Tea Essentials :: Strainers/Infusers

All teas require room for the leaf to expand greatly in size as it steeps. Whatever preperation method you use, make sure there is enough room for the leaf to expand up to 3-5 times in size. Brewing the leaves loose in the pot and then straining works well. Tea balls generally produce poor tea results. The tea leaves can not expand so the flavor is not fully released into the water.

Finally you need to seperate the leaves from the liquid when the tea has steeped the proper lenght of time. Most teas will turn bitter if steeped too long. Using a tea infuser makes this step easy.
