oPtImal BrEWIng
Tea varieties are grown and produced in
many different environments and require
different water temperatures to allow their
unique flavour and aroma to develop during
brewing. To bring out the optimal quality
and taste of more delicate tea leaves, a lower
temperature will produce a better flavoured
cup of tea. For example, steeping green,
white or oolong teas in boiling water may
scald the tea leaves and result in a bitter,
astringent brew.
Brewing the tea for too long may also result
in a bitter, unpleasant taste, while brewing
for too short a period may leave the tea
bland. For best results always follow the
specific directions on the tea/coffee packet.
To bring out the optimal taste and quality of
your favourite tea or coffee, we recommend
that you use your new appliance at the
suggested temperature for your selected tea
or coffee.
The Variable Temperature Control Table
on page 11 provides a guide to a range of
tea and coffee varieties and the
recommended temperature to select on
the control panel of the Sage™ by Heston
Blumenthal‰ Product.
KEEP Warm fUnCtIon
The Sage™ by Heston Blumenthal‰ Product
offers a convenient KEEP WARM function
that can be used before, during or on
completion of the water heating cycle. When
the water has reached the selected Celsius
temperature, the KEEP WARM function
will hold the selected temperature for 20
minutes. If the 100° button is selected when
using the KEEP WARM function, the boiled
water will remain at approximately 95°
Celsius for 20 minutes.
