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 :-)

Ooh, a mini compost! Please do share your progress, I'm producing a lot of spent tea-leaves and I'm wondering what to do with them c:
