What is the difference between a tea spoon and a tea scoop?
A tea spoon is a versatile kitchen tool used for stirring, while a tea scoop is specifically designed for measuring loose tea leaves with precision for consistent brewing results.
What is the difference between a tea infuser and a tea strainer?
A tea infuser holds loose tea leaves during steeping, whereas a tea strainer removes tea leaves from the brewed tea, creating a smooth, leaf-free drink.
Can you use bagged tea in a tea infuser?
No, bagged tea doesn’t need an infuser, as it’s pre-portioned and contained. Infusers are ideal for loose-leaf tea.
How long should tea stay in an infuser?
Generally, steeping takes 2-3 minutes for green tea and 3-5 minutes for black tea, but you can adjust to your taste.
How to choose a tea infuser?
Choose an infuser based on size, material, and ease of cleaning. Stainless steel is durable, and fine mesh allows for optimal flavour extraction.
