A tea brewing assembly which is disposed within an upper housing of a coffee maker and operates in conjunction with the coffee maker. The coffee maker delivers heated water to tea brewing assembly which includes a tea brewing basket divided into two sections by an internal wall, a tea leaf holder and a cover having a tea leaf holder positioner. A controllable valve in the internal wall provides communication between the two basket sections at an appropriate water temperature, which permits the heated water to contact the tea leaves in the tea leaf holder. A controller operates a drain valve at the bottom of the brewer basket at an elapsed brew time causing the brewed tea to ultimately enter a conventional pouring carafe. Sensors and operator selections control either the brew time, brew temperature or both for opening the wall and drain valves.
