Tea infuser

Vfm, I will try not to judge you0

I had one of those teapots with an integrated infuser - it was a gift - and not a cheap one! I found it a faff, and then the central column developed cracks, so it was just like an ordinary teapot! Again, more fiddly to deal with than just emptying out a pot.0

You could just buy teabags that don't contain plastic. Clipper teas or Teapigs, for example.
Might be cheaper. And I love so many of the Teapigs' varieties (including the Chai, served black - would also be perfect for soaking dried fruit in or making bread pud).
But if you decide to do loose tea, just a cheap strainer will do the job perfectly.I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -

Neither Clipper or Teapigs are cheap. I also think teapigs are mean with the leaves which is OK if you like weak tea.
