We've been using these ones for years. I keep one for tea and one for coffee because it's fine enough to make real coffee with when out too It packs away inside my mug and takes a wee poly bag of tea inside it too.

I was brought up on earl grey and have become a slight tea snob because of it. Now I'm really thinking of buying that to replace the qt I've bought. I actually don't mind qt but I'd absolutely love a nice cup of earl grey. Lol.

I prefer Lady Grey myself, but the strainer works brilliantly for either of them

Lady grey is nice for breakfast.

I like lapsang souchong or gunpowder for breakfast : ) though I sometimes just start a mug with one of the hand tieds and keep that going all morning. Jade rings were in the mug this morning though

hows this for a pound - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tea-Ball-In...F8&qid=1390468368&sr=8-2&keywords=tea+infuser I like earl grey too but the water up here has fluoride in it and you cant experience the full taste.

Same issue as the clamp one. Filling it's a footer, the fine tea comes through the mesh, and it's crushable in a pack.

Brewing in a mug means that the leaves don't get room to swell properly when further confined in most strainers and they don't settle the way they do in a pot.
I think that's why the mug shaped, and very fine meshed, strainer really does work so well. It's fits inside my mug, but has a greater volume to allow the tea leaves to soak and swell, to mask and give off their full flavour. It simply lifts out and a gentle tap removes the leaves for disposal.....unless using a multiple infusion leaf when the strainer can just be set down on it's wee cover.....which is another good thing It keeps the tea warm as it's masking.....I've minded the English.....when it's brewing (always sounds like beer to me )

Sounds like someone is a tad addicted to tea! jokes! Lol.

Could be worse you could be addicted to cigarettes like me! :/

Another recommendation for Toddy's tea infuser. I got one a while back and think its excellent.
