Tea for two made easy!
I have to start by saying I love tea. I love different kinds of tea. I am also ashamed to admit I never did much with loose leaf tea because it seemed off the bat like something that was a pain to deal with and I didn't research further. Until recently when a friend of mine let me try a tea she found and I really enjoyed it. I wanted to get it too and she told me what it was and that the tea was loose leaf (she and her husband have a tea maker - they also have a spoon with a tea infuser attached, but it seemed like lots of debris would escape it). Well, I liked the tea enough that I decided there had to be an easy way to do this. I researched a few products and finally settled on Apace Living's set of 2 tea infusers. I bought the single cup pack and the multi cup pack though thus far I have only used the single cup. This works well as you can re-steep it anyway.The tea infusers are great. They are easy to use. The top locks securely on (they do tell you to test it by swinging the infuser in a few circles) and the infuser is very easy to clean. The chain attached to it makes it very easy to use without burning finger tips like with some bags and no fear of strings breaking off. They are also long enough that I can use it in the larger style mugs I prefer. They advice you to put water in your mug/cup first and to drop the diffuser in after to lessen the chance of stray tea leaves ending up in your drink. I have yet to have anything escape into my tea. It has a convenient little dish to set it on so any draining after use never makes it to the counter or table top. It is so easy to use and I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. In fact, it actually makes me wish more of my beloved teas were of the loose leaf variety. The infusers also look nice which makes the tea experience feel a little more upscale. They seem pretty classy. I plan to purchase another set as a gift for yet another tea lover in my family.
