Can you put loose leaf tea in this? Or would you get to many floated?

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.

You can't put loose leaf tea in it!! The holes are too big for tea leaves. Infact, some lemon seeds can get through the holes too - so you have to be careful about that.

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.

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

You can put loose tea in it and steep. It's a press so it will keep the tea leaves in when you press and pour your tea. Love mine!

I wouldn't try it. If you just boil water and slowly poor over loose tea you tea pot will work great.

It shouldn't all fall out, but some will, but a little loose tea floating wont affect the taste. Just let it all sink down to the bottom and then you can drink it like normal.

Yes, the diffuser is for loose tea. Add the boiling water and it steeps. Personnally, I use a teabag and don't use the diffuser.Marianne

I can't tell you from experience, but you should be able to use one of those reusable containers for the Keurig and have it work Ok. Again, I don't know, but, if it is unsatisfactory through the Keurig, Amazon has a stainless steel loose tea holder that works very well.

I drink a lot of tea but never figured how many cups per lb. All loose tea should be kept in air tight glass or metal containers. Never in plastic. I use small jars and put sone of the tea in the rest goes in the freezer. That way it lasts for a long time and is always fresh.

I wouldn't even if it's ok. But you can prepare your tea the same I prepare coffee. Put the loose tea leaves first. Then pour the boiling water on top. Cover with the plunger/filter at the level of the water. Wait until the desired strength and then push the plunger/filter all the down. Wait a little bit and then pour the tea in your cup. Enjoy.

I don't see why not although you would have to use tea bags. Loose tea would get through the strainer insert since the holes are not that fine.

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.

There is a large tea net that goes inside of the kettle. You can use a bag or loose leaves. Its easy to remove and rinse out once you're done brewing the tea. EDIT: Actually, if you look at the second picture of the teapot, you can see the white plastic mesh that is in the middle. You can put whatever you want into it.

We keep all our tea bags in our box . don't know if loose tea would work. Try a small batch to see if it works. I think it would.

This will hold at least 4 teaspoons of loose tea, with room for expansion. Including loose teas with decent size pieces of dried fruit. I hope this helps.

Yes you may. I put hot tea and added water to dilute. Let it cool then put into refrigerator. Make sure the the spout handle is far enough back from the door when closed or you will have a lot of liquid dumped.

Yes, it's fine for all types of loose tea. You can pour boiling water directly into the teapot.
