When I first got these, it surprised me the filters were so big. However, I think the size is just to give you leeway over how you use these. I could easily see it being chucked into a huge pitcher of water to cold steep any tea blend of your choosing.

Overall, I am thrilled with this product. I think these work great for certain teas (e.g. herbal, rooibos, green etc.) But with others, it is better to let the leaves dance in the water, lol!

Like I did not like these for oolong or teas with large chunks of dark chocolate (sometimes I need to swirl the teas around a bit in hot water to get them to melt)

But a great product! The real taste for me was to see if these let any rooibos teas poke through since rooibos (since the leaves of this plant can be so tiny). And success! No rooibos got through, so I am quite happy with this product.

If you should ever want something more reusable, these are my favorite:

The only thing I generally break out the filter bags for is chamomile, because the little stamens are so tiny!

Hello everyone!

So, how did I get into tea? I think I have always had a fascination with tea. But I really got obsessed with it after watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. I loved how Uncle Iroh used tea as a way to both practice self-care and connect with others.

I aspire to do the same through my tea endeavours.

My Favourite Canadian Small Tea Businesses: (Thus far! As I explore new tea brands, I am sure this list will grow)

Dessert by Deb
The Tea Haus
The Chai Brewing Company

My Preferred Preparation:
For black teas, I prefer the stove-top method with milk and sugar. For all other teas and herbal infusions, I usually prefer having them hot without any add-ins. However, I do like an occasional iced tea! Especially for some fruity or floral blends.

My Tea Preferences:
I enjoy flavoured teas more than straight teas; however, I do have a soft spot for traditional green or oolong teas.

Favourite Flavours:
- Masala chai (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and other warming spices!)
- Cream
- Mint
- Tropical fruit (lychee, mango, pineapple)
- Maple 
- Orange
- Roasted/smokey
- Caramel
- Floral (especially jasmine)
- Honey
- Nuts (hazelnut, almond)
- Sweet potato
- Fall fruits (apples, cranberries)
- Earl Grey
- Vanilla bean

Least Liked Flavours:
- Anything that tastes too artificial (especially vanilla or chocolate!)

- Tart (too much hibiscus)

- Ginseng

- Guarana powder 

- Coconut oil (or oily teas)

- Red rooibos
