return the filter into filter holder. Fill water tank with tap water to the MAX line. Press the FUNCTION dial once to start the 3rd rinse cycle. 3 will appear on the LCD screen to indicate that the 3rd cycle is in progress.
    NOTE
    The unit will automatically pause after dispensing 2L of water. Empty the 2L collection container and replace under the spout. Press FUNCTION dial once more to continue the 3rd rinse cycle.

  12. The unit will automatically stop rinsing and will sound a long beep once a sufficient amount of water has been dispensed. The unit will enter standby mode and DESCALE will no longer appear on the LCD screen.

  13. Remove and clean the drip tray and water tank.

NOTE

  • If descaling is required more regularly than when the auto DESCALE alert appears on the screen, press and hold the HOT button for 3 seconds for the word ‘DESCALE’ to appear on the screen, then follow descale steps 1-13.
  • DO NOT turn off the power during descaling
