Useful gadget...simple, works for all loose tea

If you're looking for really good stuff, you could do worse than JinYuXuan (it's on the mainland; teahub.com)...I've gotten some of the best pu-erh I've ever drunk from there. They're also insanely expensive (but worth it). I've also ordered from pu-erhtea.com (another mainland outfit), but they weren't nearly as memorable. Way cheaper, though. Funalliance.com would be local for you, I guess...Kam's a great guy, his prices are good, and his tea/teaware is often great (and equally often mediocre, but...). |
I'm guessing since everybody here seems to love their coffee so much that at least a few of us also love our tea. What do you use to make your tea? Also for people who buy loose leaves where do you get them?
I use loose leaves, usually from teavana because there is one close to me. They make a really good earl grey creame tea and their dragonwell green tea is my favorite. I make my tea in either a one time use teavana filter (abaca pulp, cellulose, and sealing fibers) or one of these
