Will this hold enough loose tea to make a picture of tea?

Bill - It can hold up to 5 teaspoons - but I do not think that is enough to really flavor a full pitcher of tea. It is designed for a single cup (including a large mug / travel mug).

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

No. There is a basket to hold the tea leaves. It is shown to the right of the tea pot in the picture.

The teapot and cups are pretty small, but if you refilled the teapot and poured the tea, you would get about one good gulp. It won't hold much liquid, but it's child size.

The holes are small, you can get a straight pin through them.If your tea is fine like that in a tea bag it will not work.

i don't see why not. but i'd suggest you use a tea bag for your loose tea. the container that comes with the jar is for ice only: no holes on it to let water go through. That tube is not for tea.

The packaging says that it would be good for loose leaf tea, but I feel that the slits would be too large and the leaves would fall through. You could always wrap the leaves in cheese cloth and put it in the ball, or I have had success putting some ground spices in a coffee filter and folding it up and putting it in the ball with fruit.

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 think it probably would. The infuser basket is quite narrow, so larger tea bags would probably have to be worked with a bit to get them down in the basket. I have never used the cup with any hot liquids either, but I believe the plastic is sturdy enough to hold up to hot water/tea infusing.

A small picture that is no more than a inch wide should fit if it's rolled up. It fits a vial the size of sample perfumes in it. Hope that helps

Yes. I believe so. Your pictures won't be touching much paper though. It's a really lovely album.

How much tea do you drink? I think it would hold about 15 Lipton tea bags still in their paper folder, maybe more. I have 3 large heads of garlic in it now and there is a little room left over. It is an attractive piece. Good luck.

Yes, I would recommend you use a cup that can hold at least 9oz of fluid and at least 3 1/2 inches wide at the top of the cup. This will allow you to rest the Teavana Perfect Tea device on the cup to drip fully into your cup without spilling out. You'll love having this device and it travels well, so take it with you where ever you may go!

No, this sieve / strainer is very small and insubstantial. Its best use might be for straining loose tea over a mug.

It really depends on how strong you like your tea. I personally use three family size tea bags. The instructions say you can use regular size tea bags (I usually use 4) and you can also use loose tea.

The little holder , infuser, can hold enough tea for the mug. I usually get few mug from the tea leaves. It gets a little weaker eat time but still can hold enough for the mug. If I'm understanding the question correctly.

Yes but not very many would fit, this jar is a better for spices or small amounts of loose leaf tea.
