A machine for brewing tea, particularly in a shoc situation. The machine has a housing and at least one brewing assembly. The brewing assembly is formed to hold a brewing cup that has a filter that defines and separates a first cavity within the brewing cup for containing tea leaves and a second cavity from which tea leaves are excluded. The housing has a water supply that supplies a predetermined volume of water at a temperature that is suitable for infusing tea leaves. It also has a water supply channel for delivering the water into the first cavity of the brewing cup, and a siphon tube that has a siphoning end that extends orthogonally upward into the second cavity of the brewing cup and a downward projecting dispensing end. The apparatus is constructed in a way that tea leaves infuse as the water is supplied into the first cavity of the brewing cup, but once the level of infused tea liquor in the second cavity of the brewing cup rises above the siphoning end of the siphon tube the tea liquor siphons down the siphon tube and is dispensed from the dispensing end of the siphon tube.
