Davidson's Tea Bulk, Herb Pure Org Hibiscus Flowers, 16-Ounce Bag



Davidson's Tea Bulk, Herb Pure Org Hibiscus Flowers, 16-Ounce Bag

I ordered the hibiscus tea based on information that drinking two cups per day would help reduce blood pressure. I have not been to the doctor yet to see if this working. The product arrived promptly. I drink two cups per day sweetened with a little stevia. My only critical comment would be that
the packaging doesn't give instructions for preparing the tea, such as how
long it should steep. I have been steeping it for five minutes. If that is too long or too short of a time I hope someone will let me know!

Bormioli Rocco Kufra Glass Jug with Ice Container and Lid



Bormioli Rocco Kufra Glass Jug with Ice Container and Lid

I've had mine for about 9 months now and I love it. I don't have a dish washer in my apartment so when I went looking for a new pitcher, it had to be easy for me to clean. This one's great. I can easily fit my hand inside to clean it. The glass is also nice and solid. I accidentally dropped it washing it one day and it was fine.

Takeya 64-Ounce Iced Tea Maker with Silicone Handle, Avocado/Olive



Takeya 64-Ounce Iced Tea Maker with Silicone Handle, Avocado/Olive

I saw a larger version of this with a separate brewer - so you'd make the tea in one vessel and then store it in another. I went in search of something more practical and this is it.
1. Good capacity and design. Makes plenty of tea and stores on the fridge shelf or on the door.
2. Some don't like the fact that the filter screws into the lid. I do like it. If you make a whole container, that's enough loose tea to have small pieces of your tea floating out of the top of the filter if you make a whole pitcher.
3. I use a java bop for my iced tea and haven't found even a speck of leaf in the finished product. Great sized mesh.
4. I use the hot water method and it stays HOT for a really long time. At first I was annoyed that I had to wait so long for it to cool down before chilling it. Then I realized that it makes it great for a table pitcher for hot beverages. I can wait for something that performs a dual-purpose well.
5. Great for using herbs, etc. to infuse just about anything.

Bodum 10619-10 Ceylon 102-Ounce Iced-Tea Maker and Water Infuser


Bodum 10619-10 Ceylon 102-Ounce Iced-Tea Maker and Water Infuser

I've used this container for about a year now and have no complaints! It's withstood the test of time and still offers a great tea/iced coffee pitcher. Im a huge ice coffee fan and this container is great for it. Large enough to hold a great deal of liquid, but slick design allows it not to take up that much room in the fridge. I've noticed the side walls becoming slightly staind from using it so much, which is understandable after a years use. But other than that, I seriously cant complain. Highly recommend for anyone who likes iced tea and enjoys offering an aesthetic pitcher to hold it in!


Aladdin Tea Infuser Mug



Aladdin Tea Infuser Mug

I have had this mug now for about 1 month and I use it every day about 5 times each day. It has never broke, got stuck or anything. It infuses the tea perfectly and then when it's done, I just pop the infuser back into the lid. The tea stays warm for about 1 1/2 hours or so. It is great for the car, park or walking to the bus stop. It's easy to clean as well. I highly recommend it.

Trudeau Tea Mendous Tea Tumbler



Trudeau Tea Mendous Tea Tumbler

This Tea-Mendous is really a tremendous product. It's a great size, easy to clean and convenient. On a chilly day I put tea in the basket, add hot water and take it with me to water aerobics. When I get out of the pool, I have hot tea waiting. This product works equally with hot, warm or cold water.

Thermos Nissan JMW500P6 16-Ounce Stainless-Steel Backpack Bottle, Silver



Thermos Nissan JMW500P6 16-Ounce Stainless-Steel Backpack Bottle, Silver

This is a super product! I take mine everywhere - in the summer it's great for ice coffee and in the winter I use it for hot coffee. I've had mine for about 6 months and use it 3-4 times a week. I love being able to drink from the bottle and not fooling around with lids and cups etc. It goes to class with me - lying flat in a briefcase and has never spilled a drop.
If you need a small thermos with built in drink spout this is IT! Oh and if you need something bigger I also bought the Nissan Thermos and it keeps things hot for over 24 hours... holds ice for days... I am so impressed. Enjoy!

Primula Flowering Tea Set with 40-Ounce Pot, Clear

Primula Flowering Tea Set with 40-Ounce Pot, Clear
This product is unbelievable. You just drop the ball in the tea pot with boiling water and it will change in front of your eyes into a beautiful flower. It is great and it would be an awesome gift! The tea pot by itself is very nice and it is easy to pour the tea to a cup. It does not leak.

Thermos Nissan 12-Ounce Stainless-Steel Tea Tumbler with Infuser



Thermos Nissan 12-Ounce Stainless-Steel Tea Tumbler with Infuser

This is a great product- leak proof with amazing heat/cold retention. For tea drinkers, I just thought I'd add a better description of how the tea lid works. It is actually not a strainer for leaving the tea leaves in the cup (the tea would be so bitter!), but an ingenious way of brewing tea! You put hot water in the cup, then screw on the strainer, add the loose tea leaves, screw the top lid on, and turn the cup upside down for a quick brew! (Since it is leak-proof, you actually can turn the cup upside down easily) After brewing, you just turn it right side up and replace the strainer holding the spent leaves with the sipping lid, and voila- a quick and pretty decent cup of tea! Highly recommended.

Adagio Teas Ingenuitea Teapot


Adagio Teas Ingenuitea Teapot

My wife bought one of these when we were vacationing in Eureka Springs a year ago, and I thought it was another gizmo to add to the cupboard. Was I wrong. I started using it more and more, mostly for green tea, and thought it would be good to have one for work as well. So I ordered one from Cooking.com and use it all the time. I just put the tea leaves in the container, add hot water, let it sit for 5 minutes, then set it on top of my cup. The valve on the bottom opens up and the tea pours into the cup, with out the leaves (with the green tea I buy from China, the leaves are full leaves, and I can get another 2 cups out of it, so refilling is easy). The nice thing is, I can use it for coffee as well as black tea. The coffee, especially if you grind your own, tastes so much better. To clean, I just invert in a trash can, and rinse out what's left.

Royal Albert Old Country Roses Le Petite 9-Piece Tea Set

This was a Christmas gift for my mother. She always wanted a tea set as a child and never had one.
Needless to say, she was thrilled and loves it. It's beautifully crafted.


FORLIFE Brew-in-Mug Extra-Fine Tea Infuser with Lid


This item is well-designed and works as advertised. Only the tiniest of particles get through (like tiny dust specks). The holes are so small that residual water inside won't pass without something forcing them through (so it leaves a few drops of water inside when removed). It fits a broad range of mugs, and the lid is sealed so that when you use it to hold the infuser between uses, it won't leak. (The silicone gasket is firmly attached to the lid, so liquid won't seep between it and the steel.) Only stainless steel comes in contact with the liquid, so there is no impact on the taste.

Finum Brewing Basket

One you use this strainer, you'll never go back to the tea infuser balls. The basket doesn't limit the amount of loose leaf you can use like the balls do, and you won't find small bits of leaf in the bottom of your cup either. The lid helps to hold in heat, and acts as a coaster for the basket when you lift it from your cup. The basket is easy to clean under running water.



Celestial Seasonings, Herbal Tea, K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig K-Cup Brewers

I really like this tea! It has great flavor and is really easy to make. I like it with just a tiny bit of sweetener and a wedge of lemon. That being said, to get the amount and strength I like for my tea I have to use 2 k-cups for one cup of tea. I usually do two 6 oz brews and it is just right. I can go up to an 8 oz brew and still have good flavor but I want more than 8oz at a time. For me it is just too expensive to use 2 k-cups at a time. I have compromised with myself and still keep the k-cups around to use if I am in a hurry (or just extra lazy) but I mostly just use the tea bags of the same flavor. I find it really isn't much more difficult or time consuming to use my keurig machine for hot water to steep a tea bag in. The tea bags are just much more economical for me.


Progressive Stainless Steel Mesh Tea Ball

I have used many things for brewing tea and have found that this Mesh Tea Ball is the best. I have used the loose tea spoons, which have a closed metal design with little holes all around. The problem with those, is the smaller loose tea pieces escape leaving unpleasant floaties in my drink. I really like the mesh design. Loose tea bits do not escape and it is much easier to fill. I cannot believe I waitied so long before getting one. Now my tea is free from floaties. This mesh design allows more of the tea to be infused by the water....leaving a much more natural and pure taste as opposed to tea bags or metal spoons. Tea bags seem to filter too much sometimes.....metal spoons almost taste metallic at times.
