Does it settle to the bottom of tea

The quick answer is YES, it does settle. For the longer answer, seeing that I don't normally drink tea. I was curious about an answer for your question. Ceylon cinnamon is very finely ground, like powder. But in actuality it is tree bark. So while it will blend into tea or any hot liquid it does not dissolve like sugar or salt. That having been said, If I liked tea and cinnamon and wanted to mix them to have me a really good tasting cup of tea, I would do it. I would not really mind giving it a little stir once in a while. I hope this comments have been of some help to you. Have a good day.Bob The quick answer is YES, it does settle. For the longer answer, seeing that I don't normally drink tea.

This Ceylon cinnamon is a very "fine" cinnamon. It's almost like a powder so it doesn't "clump" and float on top of tea like non cinnamon. It's easy to stir into tea and seems to blend well. I wasn't sure if it settled on the bottom or not though, so I tried it this morning. Unfortunately, I got interrupted before I finished my tea and it sat on my desk longer than usual. When I finished it, there was some cinnamon left in the bottom of the cup. I don't know if settled out because it sat longer or if it would have settled there anyway. Since it blended into the tea so much easier than non ceylon cinnamon, I think if I had stirred the tea when I came back to it the cinnamon may not have settle to the bottom but I don't know that for sure. There was definitely not as much cinnamon on the bottom of the cup as what I had put in.

Yes, it has a flat bottom. However, I do not recommend this mug for ANY hot beverage. The handle is a heat-sink, making it too hot to hold.

I don't think it touches the bottom. It sits like an inch off the very bottom. But the way I mix it is to plunge it up and down a few times. It mixes really vigorously.

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.

No, it doesn't. Sometimes food does stay at the very bottom where there are no holes but my eight month old usually squeezes it up or I give him a hand.

Paulk - that is absolutely correct. Pushing the plunger part of the handle extends the bottom bowl so you can use it as a measuring cup to get the right amount of tea. Releasing the plunger closes the two halves. Hope that helps. Don (Co-founder, Schefs)

It does, but the rubber coaster-like attachment on the bottom doesn't totally prevent slipping. I recommend sitting down and holding it between your knees, rather than trying to hold it down on the counter/tabletop.

Not to worry - this tea ball will not be top heavy. The ball is at the bottom of the mug, therefore the weight is at the bottom.

No it stays in that position but its kind of sunken in bottom but my Son isn't complaing lol.

Yes. In addition, generally, the tea is made a little stronger. That way people can add water from the bottom to make it to their desired strength after pouring a little tea into their cups.Just be sure to remove the brewing basket once you get the tea brewed.

It doesn't have to be pressed to the bottom. The press slides down according to the liquid level.

Yes... Unless you want to drink a bunch of tea leaves. The basket has no top to hold the tea in place while drinking.

It shouldn't all fall out, but some will, but a little loose tea floating wont affect the taste. Just let it all sink down to the bottom and then you can drink it like normal.

Nope... I know exactly what you are asking (don't you just hate when that happens?). But no, this has no lip or groove for tea leaves to get stuck in. It rinses quickly and easily. I tap the tea leaves into my compost bucket, rinse under running water and hang to dry. No fuss, no muss. I've uploaded a closeup photo, and got a "thank you for uploading your photo" from Amazon, but not sure where they put it. Hope it shows up and is helpful to you.

I doubt it. It comes to a sharp point at the bottom. Every other coffee make I've seen has a flat bottom.

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.

The lid for the samovar where the teapots sits has a dip that fits the bottom of the tea pot exactly. The bottom of the teapot is designed to sit nicely into the dip on the lid. I hope that makes sense. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
