On the purchase of your new Gourmet Tea Advanced Automatic
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 first picked Japanese Green
tea 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 specific water temperatures and controlled brew times
to allow their unique flavour 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 a better flavoured
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 Gourmet Tea Advanced Automatic
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.
