Will it work for Fine teas?

Olga - thanks for your question. Our infuser is designed for loose leaf tea. In some cases if your are using ground teas or fine teas with herb or other flavoring that is small you will get some debris in your cup. Also some smoked teas that are brittle and break into small pieces may also have some issues. Hope that helps.

Yes it will, I have used herbal teas which are fine but some residue does come out but that's with any strainer or extra fine tea. Holes are small tho it works well you will be satisfied. Just follow my other post to make sure the gap is sealed . those that use ground teas please read title before buying and giving bad reviews. It's your fault for buying a ground tea and using a loose leaf strainer.........

Olga, I only drink tea from Harney and Sons. I am partial to Irish Breakfast and add a green tea for lemon flavor. It was perfectly acceptable. I also drink Temi Sikkham which has particularly large tea leaves once steeped. The infuser ball was really full after steeping. I noticed no difference in taste quality. Hope this helps.--EB

Not sure, I would think it depends on how fine. I use green gunpowder style but that is a course leaf tea.

I think that this warmer would work fine for a fine china teapot with the use of one candle. However, check EnjoyingTea.com and check out the warmers specifically designed for fine china. They are not expensive. Hope this helps. S. D. Seidel

I supposed it would work, but it perks. That may make the taste different than if you would steep the teas.

I thought this was for loose tea. It's all I ever use it for. It works really well and is a robust, quality product.

Yes to both questions. Any kind of tea will work. It can handle the hot water.

Yep, it should. I purchased the two 2 quart pitcher set along with this so I could make tea using loose tea. Works like a charm...

I am sure they would work, but you don't need the infuser if you are using a tea bag really anyway.

I have not tried tea in this unit. But I do believe loose tea will work. As for a tea bag, I would think, if the tea bag fits in the unit, it would work just fine.

The holes in the storage cone is about 1 1/2 inches long and 1/16 wide so if the leaves are bigger then tea bag leaves it might work. I still thing some of them will float through the openings.

Yes, I purchased this to make loose tea not coffee. I love it so much I got the 8 cups size also.

I dont think so. If you were using a medium or coarse grind it might work, but a fine or espresso grind would go through. I have had small loose leaf tea leaves go through the mesh.

Yes, i use it with loose tea all the time. The holes are quite small and allow only a very small amount of "tea dust" to settle in the bottom of the cup. It is about the same as using a fine mesh tea ball.

As long as the tea is the same consistency as ground coffee it will work just fine. Also, I bought the disposable paper filters to put in this unit because it seals a lot better when you screw the lid on!

I don't know, this company also has some similar pots specifically for tea if that's what you need.

Yes, it will work with a teabag as well, and in fact probably better since the leaves are all contained in the bag. You wouldn't get any loose leaves in your mouth when drinking the tea. Welcome to the tea drinkers' world. I would suggest for you to try different kinds of tea - white, green & black. And don't worry about the caffeine in it, it's not as potent as coffee and there are always herbal alternatives. Enjoy!

I don't know, but it's worth a try. My parents use one just like this to make apple cider. They put the mulling spices at the top and put apple cider in it instead of water, and it works well. I would guess it would work with tea.

infusers are not designed for tea bags, they're to be used with loose tea that has not been ground finely like the bags. The ball is 2" diameter, so place the amount of loose tea that you hope to use into a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a ball. If the size is under 2" in diameter, this will work for you.
