PURPOSE:To obtain a delicious teat whose taste and color are both strong, in which tea leaves are open enough even at the time of supplying tea of first decoction by providing a steaming control means for supplying new tea leaves to a tea strainer, and thereafter, electrifying a valve to the extent that the tea leaves become wet for a prescribed time, and supplying hot water. CONSTITUTION:When a tea strainer 7 returns completely to a correct position by a rotation of a motor, a first switch 12 is turned on, and H is inputted to an input terminal (b) of a microcomputer 29. L is outputted to an output terminal (f), a motor is turned off, the strainer 7 is stopped in a correct position, new tea leaves are supplied to the tea strainer 7 from a tea canister 9, and an ON integrating time of a hot water supply valve is reset. Subsequently, H is outputted to an output terminal (e) of the microcomputer 29, and the hot water supply valve 5 is turned on. Next, whether the turn-on time of the hot water supply valve 5 exceeds a prescribed time T2 or not is checked. This prescribed time is the time for only supplying hot water to the extent that the tea leaves in the tea strainer 7 become wet. When the prescribed time T2 elapses, the hot water valve 5 is turned off, and the tea leaves subjected to hot water supply to the extent that they become wet are opened enough before supplying of first decoction. |
