apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I find the Finum tea basket works perfectly; the super fine mesh means no leaves in your cup, and you can flip the lid upside down on the table and set the basket in it after you're finished brewing for no drips/rings on the table. Voila. http://www.simplefamilyliving.com/products.asp?pid=139&cat=6&mode=open

I use a small 2-cup glass teapot with a mesh basket from Hario or a mug-sized ceramic tea basket I got at a Japanese store. The ceramic is nice because it's easier to clean than mesh.

Adagio Teas Ingenuitea...

I've been using the bodum yoyo plastic tea infuser for a few years now. It lets the tea soak and float. I've tried balls and wands...

The best I've ever used is a Teavana infuser. It holds 16oz of fluid and the tea floats freely with a lid to keep the heat and steam in. When you place the infuser on top of a mug, the steeped tea pours out the bottom and leaves the leaves in the infuser. Great for college students and cube workers that have to travel to get hot water.

This infuser from Indigo Teas:

They had one that perfectly fit my mug.

My coworker has one of these and i find myself envying it daily.

I have a mesh tea infuser basket from the Republic of Tea called the People's Brew Basket. I like it because it's small enough to fit in just about any cup. (A lot of the other tea infusers are so large that they will only fit in large mugs.)

They also sell a sturdy mug that comes with a sturdy stainless steel infuser. Plenty of room for the tea leaves to unfold and move freely.

I have a couple of teacups from Muji that come with a built-in stainer and lid. Everything is made of ceramic. It's nice, although the strainer has large holes, so a few tea leaves always come through.

I bought this recently http://www.amazon.com/Copco-2510-4501-Personal-Tea-Carafe/dp/B0028N6OM0/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1256685761&sr=8-7

It's Copco branded and I love it. I have a huge array of teaware at home, but at work, this thing is awsome! I can microwave water in it, I can use it as a water carafe at my desk, it's silicon collar makes handling it safer, and it cleans easer than my chatsford ceramic pots. It's only drawback is that if you use the british style tea that's ground very finely, it will make it through the stainless steel strainer. I suspect that would also be the case with the SnapTea. If you do use a lot of the fine cut tea, get the Adagio Teas Ingenuitea mentioned above.

I also have a ceramic cup with a stainless steel strainer and lid. They're pretty easy to come by in Australia - I know T2 stocks them. I absolutely love it.

They're particularly useful for work, where I used to drink most tea anyhow.

I second the IngenuiTea fro mAdagio.

I have the Curve Tea Mug, and love it.

I especially love that it has a lid, which doubles as a tea strainer holder.

I use this little marvel: http://purepuer.com/puer_tea/do/category/Piao_i_teapot

I have one of those infusers that pours out of the bottom when you put it on your cup. I found it to be a bit of a pain to clean everything out of the strainer. I just let the leaves float around in the pot and use a little tea strainer.

yes, piao-i teapot is great.
