Your Teforia traveled a long way to get to you. It should be
cleaned before infusing the rst Carafe. Remove the tape
holding the Water Reservoir in place. Lift it out of your
Teforia using the handle located under the lid. Use mild dish
soap (fragrance-free is preferred) and warm water to clean the
Carafe, Infusion Globe, and Water Reservoir.

Overall Care and Maintenance for your Teforia Infuser
Care Instructions
Daily Cleaning for your Teforia Infuser
Caring for your Teforia infuser is easy. After infusing, please
blot dry the top and bottom of the Nest. Also dry the
underside of the Infusion Arm.*
*Note: The parts that need to be blotted dry are black in color.
Page 45
Caring for Teforia Infuser 43
• Between infusions of teas within the same varietal, clean with a simple warm water rinse.
• When switching teas with distinctive avors, we recommend cleaning with fragrance-free soap and the Teforia brush.
• It is important to remove wet tea leaves from the globe as soon as you’re done infusing. Leaving wet leaves for too long may encourage mold to grow.
• Before cleaning, please remove the lter.
• Clean weekly to maintain overall system freshness.
• To remove, open the lid on the top of the Teforia, and pull
up on the handle.
• To keep the Teforia looking spotless, use water and the microber cloth to wipe down the exterior.

A Sensory Experience
The tea making experience taps into all senses—the smell
of the leaves, the sound of trickling water, and the sight of
the leaves slowly unfolding. Our design respects this. The
transparent Infusion Globe and Carafe let you watch the
leaves dance as they transform the clear water into a richly
hued tea liquor. The Teforia removes manual error and
guesswork—but not the enjoyment—from tea preparation.
The Perfect Cup of Tea
Microinfusions for Elevated Flavor
What makes the Teforia dierent is a process called
“microinfusion.” Rather than infusing the leaves just once,
the Teforia performs three to ve small infusions. These
microinfusions accentuate desirable features while suppressing
bitterness and astringency. The result is a rich, multi-layered
liquor with an immense complexity of avor.
Page 47
Caring for Teforia Infuser 45
A Moment of Reection
From the moment you select a tea to the very last sip,
everything is working together to put the moment at the
center of your experience.
World-Class Recipes
We’ve spent years working with tea masters and growers to
develop the best recipes for coaxing rich and layered avors
from every varietal of tea.
Your Teforia comes with hundreds of recipes, and when a
new recipe is crafted, it is pushed to your infuser instantly
via the cloud.
Page 48
Infusion Globe
The Infusion Globe is also double-layer insulated. The inside
is borosilicate glass, which is resistant to stain and aroma. The
Infusion Globe ensures that the tea leaves and liquor never
touch anything but glass, keeping the infusion process pure.
Just like the Carafe, the Infusion Globe is surrounded with
high-impact plastic, making it extremely durable.
Thoughtful Design
Teforia Carafe
The Teforia Carafe is designed to be functional art—as
beautiful on the infuser as it is on any dining table. It has
stain-resistant borosilicate glass on the inside and BPA-free
high-impact plastic on the outside to withstand daily use. The
double-layer insulated design can hold the tea at temperature
for up to an hour—and you’ll never burn your hands.
Page 49
Page 50
Teforia Sips
Teforia teas are packaged in perfectly portioned containers
called Sips that are recyclable and 90% compostable. Each
Sips lid contains an RFID tag that allows the infuser to
automatically recognize what kind of tea you’re infusing.
Eco-friendly
100% recyclable, 90% compostable
to minimize environmental impact and maintain sustainability.
Smart Tech Integration Encoded with detailed tea
information including terroir, harvest season, packing date, and master- crafted recipes for perfect infusions.
Resilient Packaging
Specially designed and constructed
containers protect and preserve the precious tea leaves inside.

Although the Teforia’s glassware is highly stain resistant, do not leave tea or wet tea leaves in the
glassware for an extended period of time. Do not let used tea leaves sit in the globe for more than
two hours as you may encourage mold to grow.
As with all double-walled glassware, the Carafe and Infusion Globe should be hand washed and not
placed in the dishwasher. The advanced design of our Carafe and Infusion Globe means a simple
warm water rinse will keep the two items clean between infusions. However, you can use a mild detergent
and warm water with the included soft bristle brush as needed.
Dry the Carafe and Infusion Globe gently with a microfiber cloth (or air dry) completely before returning
them to your Teforia.

If you are planning on infusing multiple Carafes in quick succession, we recommend using the provided

Like most double-walled vessels, our Carafe and Infusion Globe are not dishwasher safe because leaks
can form and create condensation between the layers. However, the Carafe and Infusion Globe are easy
to care for, needing only a quick rinse with warm water after each use. If necessary, you can use a small
amount of natural dishwashing liquid with the cleaning brush provided with the set.

Sometimes, after multiple, back-to-back infusions, water can accumulate under the Infusion Globe on the
nest. Likewise, if there is sitting water, it can sometimes also bubble slightly because of the air pushed

Using your own tea is only available if you own the Teforia Classic infuser.
We have experimented with more than 1,000 teas and tisanes, and 4 grams is the amount that we are
most comfortable recommending that you use to avoid any kind of overflow in the Infusion Globe.
You are more than welcome to experiment with 4.5 or 5 grams of your tea or tisane,* but please be
conscious of the possibility that there may be spillage over the top of the Infusion Globe.
*N
ote: Especially with tisanes, or herbal infusions, we recommend using 4 grams because the rate of
expansion for the herbs, leaves, and spices can be unpredictable.
CCan I change the infusan I change the infusion temperature?ion temperature?
Our tea recipes, including the infusion temperature, are proprietary. The changes that are made to
differentiate each tea recipe take into account any number of a dozen variables. At this time, we do not
have plans to make the specific infusion temperature manually adjustable, because our recipes were
crafted with tea masters and artisans and take into account terroir, seasonality, and so much more.

After starting the infusion process with the app or a Sips, the Carafe should fill with 6-12 ounces of liquid
depending on the type of tea. If the Infusion Globe is filling properly, but not decanting to the Carafe with a
steady stream, it is possible the Infusion Globe needs to be cleaned. To do this we recommend using the
small brush located in the handle of the larger brush we sent with the infuser to clean any tea leaves stuck
in the Infusion Globe. After you do this please run a cleaning cycle to help flush the unit and help clean
the Infusion Globe and then run another infusion.

CCan I reusan I reuse tea leave tea leaveses?? How many times times??
You will be able to generate multiple Carafes from a single Sips container, with some exceptions. Although
we recommend 2-3 Carafes across the board per Sips, some teas, like Ryokucha, for example, can only
be infused once. This tea comprises toasted brown rice, steamed green tea, and matcha green tea
powder, and the matcha powder dissolves in the first infusion.
When using your own tea, the number of Carafes you can infuse depends on the quality of your leaves,
and we invite you to experiment.
DDo o I I need need mulmultiple tiple CCarafesarafes and and InfusInfusion ion GlobesGlobes to prepare difto prepare different teasferent teas??
We carefully curated special materials to minimize aroma and flavor crossover. With proper care, one
Carafe and Infusion Globe set can be used for many different type of teas.
For the discerning tea drinker who prefers different tea sets for different types of tea, we invite you to have
multiple sets. In fact, having multiple sets is useful when you want to sample different teas at the same
time.

HHow do I connect my infuser to WiFi?ow do I connect my infuser to WiFi?
The Teforia infusers use WiFi to connect with the internet and the Teforia app on your phone. You will be
prompted to setup your infusers WiFi connection when you first setup your infuser in the Teforia app.
Some items worth noting:
1. When first turning on your Infuser, the Leaf LED will flash light-blue until you have the finished
configuring the WiFi.
2. Your phone and Teforia must be on the same WiFi network in order for your app to communicate
with the app.
3. The Teforia Infuser currently only supports 802.11 a/b/g/n support, WPA encryption, and WPA2
encryption. It does not support WEP encryption or networks where the SSID is not broadcast. WEP
was phased out in 2011 by the WiFi governing body due to major security issues.
4. The MAC address may not be printed on the machine or box, if you use MAC address whitelisting as
a method for securing your WiFi, you will need to temporarily turn it off and go into your router's
management portal to get the MAC address in order to add it to your whitelist. Once added you can
turn MAC-based whitelisting back on.
5. Router guest networks are firewalled, so guest devices can't talk to other devices in the network,
which prevent communication between the Teforia app and the infuser. We do not recommend using
a guest network for this very reason.
To connect your Teforia to WiFi:
Please make sure Bluetooth is "on" on your mobile device and that you have the
Teforia companion app downloaded.
Open the Teforia app and complete the login process.
The next screen will ask you to select your infuser. The infuser will show as a serial number ending
in 501 that is connected via Bluetooth.
Note: If you don't see your infuser, please turn your machine off and on again. Then, start again.
The app should prompt you to connect the infuser to wifi. The app will automatically connect using
the wifi that your phone is connected to, so if you want to use a different wifi connection, please
enter that now.
The app should successfully connect. The app should notify you of a successful connection, and you
can now continue the First-Time Use setup process.

The Carafe is designed to hold two perfect servings of every tea. Many of our teas are designed to brew a
12 ounce Carafe from 4 grams of tea to produce two 6 ounce servings. Some of the teas in our collection,
however, have been crafted by their tea master to produce an 8 or 10 ounce Carafe (thus producing two 4
or 5 ounce servings, respectively). On the "Tea Details" page in our shop, we identify the number of
Carafes and serving size each tea yields.
Also, it is important to note that after each Carafe, the tea leaves absorb and retain liquid, so the volume
of tea may be slightly more or just under the serving size.

infuser and the infuser will need to be connected to your WiFi network. We encourage you to connect
your infuser whether you own the Classic or the Leaf to the WiFi as we are constantly updating our recipes
and adding new teas to our portfolio to deliver the perfect cup of tea each time. In addition we also will
periodically send software updates to the infuser to deliver new features and fix any bugs.

ttrraaddiittiioonnaall tteeaa mmaakkiinngg m
meetthhooddss??
There are several things that make the Teforia infusers stand out. The first and most obvious is its design.
It was designed and built specifically to infuse loose leaf tea. Most tea-making machines on the market
today simply replicate the standard, manual process of a tea bag or adding tea to hot water.
The Teforia's design evolves this process based on the understanding we've acquired on precisely how
g
reat tea is made. Because of this, the tea made by the Teforia really is different than what you're used to,
even if you've been a tea drinker all your life.
Here's why:
The proprietary Teforia Selective Infusion Profile System ("Teforia SIPS" ™) brings out the best
in flavor and complexity to produce tea like you've never tasted before. Using Teforia SIPS ™
the infuser automatically determines the best brewing recipe, crafted in collaboration with tea
masters, tea growers, and scientists.
The use of microinfusions leverage our proprietary SIPS™ technology to extract different layers
of flavors with each microinfusion to create a multi-layered brew that carries an immense depth
of flavor, making it perfect for sharing. Traditional methods can only extract the simplest flavor.
The machine creates the perfectly balanced cup of tea at the touch of a button, while
eliminating unwanted elements like astringency
or bitterness.
The machine has precision control over the process, but allows the user to customize each
drink to their palate and preferences.
For the first time, the Teforia provides control over the amount of caffeine in your beverage.
Teforia brings the mystery and ritual of tea brewing center stage and allows you to immerse
yourself and reflect as the water and tea transform right before your eyes.

Brewing the best cup of tea possible requires unique knowledge of how the tea was grown, the terroir in
which it was grown, when and how it was harvested, how it has been treated, and how it should be
served. A tea master is someone who collects and understands that breadth of knowledge for a range of
teas from a specific region. With the level of care and detail it requires to study and understand all of
t
hese elements, each tea master is limited to the number of teas for which they hold such expert
knowledge.
When you observe a tea master infusing tea, you will see the tea master is constantly monitoring the
infusion progress with her senses. It’s as much a labor of love as it is expertise and a lifetime of
experience. Teforia is unprecedented in the tea world, because we have leveraged the power of
t
echnology to harness the knowledge from the world’s tea masters and make it accessible to everyone.
The Teforia infuser uses microinfusions to extract different layers of flavors to create a multi-layered brew
that carries an immense depth of flavor, making it perfect for sharing. Teforia is like having the world’s tea
masters at your fingertips to brew the perfect cup, every time.

We use “Pandora-style learning" — basically, the more you use your infuser, the more it learns about you,
which allows the system to adjust to suit your tastes. The system will begin to learn your preferences
based on the teas you drink and the customization types you use most frequently.
For instance, if you tend to enjoy oolong teas with high caffeine levels, the system will recommend
teas with a similar profile that you may not be familiar with. The same goes for your personal tea
recipes. If you typically customize your tea to have more of a smoky flavor, the Teforia will help you bring
out that flavor in other teas, if you choose.

HHow do the Teforia infusers make "the perfectow do the Teforia infusers make "the perfect

Teforia infusers identify a variety of essential variables in tea brewing, including (but not limited to)
steeping time, infusion temperature, ratio of tea leaves to water, and number of infusions. These are all
taken into account with respect to each specific tea’s shape and varietal properties, as well the terroir
of
where the tea was grown, when creating the recipe with the tea master or grower.
When using a Teforia Classic with your own tea, you need to add the tea first through the app by
answering a few simple questions about the tea (shape, color, etc). We use the answers to pull the perfect
recipe.
This process allows the Teforia Classic to bring out the full breadth of flavor for each tea, producing a
much r
icher beverage than conventional methods.
The best instructions for how a particular tea is meant to be enjoyed come from the tea growers
themselves — they know the land, the environment, and how the tea has been cultivated, treated and
prepared every step of the way, in some cases for generations. We’ve had countless conversations with
tea masters in the mountains of India and Taiwan, to make sure e
ach tea recipe is perfect and according
to their standards. From there, we've spent years of heads-down research on the science and technology
needed to brew that cup — automatically and perfectly every time.

SIPS™ is the name of our proprietary technology. It stands for Selective Infusion Profile System, and it’s
the magic behind the Teforia’s ability to unlock and maximize every tea’s flavor and health benefits.
Sips is the name of our tea containers. Why Sips? You sip tea. It’s part of the experience of enjoying tea.
With a freshly brewed cup of perfectly infused tea, you sip in and savor your tea’s flavor and aroma.
The typical Sips container holds 4 grams of loose leaf tea, although some may contain less or more
depending on the tea master's recipe. With Sips, there is no guesswork or measuring — you just scan,
open, explore, and infuse.
Our “smart” Sips containers protect tea from air and light in order to avoid further oxidation after they
have been packaged.
Each Carafe holds two perfect servings of tea.
Before infusing, open the Sips container and touch, smell, and sip in the all-natural, whole-leaf tea
leaves.
Our Sips are 100 percent recyclable and 90 percent compostable. The container itself is made of
injection-molded paper. The label is non-compostable and contains an RFID chip.
Embrace your green by recycling your Sips containers locally and using the provided envelope to

We understand the reference to Keurig and Nespresso, and in terms of convenience and ease, it's
accurate. However, we have a very different "pod" philosophy because we don't cook or brew in the pods
themselves.
Teforia teas are packaged in “smart” containers called Sips that protect the tea from air and light in order
to avoid further oxidation after they have been packaged. Likewise, our Sips are designed to maintain the
int
egrity of each tea: each whole-leaf loose tea has room to move freely and not get crushed. This allows
you to see, smell, and touch the leaves before you pour them into the Infusion Globe for brewing.
The Teforia infuser experience is designed to be transparent; we don't hide the quality of our ingredients or
withhold the pleasure of seeing the leaves before, during, and after brewing.
A
lso, unlike Keurig and Nespresso pods, all of our Sips containers are 100 percent recyclable and 90
percent compostable. We are also very conscious of our environmental footprint and only work with tea
farmers committed to ethically-sourced, all-natural teas.

With our infusrs, certain teas can be infused "cold". This is more commonly known in the coffee world as
"cold brewing," and it involves a slow process of extracting flavors using room temperature.
Unlike traditional infusion methods, which rely on hot water to quickly extract flavors from tea leaves, cold
infusion provides the ability to extract a different chemical makeup from tea leaves. With cold infusion,
there tends to be less caffeine and fewer catechines, which can decrease bitterness.

and aromas, while suppressing the undesired.
The seven parameters Teforia controls : temperature, ti

aeration, rest time and dynamic temperature. Each varietal
of tea requires specific care to ensure your
