Pour boiling water from the water tank<br />
over the tea.<br />
NOTE<br />
► The more tea leaves or tea bags and<br />
the less water you fill the teapot, the<br />
stronger the tea concentration will be<br />
(professionals enjoy an infusion with<br />
precise 2.86 g of tea in a cup). It is<br />
preferable to use slightly more tea so<br />
that a real concentration is produced<br />
in the teapot.<br />
Place the teapot with the tea concentration<br />
on the water tank again.<br />
The steam rising from the water tank<br />
keeps the tea in the teapot at exactly<br />
the temperature it needs to "steep".<br />
After the desired steeping time, serve<br />
the tea from the teapot.<br />
Pour the tea concentration from the<br />
teapot into your glass and top up with<br />
water from the water tank. This allows<br />
you to adjust the strength and taste of<br />
your tea.<br />
You can leave the teapot standing on<br />
the water tank while the appliance is<br />
in operation so that you can add hot<br />
tea and hot water at any time.<br />
Turn the rotary knob to intermittent<br />
boiling (a little higher than the HOT<br />
position but not until it stops) so that<br />
the water remains hot without continuing<br />
to boil. The indicator light goes on<br />
and off intermittently.<br />

Green tea<br />
Green tea can also be brewed in the<br />
Samovar. It should not normally be infused<br />
with boiling water since it may then taste<br />
slightly bitter. Depending on the type,<br />
the ideal water temperature is between<br />
50 °C – 70 °C. Most green teas develop<br />
their optimum taste at around 70° C. The<br />
higher the quality of the green tea, the<br />
lower the optimum water temperature.<br />
High-quality teas are brewed with hot water<br />
at a temperature between<br />
50 °C – 60 °C.<br />
Normal green teas need to steep for approximately<br />
1 - 3 minutes, whereas highquality<br />
green teas only need to steep for<br />
approximately 1 - 1½ minutes.<br />
NOTE<br />
► If you use tea bags, add the number<br />
as specified by the manufacturer.<br />
The amount of green tea is always less<br />
than black tea. Use roughly 1 g per 100 ml<br />
or 1 level teaspoon for 200 ml water. You<br />
can specify the strength of the concentration<br />
yourself.<br />
To brew green tea, proceed as follows:<br />
Boil the water in the water tank (see<br />
section Heating water, page 21).<br />
Warm up the cups by filling them with<br />
a little hot water (the teapot was already<br />
warmed up by placing it on the<br />
water tank during the boiling process).<br />
Turn the rotary knob to the (8) WARM<br />
position (according to the type of tea)<br />
and allow the water to cool down<br />
slightly (roughly 5 – 6 minutes).<br />
