Ninety seconds… more like nine-tea seconds!
As a tea-lover, I’ve always felt like coffee always got the spotlight. There’s no ‘tea equivalent’ of Starbucks, the alternative to instant coffee is the tea bag, which tastes terrible… and even Keurig and Nespresso haven’t figured out how to automate the tea-brewing process to perfection. However, the Affinitea Brewing System hopes to at least fill that one void. Designed as an elegant tabletop device, the Affinitea Brewing System expertly makes you a fresh cup of luxury loose-leaf tea in just 90 seconds. The Clearview re-usable chamber takes care of every aspect from agitating, pressurizing, and steeping the tea brew, before straining and dispensing it directly into your cup. The patented chamber uses pressure + agitation to handle the steeping cycle perfectly, creating a brew that has fewer tannins (the chemical that creates that bitter aftertaste) while extracting the maximum flavor.

Full-leaf Tea – The larger the leaf, the higher quality of the tea. The Affinitea is specifically designed to steep high-quality full-leaf tea in seconds.
The Affinitea is a clever tabletop appliance not too different from a Nespresso or Keurig… however, it’s designed to brew top-notch tea with remarkable consistency in just under 90 seconds. A water chamber on the left holds 2 liters of fresh water to be used by the Affinitea, and the simple control panel on the right lets you select the temperature, strength, and cup size to give you a consistent-tasting brew every single time. An LCD screen right above the control panel lets you view and confirm your choices, and once you load the leaves into the Affinitea and tell it to begin brewing, the machine lets you watch the entire process unfold right in front of your eyes thanks to its clearview brewing chamber that lets you see the magic!
Step 1 – Open the portion pack and pour the contents into the Clear-View Re-useable Infusion Brewing Chamber.
Step 2 – Select your consistency settings and start the brewing.
Step 3 – Enjoy your gourmet cup of hot or iced RTD beverages.
What the Affinitea really gets right (in order to deliver its luxurious-tasting end-product) is the fact that it uses full-leaf tea instead of the kind of tea you’d find in tea bags. Longer leaves help retain more flavor and nuance, unlike the tiny granules or tea-leaf dust that’s found in tea-bags. The Affinitea Brewing System comes with its own subscription service, letting you choose from a whole ‘variet-ea’ of different tea and herb blends. The subscription entitles you to 50 individual pre-measured portion packs of exotic tea blends in 4 different varieties every month, with new seasonal blends and recipes to match. You can choose to hot-brew or cold-brew your teas, and Affinitea even lets you use your own tea-leaves or tea-bags to make your own brews – although their full-leaf tea blends come highly recommended from tea aficionados and experts! The Affinitea Brewing System starts at $179 for Kickstarter backers, and pairs with a 3-month subscription to its exotic luxury tea program. Continue with the subscription for only $20 per month and enjoy this exotic luxury tea program at only $0.40 per cup. Now that is a vacation in a cup!
