The perfect temperature for every sip

Whether you're brewing a delicate green tea or making a rich hot chocolate, the right temperature can make all the difference. Here's our guide to the ideal settings for different types of drinks, so you can enjoy every one at its best.

60°C

Delicate (Bai Mu Dan or White Peony) and light floral teas should be brewed at this lower temperature to avoid bitterness.

Brew your green teas (Gyokuro or Sencha) and white teas (Silver Needle or Bai Mu Dan) at this temperature to bring out their subtle flavours without scalding the leaves.

Cleaning the jug and base

Always unplug the kettle and ensure it’s cool before cleaning. Wipe the kettle and base with a damp cloth, then dry and polish with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasives or scouring agents.

Cleaning the filter

Remove the filter behind the spout and rinse under running water. Use a soft brush or cloth for stubborn deposits. If needed, soak the filter in a water and white vinegar solution overnight, then rinse and replace.

Descaling your kettle

Calcium deposits can build up over time. Make sure to descale your kettle regularly using a commercial descaler or a simple white vinegar solution. Here's what to do: 1) Fill the kettle with 0.5L white vinegar. 2) Add water to reach 1L and boil. Let stand overnight. 3) Empty the solution, fill with water, bring to a boil, and repeat twice. Now your kettle is clean, shiny, and ready to go.
