   best for whole leaf teas, April 17, 2005

   I wanted an infuser that would allow me to make a single mug of loose leaf tea at home. This item pretty much works as expected. But the holes in the side of the infuser are rather large–about 1mm. For whole leaf loose teas, that is not a problem. But for many other teas, it allows quite a bit of tea through.

   For example, when I make sencha or bancha green tea, I end up with a lot of sediment at the bottom of my mug. Also, rooibos tea is small enough to slip through the holes. And a few of the rooibos tea particles will actually get stuck in the holes, which becomes a slight hassle when cleaning the unit.

   I use this unit at home but at work I have a different tea maker which works better. It has a finer mesh screen so very little tea gets through. On Amazon, it is ASIN # B0000VLMQK, but is not currently available. However, the same item can be found at Teavana as “2 cup perfect teamaker” or at Adagio Teas as “ingenuiTEA”, and sells for less than $20.

   I’ve discovered if I wet the infuser just before adding the tea the smaller particles expand and less tea “dust” falls through. This infuser is easy to clean and has a nice appearance. It can be used in either a single cup or in any teapot (of course you need to adjust the quantity of tea leaves).

   Flawless “tea-steeping” device. Probability of unplanned release of leaves into liquid medium during normal steeping processes is approximately zero, in contrast to failure-prone clasp of device “tea ball.” High reliability values are obtained through the omission of moving parts and fabrication from corrosion-resistant metal, therefore it is probable that optimal item operation will persist beyond the cessation of original purchaser’s biological functions. Omitting aesthetic considerations, the device possesses obvious heirloom suitability.
