Can he be used with a tea bag inside?

I never tried it, but that would make sense if you want to avoid getting those grounds out afterwards. On the other hand, the reason for using mr. Tea is because you would have loose tea and needed something to hold the tea in. However, I do like your idea, so I will go try it right now, and write my results here (in the meantime, please listen to some pleasant music, haha)........Okay I'm back. I put a tea bag in it, steeped it for 3 min. and it worked perfectly. One bit of advice: Rinse the mr.T under cold water before opening him and getting the tea bag out, otherwise it will be too hot. So either wait till it cools or cold water rinse. I never tried it, but that would make sense if you want to avoid getting those grounds out afterwards. On the other hand, the reason for using mr.

As long as the bag is not too large I don't see why you couldn't. I highly encourage the use of this little guy as much as possible because quite frankly, he's just plain adorable :)

Depends on the bag size. The split legs would make it hard to just set it in the middle and still infuse. If you could stuff it into one leg it should work great.

yes! you just have to squish the tea bag up a bit to fit it in. but it works just fine!

His pants separate from the upper torso, so yes, you can cram a tea bag into his pants and let him soak!

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.

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.

Not fine enough for ground spices, or even thai tea mix.Using paper teabags to infuse spices separately would probably be less messy.

Hi Kimberly! Of course you can! Use half a tea bag and make half the tea....Always like to remind people how versatile the tea is however - if you have leftovers, you can use on indoor houseplants, home compost pile, trees, shrubs, a neighbor's rose bush (but only if you like them :)Happy Gardening!

Absolutely. You could put loose tea or another hot beverage in there. It's a removable infuser, although having quickly tried it, the lid doesn't snap in tightly without the infuser there. It sits loosely on top, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Not sure. But the regular tea bag, you can fold it and put it in with not problem. Hope it will help you

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!

you can but the bag does not have a cover or much padding. I don't think I would carry my laptop in there all the time. In a pinch it would fit but not a bag that I would carry it all the time. There are no slots or compartments on the inside so other stuff would have to be on top or underneath.

Yes. The bag is porous and stays damp. Quite a bit of water flows through the bottom of the bag. I would not use them indoors.

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.

The infuser is much smaller than a cup so I don't see the point of transporting it with the tea. The lid does screw in a little, but I not sure it's leakproof.

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 .

It should now be in a stove top, u can only put hot water, and yes u can use all tea bags and loose tea

Absolutely! The infuser is a screen mesh material, so you could either put your tea bag below it and just ignore it completely while you drink your tea (usually what I do) or you could lay the tea bag on top of the infuser and fill with hot water. If you do this you would need to remove the tea bag before drinking as it would be next to your mouth, but either way it works fine. Sometimes I just throw a tea bag in with the sip-thru lid instead of the infuser as the drinking hole is small enough the tea bag won't come through.

Yes. It is made of glass. There is no problem Steeping tea bags in it. I would suggest to put 2 tea bags in one pot.

I Have not tried but I sure bet it can. Not like bagged tea. Unless you cut the bag and dump the contents. The thing is tea needs time to seep and with this item it vacuums all the water back as soon as it cools (1-3 Min) and may not give enough time.
