Taylor 516 Clock User Manual


 
The Taylor® Tea Thermometer/Timer not only has the seven
preset temperatures with steeping times, but the unit can also be
set to your own steeping temperature and brewing time, so if
you do not wish to use the presets, please feel free to adjust to
your own taste. The seven kinds of tea included are just a good
starting point for the many varieties of tea available. According
to some sources, there exist over 2,100 varieties of the tea plant
(Camelia Sinensis), and there are also countless herbal blends
that contain no tea but are rich in other plants, including
hibiscus, jasmine, hawthorn, and chamomile. Counting in the
myriad of tea blends, tea-herbal combinations, tea-fruit-spice-
nut mixes, and the possibilities are endless. So you may want to
experiment and use different temperatures and times until your
brewed cup or pot of tea is perfect for you! So sit back and relax
with a perfect cup of tea!
There are seven factors that affect the quality of brewed tea:
! The quality of the tea
! The quality of the water
! Correct measurement
! Correct steeping time
! Allowing the tea leaf to fully expand
! Separating the leaf from the liquid at the end of the
steeping process
The unit can be used for both pouched/bagged or loose tea
leaves. So sit back, relax and make yourself a perfect cup of tea!
Included in these instructions is a space to keep records of
your own tea brewing times and temperatures.
Thank you for purchasing the Taylor® Tea Thermometer & Timer!
Tea brewing is based on a lot of different sources and we have tried
to incorporate temperatures and brewing times that most
connoisseurs of tea would recommend.
