The secret of the Signature Auto Tea Brewer is in the way it controls the time it takes for the tea to go from the top brewing-vessel, through the stainless steel mesh filter, into the pitcher below. The brewing time of two and a half minutes is fixed by the size of the hole the brewed tea passes through, so the only variables in making the tea are the temperature of the water, and the amount of the dry leaves.
Each set comes in a padded Gift/Storage box, and includes a towel.
