QUESTION

I just purchased loose tea. How do I prepare it ??

ANSWER
A tea infuser is the most commonly used device to prepare loose leaf teas.
They come in many shapes and forms.
We do carry stainless steel infusers - please ask if you need one (price $2.49).
Household strainers can be used.
Specially designed tea pots can be used
they have built in screens to filter out the tea leaves.

Some consumers have told us they consume
both tea and steeped tea leaf leaf

Until the 1800s the tea was ground and both leaf and liquid were consumed.

In Japan fine ground tea called Macha and
coarse tea called Konacha ( known as “sushi tea” ) are inserted in hot water.
Tea leaf and liquid are consumed.
