Did you know that black tea needs 100°C but green tea only 80°C? The Quooker is the perfect tea machine — if you know how.
Why water temperature matters for tea
Most people pour boiling water over any tea. But tea connoisseurs know: temperature makes the difference between a bitter cup and a perfect cup.
Temperature guide per tea type
| Tea type | Ideal temperature | Steeping time | Quooker tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black tea | 95-100°C | 3-5 min | Directly from the Quooker |
| Green tea | 70-80°C | 2-3 min | Mix with cold water* |
| White tea | 75-85°C | 4-5 min | Mix with cold water* |
| Oolong | 85-90°C | 3-5 min | Let cool briefly |
| Herbal tea | 95-100°C | 5-7 min | Directly from the Quooker |
| Rooibos | 95-100°C | 5-7 min | Directly from the Quooker |
| Matcha | 70-80°C | Whisk | Mix with cold water* |
*With a Quooker Fusion or Flex, you can mix the boiling water with cold water to achieve the perfect temperature.
The Quooker as a tea machine
Advantage 1: Always 100°C A kettle reaches 100°C, but the water cools down quickly while pouring. The Quooker delivers water that is exactly 100°C — every time.
Advantage 2: Exact dosing With the Quooker, you can dispense exactly the amount of water you need. No more half-full kettles that unnecessarily consume energy.
Advantage 3: Instant readiness No 3-minute wait. Fancy a tea? Press the button. Done.
Pro-tip: the perfect mixing ratio
For teas that require lower temperatures, use this rule of thumb with your Fusion or Flex:
| Desired temp | Boiling:cold ratio |
|---|---|
| 90°C | 9:1 |
| 80°C | 4:1 |
| 70°C | 3:1 |
| 60°C | 2:1 |
