Cuisinart TEA-100 ユーザーズマニュアル

The origins of tea can be traced back nearly 

5,000 years to a legendary emperor of 

China, an herbalist. It is believed that leaves 

from twigs he was burning floated into a 

kettle of boiling water. Thus tea was born 

and soon flourished throughout southern 

Asia. As trade routes expanded, tea made 

its way to the West, and today is enjoyed 

around the world.

.

Many teas are brimming with healthful 

benefits like natural vitamins, minerals,  

and antioxidants. Drinking any tea 

rehydrates the body, and its antioxidants 

may offer protections against a wide range 

of diseases. A cup of tea can be a gentle 

start to the day, a soothing mid-afternoon 

break, or a comfortable way to unwind  

and relax each evening – it all adds up  

to a healthy mind, body, and spirit.

Great care is taken to create each tea’s unique character. When the temperature is suited to 

the particular tea, and steeping time is perfect, tea lovers can savor and appreciate all of 

tea’s naturally aromatic flavors and health benefits. Refer to the chart below for our 

recommendations. But remember, tastes and teas vary; you can always adjust to your 

personal preference. Enjoy! 

For most teas, the best recipe is 1 teaspoon or bag of tea per cup of water. Some herbal 

blends can benefit from a bit more. When making a full pot, we suggest an extra teaspoonful.

Delicate teas can be found in all varieties, be it green, black, etc.  
As the title describes, it is a more delicate version of that specific 
tea therefore requiring a lower steeping temperature and time.

There are many different varieties depending from which region of 
the world the tea originates. Loaded with antioxidants, green tea is 
touted for its health benefits. The perfect steeping time makes or 
breaks this tea – over-steeping will create a very bitter-tasting cup 
of tea. Try it iced with slices of lemon!

While excellent alone, this delicate tea also pairs beautifully with 
orange or other fruit essences. Spearmint and peppermint are also 
common companions.

This handcrafted tea is an excellent base for making flavorful tea 
blends. Available in a wide variety of types, ranging from fruity to 
floral, this tea has similar health benefits to those of  
green tea.

Tisane or herbal teas – technically are not “teas” at all. Usually 
made of edible ingredients such as dried herbs, fruits, flowers, 
spices, and seeds, they are typically caffeine-free alternatives to 
traditional teas.

This tea works very well when lightened with milk or cream and 
sweetened with honey or sugar. Earl Grey is a popular black tea 
blend that is mixed with bergamot, giving it an orange-like note. 
Enjoy first thing in the morning or for an afternoon pick-me-up.
