Tools :
Tea Pots - There are Ceramic pots , Stainless Steal , As well as Glass.
Tea Infusers - There are a few that are made of a type of plastic material that rest on the rim of the mug where the loose leaf tea leaves are held. Or Metal baskets that close and you submerge into the hot water.
You can also purchase a form of a tea bag for loose leaf that you also rest on the rim of the mug.
Tea Press - the Same as a coffee press. When using a press DO NOT press on the leaves, It will release that bitter taste that most people do not like.
