For single serve. I got one of those all in one gong fu sets.
It's basically a steeper inside a pot.
You let the tea steep for how ever long you need it to, then you press a button and the steeper will drain into the pot.
I like it because you don't have to handle a separate steeping vessel that'll get w.e. surface you place it on wet.

Gonna be ordering some loose leaf tea soon from an store online. Trying not to spend too much money, thinking of getting 3oz of Masala Chai, Citron Green, Turmeric Bliss, and a sampler that contains a decent amount of samples of orchard white teas, those being white peach, blueberry, strawberry, and eternal spring.

That's happened to 2 of my neighbors. They don't knock. They just bust in the door, confiscate the property, and sell it at auction before anything happens with your case. If you don't have actual pot/drugs, they apologize and toss you out on the street. Regardless, they destroy your gardens and take the house to get that sweet quick cash. Thankfully, the neighbors got their property back, but only because I happened to know the guy who buys up lots of that stuff. The cops don't do it nearly as much now since he stopped buying from them for that very reason.
