kyrielle (the package arrived safely today. Thanks so much!), we've found another tea that Cordelia likes-- Coco Truffle from teaforte.com. It's considerably cheaper purchased as a loose tea than in bags, so I want to go in that direction. Unfortunately, our old tea ball was destroyed a few weeks ago when our cleaning lady dumped it into the garbage disposal. I didn't realize it was down there and ran the disposal. Fortunately, the disposal came out fine. The tea ball, however, had to go in the trash.
Now, I'm looking online to see what's available in terms of tea balls/infusers/whatever. There are a lot of options, and I'm bewildered by them. I want a tea cup infuser, not a pot infuser. I know that much. We have a teapot, but we've never used it, and we're not likely to start any time soon. Generally, when we have tea, we each have a different kind. That being the case, I might, if the infuser is inexpensive enough, buy more than one. Having the option to make more than one cup of tea from loose leaf would be nice.
Anyway, I know there are people in my circle who know more about tea than I do. Do any of you have recommendations about what to look for in a tea ball/infuser? If you're local, do you know, is there a tea shop in Ann Arbor? It seems like the sort of thing we might have, but I don't know anything about it.
