For tea drinker's.

Google Teastick! This thing is soooo cool. My friend had one and I fell in love with it. My little tea holders always break and seem so cheap. These little things have nothing that can break AND the holes are so small you don't get little bits of tea in your cup. http://www.plymouthtea.com/tenewit.html they are on sale here. But google so you can see how they work. I am buying a bunch for christmas presants.

Hey, those are great! My step-mother has a farm and is always giving those of us in the family great herbal tea blends she makes, but I hadn't found anything quite as cool as this for steeping it. Think I'll get one for her and for me!

Thanks!

Thanks for the post....that looks *so* much better than the teaballs I use. I can see a purchase on the horizon.

Ha! I thought this thread was going to be sand sculpture pictures of the Mad Hatter's tea party . I seem to remember you saying you'd been doing Alice in Wonderland in Colorado.

It does look like a handy gadget, though. Think I'll be ordering one soon.

I tend to prefer large infusers. I have the bigger, full size teapot version of this one, since I easily go through a pot or two of tea a day.

Sorry! I will post pic's as soon as I get a chance next week.

Don't you get an off taste ? Does the metal stain?
I'm a tea freak but prefer to strain as I pour.

I got this from adagio tea--


You put your leaves in, pour in the boiling water. When it's done steeping just place the pot on the cup and the tea pours through straining the leaves.

I've used mine 3-4 times a day since I got it in early spring. Love it! Love tea... green tea...yum!

Oooo! me! me! Very cool.

In my endless quest for a good infuser, I picked one up in Philadelphia this spring. I'm in love. If you're a tea person, yeah, get one.

I'm a definite tea person (and an admitted tea snob), and I didn't really like these. They didn't seem to give enough room for the tea to expand, and the let smaller leaf particles into the tea. I wonder if they've improved them since I tried them....

Emily - A Southern Season in Chapel Hill had them a year or so ago - they might still (and they have a large selection of other yummy stuff in any case...)
