How do you brew your loose-leaf tea?
Also, are these Teavana tea makers any good?
I use pic related. It works perfect.
The Teavana one is fine. I got it for free from my job, but I don't use it. It leaks just a bit, and is slightly annoying to clean but still works well.

Those tea makers work pretty well, but they're overpriced, like everything else at teavana. I prefer this one I got at ikea for like $7, or a thermos with a tea holder in it.

bad idea, tea leaves are supposed to flow freely

Just an ordinary damn teapot.
And a Yixing mug for oolongs, I suppose.

I used to work for Teavana as a salesman monkey. It was a fun job and I used those tea makers all the fucking time. They're great but not too convenient to clean. Also they accumulate rust color from tannins if you brew too many robust teas and it looks gross.

Only if you tell me what you use to make tea so that we can stop derailing the thread

I've got an all in one gong fu tea pot.
I don't brew in gong fu style though.

>How do you brew your loose-leaf tea?
I have the factory seal it into a perforated bag for me, and then all I have to do is drop the bag into the drinking receptacle and add water. It's an amazing time saver.

That's not loose leaf tea.
every few months they get rid of their sample makers for new ones so if you know someone who works in teavana you can probably get a free one

i just used a teapot. i had one of those teavana things and it was ok. the top broke off of it and it was a hassle to clean and overall less convenient than a teapot

I know no one who owns a tea pot or electric kettle.
