And I use a little tea ball that I bought at Container store years ago. It's like the picture @Crumbs posted but it has a little chain attached to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-that-isnt-individually-wrapped#post-517521 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:24:41 +0000 squid 517521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another loose leaf tea fan over here...the only time I drink bagged tea is if it's iced Lipton's.</p> <p>If I'm the only one drinking, I just use a small ceramic cup with a lid. no filter needed. If I'm serving others, I use a French Press pot.</p> <p>Drinking loose teas opens up a whole other world of delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-that-isnt-individually-wrapped#post-517315 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 10:53:21 +0000 Mrs. Pen 517315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you mean loose-leaf?! It has such a better flavor and I love it. I have a ceramic teapot that has an infuser, I boil water, pour it in and let it steep for about 10 minutes, then remove the infuser. If there are leftover bits of tea, I strain it with a small tea colander. Delicious.</p> <p>I buy mine from the bulk herb store </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-that-isnt-individually-wrapped#post-517306 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 10:51:25 +0000 ladyfingers 517306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually only buy loose leaf tea and store it in airtight containers, so this doesn't really bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-that-isnt-individually-wrapped#post-517305 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 10:50:57 +0000 lavender 517305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love loose leaf tea and buy unbagged teas and I just make sure it's in an air tight container. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-that-isnt-individually-wrapped#post-517300 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 10:49:45 +0000 cascademom 517300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love loose leaf tea, but drink tea from tea bags at work because it's less fussing around. I have those tea bags for loose leaf tea as well! Those are awesome! I like Mighty Leaf tea and how they bag up their tea in the light pyramids, so it's akin to drinking loose leaf tea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-that-isnt-individually-wrapped#post-517236 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 10:27:15 +0000 SugarplumsMom 517236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy loose-leaf tea as well and use these from Ikea. They're really convenient and you can just pop them into the dishwasher for cleaning. Ooh and they double as a powdered sugar sift for pancakes and desserts!</p> <p><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/46956800/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/46956800/</a></p> <p>[attach=1448/13/mgzexf.500x500.idealisk-tea-infuser__18699_PE103854_S4.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-that-isnt-individually-wrapped#post-517218 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 10:18:40 +0000 heartonastring 517218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a bit of a tea snob and only drink loose-leaf.

I guess its more eco-friendly that way, but I feel like it loses flavor if the tea bags are just sitting there </p>
