THE TEA REVOLUTION

THE TEA REVOLUTION

Lipton has joined forces with Krups to revolutionise the consumption of premium tea by launching T.O. by Lipton, a tea-making machine combining the perfection of infusion with the versatility of individual portions.

As with all revolutions, it gets down to the basics: a capsule of tea leaves and an infusion chamber, both of which are transparent. T.O. by Lipton collects data from the tea capsule and programs the perfect combination of temperature and duration of infusion. The machine then releases the tea leaves and moves them around to bring out all the flavours.

Patented technology

The Air Movement Infusion™ technology means that infusion is no longer passive, but is now about movement and fluid dynamics. The principle is a simple one: firstly, a flow of water and air bubbles penetrate the capsule placed in the bottom of the chamber. This water flow gently hydrates the shrivelled up leaves. It then pushes them out of the capsule and into the transparent infusion chamber.

The brewing can now begin – evenly and gently. The leaves open up, releasing all of their subtle and surprising nuances of flavour.
