Tea Infusers (Pots)

I'm looking for a decent tea infuser, 0.5-1ltr is fine capacity wise.

Was looking at a few Bodum one's, but not sure they accept loose tea (just leaves?), but I really need one for (fine) loose tea.

Adagio Tea Do a great little infuser that you put the tea and hot water in, leave it for a few minutes then hold it over your mug / cup and press it down - the water goes through a valve in the base and filters the tea and then stops when you pick it up again!

Its called the ingenuiTEA - funky name!

I tend to just put a pinch of fresh tea in the bottom of the mug - none of this filtering lark! that little one cup filter is a bugger to keep clean!

On a separate note - what tea you drinking? Any recommendations? I am really into Oolong at the moment.

That looks nice Rich. Any idea what size cups it is for?

As for teas I drink: Ceylon (my current favourite), Green, Jasmine, Chinese, Oolong, Lapsang and Traditional English

It holds about 2 cups worth apparently (or 16oz if you are a Yank).

I meant what cups it fits (the description says it clips over the top of a cup to start releasing the tea.
