Can you use tea bags

Usually you infuse the tea for 3 or so minutes. It would seem that pumping hot water thru a tea bag in 30-60 seconds wouldn't get the full flavor out of the tea. But they do make tea K-cups. Maybe they put more tea in them than a tea bag??? So obviously I don't know!

I don't think that would work. There would be no seal around the bag to force the water through the tea. There is a reusable metal filter that could be filled with loose tea.

I always do since it makes clean-up so must easier and faster. I just place the tea bag in the little plastic cup where you would notmally place the coffee grinds and then screw the top part over it and voilla, you are ready make a lovely single cup of tea. Nothing could be easier. I purchased two since once the rubber flapper stops sealing i have another one i can use. Best thing since sliced bread. I hope that this helps you.

You would only be complicating an easy process. Plus, you want to use boiling water for tea. By the time you put the boiling water in the reservoir and pump it through the tea bag, your tea will be lukewarm. Also, harmful chemicals can leech out of plastics, especially when you add boiling water. I can't remember if this product is BPA free, but that is not the only harmful chemical in plastics. Save your money.

I did not but I don't see where it would be a problem. The top screws on so tea bags will fit.

I use 4 standard green tea bags. You could also use 1 of the family sized bags as well.

It is not designed for use like that. Since tea bags are not flat, they would not stay in place when the box is vertical.

I like to make strong tea for ice tea because the ice will dilute it; so I would use at least 2 tea bags.

I would use 3 tea bags. But please! Venture into loose tea, you will love it!

You can use any size tea bags. I use the regular single serving ones and I use four per pitcher I brew, but have used the bigger ones in the past and just use two.

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 have not tried to have tea in them...but they are very thick so Im pretty sure it would be fine.

I don't see why not! I just stuck a tea bag in mine, and it fits if you fold it. You may have to move it around a bit, instead of letting it sit though.

hello, yes you could steep tea bags in this tea pot. I would recommend two tea bags, it makes 3 8oz cups of tea. I love my tea pot I use it daily with tea bags and loose leaf.

Great question! While the tea bags can be stored, the tea itself should be used immediately. Remember, this is a LIVING product - each tea bag contains billions of beneficial microbes, lying dormant in hibernation. Once you soak the tea bag in water, you start to awaken them. When you stir and add water, now they are wide awake and ready for work and food... so let them loose!Simplest rule of thumb is work backwards: 1. Soak tea bag only when you know you

Yes you can, but you have to put the tea on the bottom, not in the basket. I use it that way.

you can use it with an infuser but it is not required. I put tea bags and let them steep for about 5 mins with hot water .

Put it like this, the tea bag is already an infuser, so if you put a tea bag in this, it's like filtering something through twice. You could lose some flavor. How about you just open the tea bag and pour the contents into this infuser?

I can use 2 lg bags stuffed in, or about an ounce or two of loose tea. I prefer the bags, bc some loose tea can get through the holes... Pretty gnarly to drink, lol.

For loose tea, the mesh in the plunger will tamp down the leaves. You can use tea bags in the same way.
