I like to save the teabag and use it multiple times. Can I store the teabag in this buddy? Is there enough room in the reservoir for it to be covered?

If you are asking if you can put it in the knob area No and I would not leave a tea bag just sitting on it longer than using it to make my second cup.

The used tea bag will fit in the underside of the buddy, but there is nothing to cover it. I like these because the fit almost any size cup and you have a place to keep your tea bag after it has steeped.

It is just a top for cup or mug. There is not reservoir. Top is slightly rounded but nothing on top like a reservoir. You could suspend the tea bag inside cup, but there would be no room for tea.

It sticks out of the mug a little, which is good cuz then you can hold onto it and stir your tea. I usually pack the tea so that it only reaches where it will be covered by water.

If you are trying to fit it into the box for storage I would not because it bends and deforms the edges. I put store mine in a Rubbermaid tube approximately 10 gal I think. This way if there is a little bit of water in it, it will not damage the tub can withstand water.

You can add tea bags no problem. There is more than enough room for one bag, I usually add two bags because I like my tea strong and don't have too much of a problem getting them to fit.

I haven't, but if you wanted to you could put the tea bag in without the infuser and just let the string hang outside the pot. I've seen some Chinese restaurants do it like that with their tea pots.

The storage areas is broken into 3 compartments. I actually keep tea bags in one compartment and then put coffee pods in the other 2 (caf and decaf). It is versatile and I think you could put anything in the compartments from tea to sugar packets to napkins or spices or whatever you use plenty of in the kitchen and want to keep handy.

Love to help you SweetieBee but like you-I only bought the tea pot-I didn't manufacture it. This is a feature of Amazon that annoys me no end. Instead of contacting other purchasers they should take this question to the source for what it's worth I've had this tea pot for about a year have left water inside frequently - and have no problems with it. The lining is probably some type of protectant

Yes it will leak. I have carried tea in it to work and had this issue. I now keep it upright.

Greetings. The water is stored in the bag and the mouth/cap area is large enough to easily drain all the water from the bag. I have stored my bag for several years with no problem. It would be excellent for camping occasionally. It comes with a blue dye that you drop one drip in if you wonder if it is working and it satisfies all my concerns. Once the blue dye color is gone I know it has purified the water. I have friends in Africa who have used it over 500 times and I have tested it with blue dye drop and everything is working well! It has a mesh in it so the only suggestion I have is that you don't want to crush it or fold it. It's fantastic and I've packed it back and forth from Africa as well as used it in the states!

I bought it for my husband & he uses tea bags. Hasn't even used the mesh basket for loose leaf tea. I don't think the mesh basket is tight enough to hold a powder tea in. Maybe you could but the powdered tea in cheese cloth & then in the mesh basket?

Absolutely since it has a plastic cover u put over the entire bag ...the plastic cover is stored securely on the inside bottom of the bag....took the bag with me to Peru and Vietnam and Cambodia which I visited in the last couple of months....it kept everything amazingly dry while caught in a heavy down pour...I can only say good things about this bag...love the look...live the size...love the color...good luck!

That is a great idea. It is a vacuum container and will work for anything that requires a vacuum for storage....however if the tea is high moisture it may mold.

No, the lip that holds in on the cup edge would prevent that. I do think it would be plenty to keep heat from escaping too much while the tea steeps. Edit: actually, I think I have to take this back. if you don't flip it upside down, but just rest in on top, it does fit snuggly in the infuser. but... there will still be room around the edges of the infuser and your mug. I wouldn't call this a downside of the infuser. This one is my favorite.

I'm not sure what you mean. Did you mean is there enough room to get tea bags out? Of course there's enough room to drop tea bags in unless you want to put a couple of hundred in there. Yes, the hole is large enough to get them out assuming you have a spoon small enough to fit in the hole and if it's long enough to reach the bottom.

I've only used it a couple of times. I think if the tea is fine a few particles may escape. The kind of tea I bought for my sister wasn't super large. It was Stash gunpowder green tea, and as far as I can remember nothing fell out.

you can use it with small ones. I don't think a big tea bag would fit in it. But I have fit small ones in it before.

I am confident that you can store anything you want in there. I holds less than .2 gallons, so plan accordingly. I keep mine full and in the bags on my Harley all the time. No leaks or spills. Great peace of mind. I don't think I would *plan* to use it--the lid is hard to open, and you *will* spill a little. But if you really need it, that doesn't matter.
