Does it take loose leaf tea?

I am sure it would but you might have tea tasting water should you use the kettle for just plain hot water. I'd do loose leaf tea in a cup at a time but surely it would work fine in the kettle. Good luck!

No, you would need to boil the water in the kettle and then pour it over the tea in another vessel.

This is only for boiling water. At least that is what I use it for. I make the actual tea in a separate ceramic tea pot. Hope it helps.

I'd strongly recommend you not put anything but clean, fresh, cold water into this appliance. It's a kettle, intended for heating or boiling water; not a tea pot, in which you brew tea.

Yes both work, but you are buying a product more made for loose tea since it comes with a loose tea infuser. Save your money and use a regular mug if you want to use a tea bag.

It's definitely made with loose leaf tea in mind but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to put a tea bag in there.

I don't think it would handle loose leaf tea well. The slots are a medium size slot.

Yes put loose tea in the metal infuser put the infuser in the tea pot and put boiled water in tea pot. After about two minutes remove the tea leaves or the whole infuser and drink your tea

Haven't bought the tea bags for a couple of years now. I liked the loose leaf better because I can make it stronger or weaker depending on how I want it for the day. I've had the loose leaf for over six months before I get to the sealed bag and I've not noticed any difference.

Yes loose leaf is the preferred type just put it in a muslum bag or something similar so you don't have to strain the tea out of the water, you can also use tea bags if you like a certain brand and this kit comes with loose leaf tea and the muslum bags for brewing

It Should except I like to steep my black tea's for 5 minutes or so...will have to try it though when mine gets here (already ordered it but hasnt arrived yet) as I buy my loose Tea from Harney & Sons in bulk.

I use the solofill reusable kcup it works well with loose leaf tea. you need to break up the leaves first but gives a passable cup when I amkm in a hurry and don''t have the time to steep a cup of tea

I use a tea ball for loose leaves and also have not had a problem. In addition, you can buy empty reusable tea bags in bulk either here or for much cheaper on ebay. They work well too, just like the normal tea bags with a string that we are all accustomed to.

No, Guinevere, it doesn't and it doesn't have an removable infuser included either. This is a nuisance if you don't already have an infuser that fits. I do (happy accident.) You might want to use it for white, green and oolong teas and thinking of multiple infusions. But it is usually best to pull the leaves out while you drink your tea so you don't leave the happy realm of perfectly steeped tea into the dank dungeon of stewed tea. In short, you need a infuser. I love this tea pot for its blue color and its size, but it does drip. Karon

Yes it can. You can either put loose tea in a filter in the coffee holder or you can put the tea bags in the coffee holder that goes on the top and sits above the water line.

No - it doesn't push down like a coffee air compressor. But when it comes to loose leaf tea, it is better not to squeeze the life out of them :) It's an excellent strainer.

Yes, the diffuser is for loose tea. Add the boiling water and it steeps. Personnally, I use a teabag and don't use the diffuser.Marianne

This infuser is designed for the larger leaf loose teas. To show how cute I thought it was, I ordered the infuser - then ordered the appropriate tea.

It strains every tea we've tried. Haven't tried rooibos but have tried other loose leaf teas and it worked fine.

Does not say! One packet with the loose tea can be used up to 64 fluid Oz of water. Hope this helps!
