Is Loose Leaf Tea Difficult?

Quick Answer

Not at all, if you can make a cup of tea, you can make a cup of loose leaf tea. It just takes one extra small step.

A Little More

The only real difference is that you need something to hold the leaves while they brew, an infuser, a strainer, or a teapot with a built-in filter — and then remove it once your tea's ready. That's genuinely the whole learning curve. Everything else (water, time, temperature) is exactly what you're already used to.

Teaspoon Tip

Start with a simple infuser basket before investing in anything fancier, it's the easiest way and you'll quickly find out what kind of brewing suits you.
