Cleaning Your Kettle:

WARNING: Always unplug the product and allow it to cool before cleaning or storing. NOTICE: To avoid damaging the product, do not pour cold water into the Appliance after use and do not use abrasive cleaners/pads to clean any part of the product.

• Make sure the Kettle is empty and has had time to cool before handling it.

• Dry all parts thoroughly before storing or using again.

Descaling Your Kettle:

WARNING: Always unplug the product before any cleaning. Dry all parts after every use. Descale your kettle regularly to avoid tougher stains.

Descaling:

Descaling is the removal of mineral deposits from stainless steel. All water contains minerals including purified and filtered water. After your kettles first use you may see the first signs of deposits which may be white to reddish brown in color. These stains are not rust nor are they toxic.

Note: Reheating tea in your kettle may discolor or stain the stainless-steel surface at the base of the kettle.

To descale your kettle, fill a kettle full of water, add a small amount of white vinegar, and boil. Unplug the kettle and allow the solution to sit for an hour. For darker stains leave overnight. This will remove most deposits that have built up from normal use. Rinse out solution, add fresh water, and boil again. Allow to cool, follow with thorough cleaning, and dry before next use.

Have fun and get creative by pairing and heightening the fruity flavor of your teas.

Try to match your teas and fruits with similar flavor profile.

• Milkier oolongs will go better with fruits such as bananas and coconut.

• Dark chocolate black teas will be amazing with dried raisins.

• Lighter black teas with a hint of maltiness will go well with rich and sweet fruits like peaches or mangos.

• Green Tea: Japanese sencha pair with fresher and lighter ingredients such as strawberries or kiwi. Chinese sencha which is smokier and stronger, pair with stronger sweeter fruits: Strawberries, peaches, and mangos.
  • Lighter Pan-fired teas pair nicely with blueberries, raspberries, and dragon fruit.

Suggestions: Add fruit directly in with your loose tea by placing the fruit in first and then adding the loose tea into the infuser. Or you may add fruit in your cup prior to adding the hot tea.

Note: You may need to peel skin off some fruits and rinse before using. Let the tea and fruit seep for 1-2 minutes or longer for a fruitier flavor.

There are great companies that have a monthly subscription that sell loose leaf tea samples and pair with fruits. You simply create a tea profile, and they can personalize your preferences with the types of flavors and caffeine amounts you'll enjoy.

Enjoy the possibilities your new kettle will bring!
