I haven't ventured into loose leaf tea yet. Can I steep bagged tea in this? If yes, how many bags per pot?

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

hello, yes you could steep tea bags in this tea pot. I would recommend two tea bags, it makes 3 8oz cups of tea. I love my tea pot I use it daily with tea bags and loose leaf.
472911
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 guess one would be OK. I don't like and I don't use any bagged tea.... it tastes differently...

You can probably stuff up to 20 Lipton individually wrapped tea bags in each section, but as the other reviewers have mentioned, it will be tight and you will not be able to read the label on each bag. Each compartment will hold 15 easily. Just for comparison- I was also able to comfortably fit 15 STASH tea bags in a section and 7 Celestial Seasonings packets (each has 4 tea bags in it, but you will need to remove one of the short dividers for this) in the box.

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 great for steeping bagged tea! The opening is rather narrow, though, so a diffuser with loose tea may not fit.

Yes, put loose tea in the diffuser and pour boiling water for black tea and not quite boiling water for green/white/herbal teas over the tea leaves and into the pot. Make sure you make 2-3 cups (typically 1 level tsp of tea per 8 oz of water) to cover the tea in the diffuser. One cup is not enough. Steep black tea for 3-5 mins and green tea for 2-3 mins. Enjoy.

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.

This works equally well as a tea pot, you just measure your fresh loose leaf tea and place it in the container, pour in the hot, not quite boiling water wait a minute or so and apply the press. Makes wonderful tea. Haven't used tea bags at this time but it would probably work well also.

My wife and I have various sized tea bags. We tend to do a trial and error depending on the tea you use. For normal, one cup, lipton sized bags; we use about 6 for mild tea, and 8-10 when we want it stronger. We also have some chinese loose tea that we also use. Most will depend on how strong you want, plus a trial and error.

The boxes I purchase have 120 teabags and each teabag makes one cup of tea. The person with the question may in fact be looking at loose tea, which I have not purchased from Du. I love the tea and normally purchase 3 or 4 boxes at a time.

Hi! I use 2 large Lipton tea bags. It depends on how strong you like your tea.

I haven't used mine yet. However, I did buy two other tea pots from here and they were perfectly fine after pouring the boiling water over the teabags. I'm sure it would be fine. To make sure, I would start out with allowing the water to cool for a little while (at least one minute) before pouring, and or just pour a little at a time to see what happens.

This is my sincere answer to your question. We use the hot water from this electric kettle to prepare individual tea, coffee and for other hot drinks. I can assure you will not be disappointed with this electric kettle . It is very fast to boil the water compared to our whirpool electric cooking rang. Since you asked me how many tea bags do I put in it? Don't you think it will eventually stains the kettle inner surface with tea/coffee stains ?

Hello, The pot we purchased was 18/10 and is very sturdy and has held up very well to use. We have enjoyed using it. However, it is not a pot for use in steeping a single cup. It takes about 24 ounces of water to cover the infuser well enough steep a pot of tea. If you are steeping tea for two or more it is great, but it would not work for a single cup. I hope this helps!

Steep you tea in the basket after brewing to your taste. Then squeeze tea bag and allow to drain into container. I order the gallon Lipton tea bags from Amazon. You will love your Ice Tea Machine. It's great. I have used an ice tea maker for over 20 years.

Each tea bag is stitched closed. But you can brew with less than 5 gal of water per tea bag if you prefer.

infusers are not designed for tea bags, they're to be used with loose tea that has not been ground finely like the bags. The ball is 2" diameter, so place the amount of loose tea that you hope to use into a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a ball. If the size is under 2" in diameter, this will work for you.

I use 8 regular-sized tea bags, but it really depends on how strong you prefer your tea to be :)
