I think this little guy is adorable!
I love tea and I drink it everyday, so I go through strainers pretty quick. But looking at him just makes me happy :)
I love tea. For a very long time all I had was a huge selection of stuff from the grocery store, and I just threw the bags into the water all willy-nilly. And you know what? It was good. But then I got some fancy tea and actually read the directions on how to make it. Turns out I was boiling the crap out of my tea and steeping way too long, so it would taste even better if I did it right.
My friend bought me the Fred Mr. Tea Infuser, which I now use with my fancy loose tea from http://www.adagio.com/. I got the Shanghai (green tea) sampler, Raja (black tea) sampler, and the Dragon (oolong tea) sampler. They're so good. The infuser is really nice. It's silicone and very easy to use, though it does let a few little tea leaf chiblets through. Honestly, it's not an issue for me because it's so much better than the other infusers I've tried (which are probably all spawned from the mind of a deranged maniac tea hater).
Oh, also, warm up your pot and cup before pouring your tea water. It makes a huge difference because the water doesn't lose its heat to a cold vessel. Yay! I used heat transfer after graduating!
