10. The ideal steeping time is about 4 minutes
depending on the tea type. Follow the
recommendations of your tea provider. To
obtain a stronger tea use more tea but do
not extend the steeping time significantly
unless you prefer tea with an added tanning
(slightly bitter) taste. After extraction, slowly
press the plunger down into until it stops.
11.The tea is now ready to serve!
Tip: Alternatively if you wish to hold the tea hot
for more than 20-30 minutes, consider transferring the tea
to a vacuum thermal carafe which will retain its heat and
flavor for several hours .
