Product Description Perfectly brew all types of tea with Eva Solo’s award winning tea maker. As a beverage, tea is an easy drink to make. Leaf tea or herbs are covered with hot water and allowed to brew until the flavor has infused into the water. However, with some types of tea, the leaves have to be removed from the water once brewing is complete. The Eva Solo tea brewer solves this problem simply and elegantly.
Tea was first discovered in China and originally consumed as a medicinal drink as long ago as 200 BC. Traditional black tea comes from the top leaves of the tea plant which are cut and dried. Herbal teas on the other hand can be a mix of many different herbs and plant parts. In the seventeenth century, bitter Indian tea containing tannin appeared on the market as a supplement to the milder Chinese teas which contain no tannin.
As tea leaves react differently to hot water, it is important that the correct method of brewing is used for the respective tea type. Basically, tea can be brewed in two different ways. Tea without tannin should be able to circulate freely within the teapot – this applies to all teas from China, Taiwan and Japan which do not contain tannin. However, tea with tannin – i.e. tea which quickly becomes dark and bitter – must only be allowed to remain in the water for the specific infusion time. Eva Solo’s tea maker embraces these two different approaches and has been designed to allow all types of tea to be made in the same flask.
If it is necessary to stop the tea from brewing beyond the infusion time, place the leaf tea in the filter and pour in the boiling water. Once the infusion time is up, fully depress the plunger, thereby nearly stopping the brewing. For best results, simply lift to remove the filter and discard the used tea leaves. If, on the other hand, you are making tea which does not contain tannin, place the leaf tea directly in the glass flask, pour in the water and finally fit the filter. With this method, the tea leaves are retained by the filter when the tea is poured.
The flask comes with its own neoprene cover and is also fitted with Eva Solo’s patented drip-free pouring lip. The ingenious tip-up lid opens automatically when pouring. Regardless of your choice of tea, the Eva Solo tea brewer always produces the best results. No wonder this tea maker has garnered so many prestigious design awards!
