Are you a tea fanatic? I know I am. Tea is the new coffee, which is the new black. It’s true, all the cool kids are drinking it. It doesn’t matter if it’s green tea, white tea, black tea, or yellow polka dot bikini tea (which is delicious, by the way). Apparently, tea has all sorts of health benefits, including those antioxidants everyone’s always yammering on about. Ok, now that you’re in the know about the magnificent powers of tea, you should probably go out and get some. So you’ve got your grab bag of different teas, but you have no idea how to go about making this tea. It’s all so confusing with the different types and steep times, so what are you gonna do?
That’s where the Zarafina Tea Maker Suite (Amazon, $87.99) comes in. This indispensible tea dispenser is perfect for any tea lover, whether they be a long term tea connoisseur or a complete newbie. In order to make the perfect cup of tea, you need to be well versed in the complex laws of physics, or so it would appear. Different kinds of tea usually require different temperatures and brewing times to yield maximum flavor, but really, who has the time to worry about all that? This lovely machine does the legwork for you. Once you pick out what kind of tea you will be brewing, you select the type (green, black, white, herbal, and oolong) and strength (mild, medium, or strong) on the tea maker. You also have the option of using loose or bagged tea, which you then select on the tea maker as well. Now that the hard decision making process is over, you simply load up your tea, fill the 16oz chamber with water, and turn on the machine. Using its remarkable technological knowledge, the Zarafina Tea Maker Suite heats up to the correct temperature and allows the tea to steep for the correct time. Once the steeping process is complete, the tea is automatically dispensed into the ceramic teapot provided. Two tea cups are even provided so that you can assemble the perfect tea party for two.
As someone who drinks about five cups of tea a day, this thing is freaking amazing. I haven’t seen a teapot that fanteastic, this teariffic in oolong time.
