Hi All, can this be used for tea as well?

I never try it but I don't think it is built for tea, also it will be too much work to make a cup of tea.

I think so, depending on how long the tea needs to steep and if you aren't particular about the water temperature for the tea. Although I enjoy tea (disclaimer here!), I'm not a tea connoisseur, and I understand that different teas need different water temperatures. With the Yama the water boils. Once the water in the lower vessel boils, it moves up to the top through the grounds and then is sucked back down into the bottom, all within a few minutes. I've had some success in slowing the process down by turning the burner down so the water doesn't move up to the top so quickly. It makes about 20 oz (2.5 cups).

TEMPERATURE WOULDN'T BE IDEAL...BUT I imagine you could be loose leaf in the upper chamber and it would work..

I haven't tried tea, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It is a great product, I love it!

Yes, we recently put together an Absolut sponsored tea based cocktail event and used this only with the halogen burner.

great for tea. I'd throw in some worm castings or compost as well at least. I sometimes make teas with a long list of ingredients, depending on what I'm using it for.

It could be used in tea. It is very thick and strongly flavored, however...and a bit expensive. I believe it is mainly intended to help your body fight infection. There are many strengths to choose from; the stronger the level the more expensive it is, but then it is reported to fight infection better. I see that it is now infused in bandages for fighting infection and is prescribed by surgeons and doctors.

No, I've never used them in a tea pot - but I don't see why it wouldn't work - if it make only 2-4 cups - I think this was meant for only one cup though.

Yes you could use it in tea however it tastes very green... it's much better in smoothies. You could always use small amounts of it in your tea and mask the taste with extra honey.

Ours is used for both coffee and tea. I am almost a purist when coffee is involved and I notice the slightest differences when I drink coffee. I have not noticed any difference when my daughters made tea and I followed it up with coffee.Paul

If you wanted to I guess you can, but I use it for making tea and it works perfectly for that!

To use in tea I think would it would be very hard to drink.For me it is best mixed in a cold shake of some sort.I use it in my Nutri Bullet with other superfoods and whatever you like .

You could, because the tea leaves are enclosed in the filter. The only downside to this tea maker is that the lid on the serving pot, does not detach for easier cleaning.

This is only for boiling water. At least that is what I use it for. I make the actual tea in a separate ceramic tea pot. Hope it helps.

I haven't tried to make tea, the holes are large enough for loose tea to fall into the hot water. You could use it to infuse already brewed tea with flavors. I mostly use it to flavor water with crushed mint.

I have not done that, but since it's glass my guess is you'd be fine. Though, tea ususally leaves some residue, over time, so for that reason, I would be inclined not to--just one more thing to clean out over time....

I haven't tried it with tea but I think the smaller holed strainer side of the lid would keep most of the tea leaves out of your cup. Sorry that I can't give you a better answer but while I am a tea drinker I use my tea pot.

Yes, you may use this machine to make tea, however, without the coffee masking the taste of the water, the hot water that comes out always tasted like plastic to me, even after repeated cleaning and flushing of the machine. There are just too many platic parts that end up giving a plastic "flavor" the extremely hot water as it passes through. I returned the machine for that reason.

I'm not the manufacturer, but I imagine you could, although my grandson tried to put the soda mix packet in before putting in the soda stream and it spewed out, so that wasn't a good idea. But there was sugar and chemicals in it, so maybe tea is ok.

Yes, you can! I tried using a tea bag, but the tea tasted weak. But good idea with the loose tea, maybe the tea will come out better.

Yes, definitely. I used it for tea as well just the way it is. If I need more than just one cup of tea, I would measure the water, and placed the tea bags in the infuser and make three, or four cups of tea at once. Good luck.
