Alternative to Agatha's Bester loose leaf tea bags?

[cernel_joson]

Hello everyone,

I started drinking loose leaf tea a while back and I just ran out of my pack of Agatha's Bester paper tea filters. Is there a better, more permanent solution to infusing tea than having to constantly buy more throwaway filters? Preferably something that allows me to steep a whole pot at a time?

Thanks!

You have a couple of choices you can get a strainer that fits over a mug, or fairness picture, you can get infuser mugs for single serving western style brewing or you can get a strainer or tea sock for larger western style pots. When I brew a western pot I usually strain from a steeping pot into a serving pot. For one pot brewing you might try to find a stainless steel strainer that fits the pot or a tea sock which is a kind of cloth tea bag that can be washed and reused.

I use a French Press to brew tea in.

You can also use stainless steel infusion sticks or balls for single serving applications.
