Finum Medium Infuser

I've had this for almost 2 months and it works great.  I find it much easier to clean than my old 16 oz. Teavana Perfect Tea Maker.  Plus the leaves can drip dry in a second cup for multiple infusions.  Soggy leaves no more!

Brushed Steel Tin

I'm kind of a neat freak when it comes to storing and organizing my teas. These tins are the perfect solution for the serious tea drinker.  However I will note that the lids dent easily, so don't drop  them!  "This brushed steel tin weighs approximately 110 grams and has a capacity of approximately 150 grams, but may hold more or less depending on the leaf size of the tea. The tin measures 4 ¼" tall and the lid measures ¾" tall. The diameter is 3 ¼". Made in China. Also available as case of 6 or master carton of 72."

Upton Small Black Plug-Top Tin

Classy and simple. Doesn't dent unless you abuse it.  I will note that it was difficult to open.  I often had to use a spoon or plastic credit card to pry the lid off.  I'm sure that means it was airtight.  The Upton Tea description on the website goes as follows, "This standard tea tin is black enamel with a gold top and bottom. A matching gold plug-top lid creates an airtight seal. This tin will hold up to 125g of tea depending on leaf size. Also available in a case of 24. 2 3/4" wide, 3 1/2" tall."

Finum Medium Filter Bags

I just received in the mail from Amazon.com my order of Fill-your-own tea bags.  They are much larger than I anticipated, but they do allow a lot of room for full leaves to expand.  I packaged up some of the Moroccan Mint I made the other day and the Gunpowder Green happily expanded to its rightful size.  They look absolutely silly, and I'm not sure they would make good gifts.  I think if I packaged up loose Lemon Grass in these as a Christmas present, my mother would die laughing at the giant proportions.

I think the Red Rose Tea Bag is afraid of being eaten...
