THE ART of STEEPING TEA
True tea lovers take great care when preparing their choice of tea. Achieving a specific tea’s unique character in each cup is a true art. The temperature needs to be just right. The amount of tea needs to be just right. And the steeping time needs to be just right. When the temperature is matched to a particular tea, and steeping is done correctly, tea lovers will savor and appreciate all of that tea’s naturally aromatic flavors and health benefits. Refer to the chart below for our recommendations. But remember, tastes and teas vary; you can always adjust them to your personal preference. Enjoy!

1. To achieve the inital Steeping Temperature, press the “FUNCTION” button 4 times to activate the WARM mode.
2. Set the desired Steeping Temperature by using the UP or Down arrows. The left side of the screen will display the actual temperature.
3. While waiting for the water to reach desired temperature, fill the Steeping Basket with the amount of tea indicated.
4. When the desired temperature is reached you may begin Steeping. Press the Automatic Switch button on the handle to open the lid. Keep hands away from opening as the vapor could be very hot. Carefully insert Steeping Basket into the opening on the Kettle. (Padded gloves may be indicated as the vapor around the opening could be very hot). Close the lid.
5. Allow the tea to Steep as indicated on the chart below.
6.  Remove the Steeping Basket.

The most accepted formula for most teas is to add 1 teaspoon or bag of tea per cup of water. However, some herbal blends can benefit from a bit more tea. When making a full pot, an extra teaspoonful is recommended.
