Problems solved by technology

People drinking tea frequently could not only cultivate their taste, but also prolong their life.

Meanwhile, traditional tea drinking way is to put tea leaves directly into a tea pot which is then filled with hot water for brewing and then drink tea, but the inconvenience is that all the process is handled and controlled manually, and this could be realized by people with pretty much spare time or professional tea tasters, while it is too time-consuming for people at offices who want to drink tea, and furthermore it is difficult for amateurs to brew tea to the perfect taste.

However, tea leaves of different varieties have different requirements for brewing water temperatures, lasting time of each step and repeated brewing times, and if the same water temperature and flow are applied to brew tea leaves of different varieties, the tea's aroma, taste and nutrients cannot be perfect and the biggest advantages of tea leaves cannot be given into full play.

Moreover, the singular tea brewing way for some tea leaves may be harmful to human.

Besides, there are many kinds of beverage substances to be brewed into drinks, and different beverage substances have different requirements for water temperatures and water filling speeds in the brewing process, while the automatic tea brewing equipment of present technology is only able to brew tea leaves in a singular method and cannot brew other beverage.
