A glass tea pot is a wonderful idea and so is using little tea balls as Christmas ornaments.<br /><br />Hope you are enjoying your weekend, Marilyn.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16675573152135600754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-89247151372650508582011-01-16T06:59:49.938-08:002011-01-16T06:59:49.938-08:00First of all, I had no idea about putting tea on t...First of all, I had no idea about putting tea on the plants. <br /><br />Second, I DO have those balls and spoons, but mostly I use my strainer that fits in the top of my pot when I do loose tea. It's just easier. But I didn't realize that the best reason was because of expanding tea! Who knew? You knew!<br /><br />Someone gave me some filters for Christmas. Haven't tried them yet (though one of our coffee shops uses them and they seem fine.)<br /><br />My verification code is "iseen."

My husband put the tea leaves on our roses and he commented just the other day "our roses were better this year than ever before!"

I appreciate you letting me email my questions to you. The tea 'ball' I bought the other day is about three to three-and-a-half inches across, mesh and open in the middle. Wondering if there's enough room to let the tea dance. Maybe it will work until I get my 'order' from Marmalady's next time we meet.<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-27191816475277839452011-01-14T11:57:22.067-08:002011-01-14T11:57:22.067-08:00I don't use the tea balls or spoons.

I usually use a tea ball but I am never sure if I am wasting tea as there always seems to be so much tea leaves packed into the ball...even when I cut back on the amount of tea it's still packed in there tight. I have seen little strainers that would fit over the cup so maybe I will pick one up and try making it loose in the pot.<br /><br />I do use old tea for my plants and I also put left over Green tea or other favored teas, tealeaves and all, in the fridge to throw onto the blender later when making smoothies.Marisa @ Getting Back To Basicshttp://marjean-gettingbacktobasics.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
