Brewing Basket for TeaThe Finum brewing basket turns any mug into a tea infuser mug. The basket is large enough to allow the tea leaves to expand and fine mesh keeps the smallest particles out of your tea. The lid can be used as a drip tray and it's easy to clean. I have used one for my everyday tea for years.

Glass Tea Mug with InfuserHeat-tempered clear glass tea mug with handle holds 300ml (12 fluid
ounces) of tea. This is a great way to brew loose leaf teas without
over-infusing. Place the loose tea in the infuser core, pour the hot water,
and place the top on. Watch the tea leaves unfurl as they brew. When
your tea has infused long enough, remove the top, place the top upside-down
and place the infuser core (with leaves in it) on top (this catches the
excess tea). This is also a good way to get multiple infusions out of
one batch of tea leaves. Made from heat-tempered glass and will NOT break
due to hot water.

The gaiwan is a special tea brewing vessel from China. The lid of the gaiwan keeps the tea leaves in the cup and allows the tea to be drunk from the gaiwan itself or decanted to a pouring vessel or to smaller cups to share with guests. The saucer insulates the bottom of the cup so that it can be handled when hot.
To use, rinse the gaiwan with hot water to warm it. Fill the bottom of the cup with loose tea leaves (about a teaspoon to begin) and add hot water. Quickly pour out the water. This rinses the tea and allows the tea to expand, especially for tightly rolled tea leaves. You can smell the aroma of the leaves at this point to appreciate it. Fill again with hot water and steep according to recommendations. You will know how long to steep with experience. To decant the tea, put saucer, cup and lid in one hand, position the lid slightly open on one side (just enough to pour out the liquid and retain the tea leaves in the cup) and hold in place with the thumb. Pour into pitcher or individual cups and enjoy.
This gaiwan holds 100 ml (about 3.25 ounces)
