Tips

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.

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.

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 steeping time until desired strength is achieved.
• Use roughly one teaspoon of tea per cup/250ml of water.

Care & Cleaning

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.
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.

Prohibition sign showing a building with a checkered pattern, enclosed in a circle (no text or symbols)

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.

1. To remove the build-up of tannin, the astringent chemical constituent of tea, fill the glass jug with water up to the MAX mark and bring water to boil and allow water to cool for one minute. Add contents of Breville Tea Maker Cleaner (available at Breville web page) and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Empty Breville Smart Tea Infuser™, refill with fresh water and boil. Repeat this step again. Empty the Breville Smart Tea Infuser™ and rinse thoroughly.

2. 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 Breville Smart Tea Infuser™. Lime and phosphate are common forms of scale that can damage your Breville Smart Tea Infuser™. 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 Breville Smart Tea Infuser™, ensure to descale the glass jug regularly. Use Breville Descaler (available at Breville web page) and follow the instructions.

NOTE

Allow all parts of the Breville Smart Tea Infuser™ to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.

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.

2. Alternatively, the outer lid is dishwasher safe.
3. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to using.

CLEANING THE BASKET

1. Wash the inner lid and tea basket 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. The tea basket is dishwasher safe, but the inner lid is not.
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.
