Tips For Optimal Tea Brewing - Breville BTM800XL Instruction Booklet

BEFORE FIRST USE

TIPS FOR OPTIMAL TEA BREWING

• Water quality affects taste. For best
results, use fi ltered water.
• Finer tea particles and leaves will infuse
more quickly than whole leaves. As a
result, fi ner tea particles often release
too much tannin too quickly, creating a
harsher taste. Adjust the brewing time
until desired strength is achieved.
• Using the tea scoop provided, spoon
roughly one scoop of tea per cup / 8oz
of water.
