Tea brewer with neoprene "tea shirt" cosy.
Tea is one of the oldest most popular drinks on the planet and yet, if you watch the trends, it's making a 'comeback'. Did it ever leave? (no pun intended). Luckily Eva Solo is here to update the experience with it's new mod drip-free flask brewer. "You can make tea in two different ways depending on whether you like tea with or without tannin. The jug features a patented filter system which guarantees the best result. Herbal tea leaves are tipped directly into the flask so the tea can infuse optimally, and the leaves are then strained off automatically when pouring. Alternatively, tea leaves with tannin are placed in the filter holder and, once brewed, the plunger is fully depressed, thereby stopping the brewing process. It is also possible to make half a jug as the filter extends right down to the bottom."
DESIGNERS: Claus Jensen, Henrik Holbæk

Two methods (A or B); "A) Brewing black tea WITHOUT tannin as well as green tea, herbal teas and fruit teas: 1) Place the leaf tea directly in the glass flask. 2) Pour freshly drawn boiling water into the flask (for green tea the boiled water should cool for 5 minutes before it is poured into the flask). 3) Replace the filter, plunger and lid and allow the tea to infuse for 8-10 minutes or for the time stated on the packaging. B) Brewing black tea WITH tannin: 1) Place the filter in the flask and then spoon the leaf tea into the filter. 2) Slowly pour freshly drawn boiling water over the tea in the filter. 3) Replace the plunger and lid and allow the tea to infuse for 5-6 minutes. 4) Fully depress the plunger to stop the brewing.".
Drip-free concept. "The tea brewer also belongs to EVA SOLO’s family of drip-free jugs and flasks which in the past couple of years have won a host of international design prizes. In keeping with the other jugs and flasks, the tea brewer features a drip-free pouring lip and a flip-top lid which opens automatically when pouring. The neoprene cover keeps the tea hot while emphasising the beautiful, rounded shape of the flask. All the parts are dishwasher-proof except the cover which must be rinsed in warm water.".
