No Risk of Over-Steeping

The Nesco Real Tea Maker is a must have for any tea lover. It's perfect for making tea without the risk of over-steeping.

A walk through the various components of the Tea Maker:

• On top is the boiler, where the water heats for the tea.
• Under that is where you put the tea leaves, and is the first stage that the hot water drops into, in order for the tea to infuse into the water and steep
• Under that is the carafe, where the infused tea drops into, and which you use to pour yourself a perfect cup.
• Below the teapot is a heating plate which keeps the remaining tea warm while you are sipping your previous cup. (This part is very similar to a coffee maker).

This tea maker has settings on the side for steeping times that will work starting from 2 minutes up to as long as 16 minutes.

Most teas are brewed for 4-6 minutes. The longer you brew the more bitter the taste can become (depending on which tea variety/blend you're using).

The really nice thing about this tea maker is that it's all automatic, so you can just leave it to do its work brewing, and come back to it when you're ready.

NOTE: This is the only tea maker currently on the market that works at high altitudes.
