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. Of all 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 dry naturally. 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 picking. They only have a short
period of oxidation which turns the
leaves from green to red/brown. Its
leaves have a floral, fruity quality and
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.
TIP
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.
TEA INSIGHTS
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.
• Using the tea scoop provided, use
roughly one scoop of tea per cup/250ml
of water.

CARE, CLEANING
& STORAGE
CARE, CLEANING & STORAGE
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 with
a soft damp sponge or rinse with warm
water. Tea deposits will enhance the
flavour of the brewed tea, so if only
using as a Tea Maker™ do not wash
with soapy water.
3. Wipe the exterior of the glass jug with
a soft damp cloth to clean.
WARNING
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 constituent
of tea, fill the glass jug with water up
to the water maximum mark (1500mL
WATER MAX) and either:
a) Bring water to boil and allow water to
cool for one minute. Add contents of
tea cleaner packet and allow to stand for
5 minutes. Empty tea maker, refill with
fresh water and boil. Once again, empty
the tea maker, refill with fresh water
and boil. Empty tea maker and rinse
thoroughly.
b) 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.
or,
c) Add 6 tablespoons of white vinegar
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.
4. Dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth
before using.
NOTE
Through regular use over time, scale
build-up can affect the performance
and the life of the Tea Maker™. Lime
and phosphate are common forms
of scale that can damage your Tea
Maker™. Lime scale, a harmless
mineral, comes in the appearance of
white-coloured or rusty looking build
up on the inner walls and inner base
of the glass jug. Phosphate scale can’t
be seen, however, it can cause the
water to appear cloudy when heated.
To prevent scale from damaging your
Tea Maker™, ensure to de-scale the
glass jug regularly. Use a commercial
de-scaling agent and follow the
instructions that come with the agent.

30
CARE, CLEANING & STORAGE
Ensure the Tea Maker™ is turned OFF by
pressing the TEA|Cancel button (when
brewing tea) or the HOT WATER|Cancel
button (when heating water) on the power
base. The Tea Maker™ is OFF when the
button surround illumination goes out.
Remove the power plug from the wall outlet.
NOTE
Allow all parts of the Tea Maker™to
cool completely before disassembling
and cleaning.
NOTE
Only the jug lid, tea basket, tea basket
lid and tea scoop are dishwasher safe.
WARNING
Never immerse the BASE OF THE
GLASS JUG, POWER BASE, POWER
CORD or POWER PLUG in water or
allow moisture to come in contact with
these parts.
CLEANING THE JUG LID AND
INTEGRATED SCALE FILTER
1. Wash the jug lid in warm soapy water
with a soft sponge, rinse and dry
thoroughly. The integrated scale filter
can be cleaned by placing under running
hot water and rubbing with a cleaning
cloth or brush.
2. Alternatively, the jug lid is dishwasher
safe. Position the jug lid vertically so the
scale filter is facing upwards. This will
allow water to drain properly.
3. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior
to using.
CLEANING THE TEA BASKET LID,
TEA BASKET AND TEA SCOOP
1. Wash the tea basket lid, tea basket and
tea scoop in warm soapy water with a
soft sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly.
A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild
spray solution may be used to avoid
build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to
the sponge, not the accessory surfaces,
before cleaning.
2. Alternatively, these accessories are
dishwasher safe.
3. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior
to using.
CLEANING THE POWER BASE
1. Wipe the power base with a soft
damp sponge.
2. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior
to inserting the power plug into a
wall outlet.
STORAGE
1. Ensure the Tea Maker™ is switched off,
cleaned and dried before storing.
2. Ensure that the assembled tea basket is
securely attached to the magnetic post
within the glass jug.
3. Ensure that jug lid is securely
in place.
