Brewing bulk loose tea leaves is a slightly messier proposition then simply using tea bags in tea cups. Luckily, the tea press simplifies the task. Buy a tea press for making tea for an individual or for a group. Since all tea presses can be used for coffee and a French coffee press easily doubles as a tea press, shopping for a tea press is a simple endeavor.
Instructions
1. Decide on the size and style tea press you need. Tea presses range from individual press-style travel mugs to large, practical tea presses that may serve a dozen cups of tea or more. Designs vary, including the practical Bodum tea press with a simple plastic and metal plunger and a plain cylinder-shaped carafe, to the elegant Bodum Chambord Coffee/Tea French Press with stainless steel pot rest.
2. Visit the English Tea Store online to look at a variety of tea presses. Shop around at local stores as well, including department stores and discount housewares retailers, such as Home Goods, TJ Maxx, and Bed, Bath & Beyond.
3. Check out Liquid Planet for its large selection of coffee and tea presses. They offer a variety of "Desk Press" individual mug tea press choices. These personal mugs come in a variety of colors and are excellent for daily use at home or on the job.
4. Find a tea cozy to keep the tea press warm after steeping the tea. Look for a Koffee Kozee, made especially for tea/ coffee press-style carafes, from Koffee Kompanions online.
