Would the infuser work with tagless bagged tea?

I am sure they would work, but you don't need the infuser if you are using a tea bag really anyway.

Yes. It works fine with bagged tea. The strainer is included for loose leaf tea, but there is nothing stopping you from using it for tagless bagged tea. I definitely recommend this if you are an everyday tea drinker!

Yes, Republic of Tea tagless tea bags fit perfectly inside of the infuser with plenty of room

Yes, it would fit over the infuser. I don't think it was designed for that purpose, but it could work!

Yep. FYI, the holes are kind of big, so it's not the best infuser for finer loose teas.

No, the infuser that holds the tea does all the work, it's really just for looks, I would never make iced tea with these because the whole point is for it to look nice in a tea cup for your guests as it steeps in the hot water. Make sure you buy tea bag holders as you can use the same infuser to make a second or third cup of tea.

No, the entire infuser, including handle, is roughly 3 inches wide (other people may have a more accurate estimate), so I'd think it will be too small.

Ryan, ours did not come with a tea infuser. With the strainer on the spout, you don't need one for the blooming tea which is what we use it for. We haven't tried loose tea but it should work for that also. Amazon has one like we normally use for loose tea.

It would definitely work for loose leaf tea, but you may want to buy half pound coffee vacs for your different teas!

I don't think it would handle loose leaf tea well. The slots are a medium size slot.

Yes, definitely. I used it for tea as well just the way it is. If I need more than just one cup of tea, I would measure the water, and placed the tea bags in the infuser and make three, or four cups of tea at once. Good luck.

The infuser basket is removable. I find that the basket is fine for bulky teas, just let the tea steep for longer and save on herbs in the long run! I do think that the basket could be replaced with a longer one but find it unnecessary do to the reason mentioned above. Less is more. : )

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 bought it for my husband & he uses tea bags. Hasn't even used the mesh basket for loose leaf tea. I don't think the mesh basket is tight enough to hold a powder tea in. Maybe you could but the powdered tea in cheese cloth & then in the mesh basket?

Yes it will, I have used herbal teas which are fine but some residue does come out but that's with any strainer or extra fine tea. Holes are small tho it works well you will be satisfied. Just follow my other post to make sure the gap is sealed . those that use ground teas please read title before buying and giving bad reviews. It's your fault for buying a ground tea and using a loose leaf strainer.........

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.

If I understand your question correctly: if the mouth of the container (diameter) is wider than the distance between the hooked side and the end of the flat handle, then I don't think the infuser would stay in place (although perhaps you could use pliers to bend the hook further so that it clutches the rim of the container?). If the other side of the container's mouth will support the flat handle side, it's fine. I hope that helps!

Sure, but if you just stuffed a tea bag in there it would take longer to brew. A better way might be to cut the bag open and pour the loose tea into the infuser.
