    Using loose leaves is so easy and tea shops have so many great fruit combinations with their teas I don’t understand why so many people still use the bland tea bags

        There are cups that come with their own ceramic sieve, but you can also use the chinese method of using a small dish to decant the tea…or use the grampa method if you can stand hot tea and can drink it before it oversteeps :D

      There isn’t a tea shop within >100 miles (160km) of me, so there is that. There is a café where you can buy tea at the gift shop.

        I don’t know where you are but if you have access to an “in-bulk” store (Bulk Barn here in Canada) they can have a limited selection of loose leaf tea - but at a huge discount over tea shops.

        I use it for bulk hibiscus tea (tea in the cold months - Jamaica in the hot ones).
