      Hello everyone,

      One of the winners of Best New Products of the 2013 World Tea Expo goes to THE BKON TX – a slick machine that brews your tea in vacuum.

      This has got me thinking if there is any other technology geared toward the brewing side of the tea.

      I believe technology has gone a long way for both farming and processing sides of tea, but what about the brewing?

      Cheers!

      Brewing? The Breville One Touch (or whatever its name and brand are).

      Ah .. Breville 🙂

      I have seen people brewing tea with Espresso machine both in Japan and Taiwan.

      What do you think of that?

      @chbenchen That Bkon device is interesting. I like how they call vacuum brewing negative atmospheric pressure in their marking materials. I recognize the application of technology, but I wonder how far different (other than a mechanized process) it is from a traditional vacuum brewer. I’ve certainly thought about buying to brew my tea just to watch it work.

      @Bram – one of the tea store owner in Taiwan told me that brewing with an espresso machine helps connect the ‘tea’ and the ‘drinking,’ to be honest to this date I have a hard time understanding it. Oddly enough, with my recent visit to the World Tea Expo in Japan, I again run into another store owner who is doing the exact same thing.


      @Peter
      – Thanks very much! Perhaps the Bkon is designed for commercial purpose? I am very much interested in trying out the vacuum brewer you mentioned. But I assume it would not work well for Japanese Sencha …
