I have to make a shameless plug.
My wonderful sister, Jess, who reads my blog, on my birthday sent me one of these:
This is the bomb.
If you have never really tried loose-leaf tea, you have not really appreciated tea. Â But loose leaf, as superior to tea bag tea as it may be, it’s not, well, quite as portable.
This is a little personal tea pot that not only brews, but strains your tea. Â Add loose leaf and hot water, and let steep. Â You then set the pot on top of your favorite mug and it strains the tea directly into your mug. Rinse. Â Repeat.
I keep this one at work, and I am so very in love, I just may have to buy another for home.
And while you are at it, Adagio’s Jasmine #12 is fabulous. Â I was introduced to jasmine tea on my prom night at Trader Vic’s and it has reminded me of innocence ever since.
(PS – If you want to try an Ingenuitea of your very own, leave a comment and I will send you a $5 email gift certificate to Adagio teas.)

I *adore* my InginuiTea. Sabine gave me one last year- Christmas or Birthday one- and it has gotten a LOT of mileage. But if you’re going to get yourself a tea toy for home, why not get an entirely different toy? The Bodum brand Assam is a lot of fun, too. I love mine.

That beats the hell out of my paper-towel-and-funnel method.
October 28, 2008 @ 10:58 amMy husband would love that! Where did you get it?
October 28, 2008 @ 11:13 amI bought one of those as a gift for someone – she was beyond thrilled with it, and still thanks me for it.

October 28, 2008 @ 7:24 pmI would love to get one of those for my friend, who drinks hot tea *even with meals in the middle of a hot Houston sumer*! Would love a link to where to find one. And a certificate to get some special tea for Olga.
