Questions & Answers
Question : Is packet green tea as good for you as lose leaf green tea?
I was wondering if it was worth investing in a tea strainer thing and some lose leaves, or is the packet green tea just as good?
Answer:
Health-wise, they're about the same, but loose leaf is fresher & has more flavor.You don't need anything fancy, tea steeps better when it has room to move, so it shouldn't be brewed in a confined diffuser or tea ball. I use a french press for my green & white teas and an iron teapot for black tea. Once it's ready, you can pour it through a cheap strainer, right into the cup.

Question : Tea strainers, infusers, kettles, etc...?
What is the difference between a tea strainer and infuser? If I have some loose leaf tea, and I don't want any large bits floating around in my cup, which should I use, the infuser or strainer? Are they the same thing? If I buy one, should I get a certain type of metal? Are some non-toxic, and others toxic? Chrome, brass, aluminum, copper, etc...Also, do most tea kettles come with some sort of strainer in the spout or somewhere inside the kettle? Is a tea pot the same thing as a kettle?I'm asking because I have some loose leaf tea I really want to try, but I need a way of seeping it inside the water, but without getting a lot of it IN the water. A few small particles are fine, but no big chunks.Thank you so much!
Answer:
There's a small teashop that I go to to purchase my teas and they also sell teaballs/infusers. They're really simple and will wind up saving you money in the long run as opposed to coffee filters. Your standard tea infuser will run anywhere from $1.99-$12.95, depending on size and manufacturer. Also there are teapots that have infusers with them that run about $20 or so. And if you're worried about toxic materials I have included a link to a website that specializes in non-toxic items. I would suggest looking up teas in your phonebook and then going to one of the local stores and asking one of the attendants to advise you on the best infuser as well.

Question : How can I get more of the flavor into my tea?
i went to Teavana yesterday.. and i got this tea which was really good at the store.. but when i tried to put it in the strainer/tea holder and make some for myself.. it tasted really watered down..basically because there wasn't enough flavor coming through..how can i get more of the flavor in my tea? so its really dense with flavor in every sip
Answer:
The key is to wait and let the tea soak into the water, or you can just use more tea!

Question : Some suggestions to get rid on rust on a steel tea strainer safely...?
Please and thank you. I am attached to my strainer because I cannot find another with markings inside for loose tea measurements.....
Answer:
I think that is not a rust because still shouldn’t get rusty , it is the stain of tea, so leave it for a 5m or 15m into the mixture of a little drop of thick bleach and water , you can also put your spoons or coffee mug in that mix to become shiny, after that wash with washing up liquid

Question : How do you use the Teavana Tea Tumbler? HOW TO USE THE STRAINER?
I have the 16 oz Tea Rhapsody version. How do I make the tea with the strainer? I have loose tea leaves.
Answer:
You boil the water first. Then you put the tea in the strainer ( the kind of strainer that closes made especially for loose tea). Then you put the strainer with the tea in it in the water. If you're using an open strainer, I would put the tea in the strainer and pour the water over it into another container. Hope this helps.

Question : How do you make herbal tea with the fresh flowers from passion flowers?
I just moved into this house the other day and I found a wonderful garden of passion flowers by my front door. I did a bit of research on the medicinal uses and lo and behold, I would benefit greately from it, having anxiety with tachycardia and IBS. I have an herbal tea strainer already but I have always bought already dried flowers.What is the correct way to make herbal tea from fresh flowers? Do I dry them first or just pop them in the water and let them steep? With passion flowers, do I use just the flower? How do I dry them properly if I need to do so?
Answer:
Hi Inali K!Passion flowers (Passiflora, Sawvaros, Water- Lemon)Passiflora incarnata leaves and roots have a long history of use among Native Americans, in North America. Passiflora edulis and a few other species are used in Central and South America. The fresh or dried leaved are used to make an infusion, a tea that is used to treat insomnia, hysteria, and epilepsy, and is also valued for its painkilling properties. It has been found to contain beta-carboline harmala alkaloids which are MAOi's with anti-depressant properties.Containing MAOIs, the flower has only traces of the chemicals but the leaves and the roots of some species have been used to enhance the effects of mind-altering drugs.Passionflower also may be effective for anxiety disorder, but further studies are needed. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)To dry Passiflora, cut stems back to new leaf growth and tie in loose bunches. Hang upside down in a dry, dark place till the leaves are crumbly. Or: dry just the flower heads on drying screens in the oven or in the sun.The Passiflora Species a have laxative properties and also help the digestive system as well as acting as a tonic for a person’s liver. This herb can often be used in treating both chronic and occasional bouts of constipation and have no side effect associated with they.Also: As foods The fruit is edible at its being fully ripe as well as being made into juice. The seeds can be eaten with ice-cream. The passion fruit juice is used for flavoring ice-cream, jelly, candies, cake and wine.Food value Katokrok Farang consists of various organic acids, including Vitamin C, sugar and others.Nam Sawvaros (Passion Fruit Juice).Jason Homan

Question : if i put manure in a tea strainer and filter water through it, will the water become nutrient rich?
will it become good for irrigation of plants?
Answer:
In order to ensure that the water-solubles in the manure do break down, you must make a "tea" of it.Hopefully, you will have composted or oven-dried the manure with low heat, about 200°, for several hours or even overnight. This will kill off the weed seeds, which are an inherent part of herbivore (cow, horse, rabbit, etc.) manure.Place a coffee can full of manure in a container or bucket. Cover it with about 2x the amount of warm water & let it stand, covered, overnight. Strain the solids out & add 50% more water. (This will ensure that it does NOT burn your plants.)Use this diluted tea as you would a liquid fertilizer. If it's for an edibles garden, I would experiment, fertilizing one plant of each type to see how it responds.Have fun & happy gardening!

Question : How do you pour loose tea without leaves going through the strainer?
I serve afternoon tea at a very classy hotel. Usually we serve the tea in the tea pot with a bag so that we know no leave will go through to the tea and there won't be a lot of mess to clean up. Well, I'd like to serve tea loose but lately when I do some of the leaves still get through the strainer and seeing the leaves floating in the guests tea cup looks so unprofessional and unappetizing. What can I do?
Answer:
Tea expands in water, while it's dry it falls through the holes in the strainer. I think it's better to let the leaves float free & pour through the strainer (now they are expanded & easily caught.You could always try a French press. It gives the leaves room to float around as well as a little show when you press the leaves down.

Question : help on growing a herb garden for tea?
also, are there tea pots with strainers built in? I'm not very up to date (or backwards!) on old teapots and the like, but would obviously want a teapot that I could boil the leaves/herbs in straight.I was hoping to start growing my own herbs for use with teas etc, as I'm an avid tea drinker but would prefer to do it the old fashioned way, and organic aswell. what would be the best herbs or plants to start with?
Answer:
I suggest that you get a book on herbs you will enjoy it and you will have it as a reference for ever.You will find that you can make herbal tea out of so many herbs that it would take me Absolutely ages to write it all down.You can also make tea out of some wild plants like nettle. Most herbal teas can be made by just pouring boiling water over the fresh herb and letting it stand for a while to infuse. If you do this you do not need a strainer. Other herbs you can dry for winter use. I would suggest that you have a strainer separate to your tea pot. This stops the tea pot from getting all clogged up around the spout.Herbs I grow in my garden for herbal tea are borage, lemon balm, sage, rosemary, thyme, lovage, various types of mint and of course nettle and dandelion which grow them self. All of these are very easy to grow and come back every year. There are many more than this, but i find these are enough for me.I grow most of my herbs alongside my flowers and they look very attractive.I hope you find this useful.
