    Recently ended up neck deep in Japanese teas, love them so much! In particular genmaicha.

    I know it should be loose leaves, but I usually use a paper tea bag, because I don’t like to clean the tea pot. 100C for 30seconds. Delicious.

    This is a cooked, wet-store pu’er. I’m using a set of tea pliers (more convenient than the more traditional tea knives) to break some off for brewing.

    This is that tea brewed in my portable pot/cup combo.

    Recently decided i didn’t like the plastic in teabags so i got a small spherical metal strainer. I use loose leaf Yorkshire tea from tesco, add three quarters of a teaspoon into the strainer, pour boiling water through the strainer into the mug, swish it around for a minute. Many, many times a day :-) i’m gonna start a mini-compost bin for the used leaves :-)
