Traditionally Used for Coffee, New
Invention Nominated for World Tea Expo Award
Seattle,
WA ─ For years tea-drinkers have steeped their tea
using traditional methods, many centuries-old.
Borrowing from coffee culture, some tea experts have recently begun
experimenting with improved ways to brew and extract the flavors of tea. A breakout new method centers on the Bonavita® Porcelain
Immersion Dripper which has been nominated for a New Product Award by the World
Tea Expo.
Beginning in June the Bonavita
Porcelain Immersion Dripper will be available at 120 Bed Bath & Beyond
stores and via the Bed Bath & Beyond website.
Cooking Light magazine recently reviewed the Porcelain Immersion Dripper, writing, “Bonavita’s Porcelain Immersion Dripper is a pour-over meets French press situation. Lock the base over a mug, and gently pour in
your preheated hot water (recommended: 200 degrees F) through the
kettle’s slender gooseneck spout. Let (it)
steep for a few minutes as you would for an immersion brewer, then draw back
the lever and release the results... Full flavor and simple to prepare… you get the
best of both worlds.”
This brew method allows precise
control of the water to tea/coffee contact time, much like a French Press, but
with the added benefit of filtration to produce a “cleaner” cup. Its porcelain construction is great for
durability and heat retention during brewing up to 16 oz. of tea or coffee. (Bonavita Porcelain Immersion Dripper 29130
MSRP $39.99.) The brewer is excellent
for brewing teas for serving chilled and on ice as well.
Bonavita’s innovative, inspired
kitchen products are carried internationally including in the United States by
boutique shops such as Seattle Coffee Gear, plus larger retailers including Chef’s
Catalog, Starbucks, Sur la Table and Williams Sonoma.
Bonavita, an Espresso Supply Inc.
brand, is based in Seattle. Espresso
Supply Inc. has been a leader in the specialty coffee industry for 21 years. With the Bonavita collection they have expanded
into a new category of home electronics and equipment for the kitchen. www.BonavitaWorld.com
Thank you to Maurice of Bicycle Times mag for showing Bonavita's Porcelain Immersion Dripper some love with your unsolicited, rave review of the product. Good news for folks who are curious about this simple brew method that makes an amazing cup of coffee (or tea). Bed Bath & Beyond just started carrying it too, along with tons of other retailers nationally.
