Place the teapot with the tea con-
centrate on the water tank again.
The steam rising from the water tank
keeps the tea in the teapot at exactly
the temperature it needs to "steep".
After the desired steeping time, pour
the tea from the teapot.
Pour the tea concentrate from the
teapot into your glass and top up with
water from the water tank. This allows
you to adjust the strength and taste of
your tea.
You can leave the teapot standing on
the water tank while the appliance is
in operation so that you can add hot
tea and hot water at any time.
Move the rotary switch to intermittent
boiling
so that the water remains
hot but does not constantly boil. The
indicator lamp (14) switches on and
off according to the heating cycle.
Green tea
Green tea can also be brewed in the
Samovar. It should not normally be infused
with boiling water since it may then taste
slightly bitter. Depending on the type, the
ideal water temperature is between 50 °C
and 70 °C. Most green teas develop their
optimum taste at around 65 °C. The higher
the quality of the green tea, the lower the
optimum water temperature. The highest
quality teas are brewed with hot water at a
temperature of approx. 65 °C.
Normal green teas need to steep for ap-
proximately 1 - 3 minutes, whereas high-
quality green teas only need to steep for
approximately 1 - 1½ minutes.

NOTE
►
If you use tea bags, add the number
as specified by the manufacturer.
The amount of green tea is always less
than black tea. Use roughly 1 g per 100 ml
or 1 level teaspoon for 200 ml water. You
can specify the strength of the concentra-
tion yourself.
To brew green tea, proceed as follows:
Boil the water in the water tank (see
section Heating water, page 22).
Warm up the cups by filling them with
a little hot water (the teapot was al-
ready warmed up by placing it on the
water tank during the boiling process).
Turn the rotary switch (8) to the
position (depending on the type of
tea) and allow the water (roughly 5 – 6
minutes) to cool slightly.
Now pour hot water from the water
tank over the tea.
Place the teapot onto the water tank
as previously described so that the
tea remains hot and continue accord-
ing to the instructions for brewing
black tea (see section Black tea,
page 23).
