Can I use tea bags with this teapot ?

Yes, I just put them in the glass infuser instead of the tea flower. Or you could take out the infuser and just put the tea bags in the pot, the cover fits with or without the glass infuser. Loose tea I would always put in the infuser unless you plan to strain the tea. I love my pot and use it all the time! Hope this helped.

I haven't, but if you wanted to you could put the tea bag in without the infuser and just let the string hang outside the pot. I've seen some Chinese restaurants do it like that with their tea pots.

Of course. You just need to put few tea bags at a time according to your taste if you want to fill the teapot in full.

Yeah, but it's not made for that. You'll probably fit a handful of tea bags only. I also purchased the Stash tea rack and works better.

Yes you can use another teapot (same size). The plate is not hot (does not burn hand). It is warm to make tea and keep it warm.

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.

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

Yes, you can! I tried using a tea bag, but the tea tasted weak. But good idea with the loose tea, maybe the tea will come out better.

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.

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.

No, you put the tea bags in this then fill with boiling water to make tea. You don't microwave them either. You let the teapot sit for a few minutes, then pour out the tea. Enjoy!

There are little openings in the bottom of the infuser which I think would allow loose tea to escape. I have only used tea bags.

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.

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

I haven't tried brewing tea in this, but I don't see why not. You could probably just put the tea bags in the same place you would put the coffee. They would fit.

Yes! I just heat the water and add bags/packets to my cup. But the tea bags could be brewed through the coffee system. It heats the water very quickly. Hope this helps!

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?

Ted, I have two of these infusers and have used them in similar fashion to what you are asking. Although I have never put two regular tea bags inside I will say that I use two teaspoons of loose tea with plenty of room to spare. So in answer to your question I believe yes you would be able to put two regular tea bags into this infused at the same time. Hope this helps!

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.
