You wouldn't cook a steak the same way you cook a delicate fish, and the same logic applies to tea. The SAKI Luna Electric Kettle Pro comes with built-in presets designed to protect your tea leaves from burning and to extract the maximum flavor.

Here is how to use each preset to brew like a barista.

1: Brewing Delicate Teas (Green & White)

Delicate leaves are easily scorched by boiling water, which makes them taste bitter or astringent.

1. Select the "Green Tea" Preset (175°F / 80°C).

• Best for: Sencha, Matcha, Jasmine Green.
• Why: Green tea leaves are unoxidized and sensitive. This lower temperature coaxes out the sweet, grassy notes without the bitterness.

2. Select the "White Tea" Preset (185°F / 85°C).

• Best for: Silver Needle, White Peony.
• Why: White tea is slightly more processed than green but still requires a gentle touch. This setting is hot enough to extract flavor but cool enough to preserve the subtle floral aromas.

Brewing Robust Teas (Oolong, Black & Herbal)

These teas need higher heat to break down the leaves and release their full, rich body.

1. Select the "Oolong" Preset (195°F / 90°C).

• Best for: Tie Guan Yin, Da Hong Pao.
• Why: Oolong is sem-oxidized. It needs a temperature right in the middle—hotter than green tea, but not quite a rolling boil.

2. Select the "Black Tea" or "Boil" Preset (212°F / 100°C).

• Best for: Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Chai, Herbal Infusions (Peppermint, Chamomile).
• Why: Black teas and herbal tisanes (which aren't technically tea leaves) have tough cell structures. They require a full rolling boil to fully infuse the water.

Brewing Coffee (French Press & Pour Over)

1. Use the Coffee Preset (200°F / 93°C).

• Best for: French Press, Chemex, V60 Pour Over.
• Why: If you pour boiling water (212°F) directly onto coffee grounds, you burn the coffee, resulting in an acidic or burnt taste. The Luna’s 200°F setting is the "Goldilocks" temperature—perfect for smooth, rich coffee.
