Two ways of making tea:
A. Brewing black tea WITHOUT tannin as well as green tea, herbal tea and fruit tea. If any tea leaves, they will remain in the pot. This way, the tea can infuse optimally, and the leaves are then strained off automatically when pouring.
B. Tea leaves WITH tannin are placed in the filter holder and once brewed, the plunger is fully depressed, thereby stopping the brewing process. You can control how strong or weak you want your tea to be without having to take the tea out.
It is also possible to make half a jug as the filter extends right down to the bottom The jug features a patented filter system, a 100% drop-free pouring lip and a flip-top lid which opens automatically when pouring.
