So I got this brutally utilitarian tea kettle/infuser set up for like $15 bucks a while back… its basically just pyrex, pretty sure, with the metal insert infuser section.
Had made a bit of instant coffee with it, and uh haha, just tore up some teabags I had had, thats like loose leaf, right?
No, no it isn’t.
Finally got proper loose leaf tea to use in it, and it is just fantastic.
If you like it, then it’s a good cup of tea. I think that pretty much any reasonable quality tea, if prepared and enjoyed deliberately, is nice, and the act of making it with an infuser adds to the experience. I like loose leaf and that’s the only kind of tea I buy for myself, but I have to admit I got some really nice teas coming in teabags in restaurants. Coffee is somewhat different, good freshly roasted beans ground immediately before brewing is just not the same beverage that you get when you buy ground coffee.
