Omnivorous Surfer

Oh, how I do enjoy a cup of tea, especially with a good book on these cold, cloudy days. After reading an email  (the contents of which don't seem to be on her website) from Isabel De Los Rios on the differences between and the health benefits of the different varieties of teas, I found Adagio Teas online. I ordered some samplers and an IngenuiTEA "teapot," I we tried out the pot and the chai tea this evening. Mmmmmm! I like both!



I have always preferred loose tea to bagged tea--much better flavor and no tea dust--and this teapot provides the easiest way I can imagine to deal with loose tea. A reusable filter fits snugly in the bottom of the tea pot. You can boil the water in the microwave in the pot, add the tea, and steep. Then comes the neat part; you set it on top of your cup or pitcher, depending on which size pot you have, and the tea pours out of the bottom, leaving the leaves in the pot. Then dump out the leaves, rinse, and put the pot in the dishwasher! Much better than using the infusers I have tried.

I may have to have both sizes of the IngenuiTEA...and I'll definitely have to order more tea from Adagio!
