Would this work with tea bags?

No reson why it wouldn't..... If you are using prepackaged teabags with the little string on them I would probably cut it off so it doesn't interfere with the plunger

Indeed it will. You don't have to utilize the "press" feature. It is awesome at keeping your drink at the temperature you put in it.

You can brew tea with loose tea, but you could not use the press with a tea bag

Sure - though you likely wouldn't need/want the plunger/filter - which is easily removed as it screws apart. :)

Kind of depends on the tea bags. You'd have to squish them down in the pod so you could close the drawer. The ones like Lipton with the paper probably wouldn't work well but regular ones should.

As long as the slots are full enough to keep the tea bags from falling over, yes. The lid has a little lip on it that provides enough room for the bags to remain upright when closed.

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.........

Not fine enough for ground spices, or even thai tea mix.Using paper teabags to infuse spices separately would probably be less messy.

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?

Not sure. But the regular tea bag, you can fold it and put it in with not problem. Hope it will help you

I found it works best on a regular size tea cup or regular . The handles will reach 4 inches in width. I love mine and use it several times a day.

Yes, it will work with a teabag as well, and in fact probably better since the leaves are all contained in the bag. You wouldn't get any loose leaves in your mouth when drinking the tea. Welcome to the tea drinkers' world. I would suggest for you to try different kinds of tea - white, green & black. And don't worry about the caffeine in it, it's not as potent as coffee and there are always herbal alternatives. Enjoy!

It Should except I like to steep my black tea's for 5 minutes or so...will have to try it though when mine gets here (already ordered it but hasnt arrived yet) as I buy my loose Tea from Harney & Sons in bulk.

I would think no...the tea bags would probably break open from the heat and force of the water

It might not. :( it measures about 2.62" wide. It fits the tazo brand tea bags perfectly. My mighty leaf brand tea bags I kind of have to fold the sides into the drawer and they are a lil over 3" wide. Hope this helps.

Yes you can put a tea bag into the pot (either with or without the strainer). I use the teapot with both loose leaf tea and tea bags. You will get a great cup(s) of tea either way!

I would say, no. It is an awesome tea chest but I don't think that would work at all. There would be no way to keep the tea bags in.

I have not tried this, but I do not see why not, so long as the tea is not loose or become loose in the process.

Each of those sections is 1 13/16" wide x 2 1/2" deep (front to back)...so it depends on the type of tea bag. I put my bottles of flavored liquid SweetLeaf Stevia in those sections. I purchased the following item for my tea bags and OG Coffee Packets: InterDesign Linus Coffee Condiment Packet Organizer for Sugar, Salt, Sweeteners, Tea Bags, Creamers - Clear

I would say that you could use this vertically, however tea bags are lumpy so I imagine they could fall out potentially.
