BEFORE FIRST USE OF YOUR BREVILLE TEA MAKER™

TEA TYPES

There are four main types of teas from the tea plant camellia sinensis. The picking and processing methods determine the type of tea ﬁnally produced.

Black Tea

1. 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 color and ﬂavor.

White Tea

2. 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 ﬂavor.

Green Tea

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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 jeopardizing the taste.

Blends

6. Tea producers make blends by

combining different types of teas, often in order to achieve ﬂavor 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.

BTM800XL_IB_F11.indd 11 27/04/11 1:24 PM

BEFORE FIRST USE OF YOUR BREVILLE TEA MAKER™

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, spoon

roughly one scoop of tea per cup / 8oz / 250ml of water.
