I like that you have plenty of space for the tea leaves to expand. I'm at the point now where I can't imagine making tea without it. When I saw Kevin Rose use this thing on Diggnation, I knew I had to get it. Even though it's made of plastic, it seems like a sturdy plastic and hasn't broken even when I'm rough with it. I wish that there was more of a "simple" and "unroasted" green tea that came with the set. I haven't yet experienced the mesh strainer popping out or "stuff" getting into my tea. There's just something about the tea leaves dancing and then the water emptying out when you put it over your cup.
I received Citron Green, Gunpowder, Hojicha, and Genmai Cha. I had never seen anything like it. It's just so convenient and interesting to watch.Unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan of three of the teas I received with this set. It's easy to clean, even if you don't pop it in the dishwasher. Everyone is intrigued in this device whenever I use it. I only liked the Citron Green, even though I normally hate citrus anything in my tea. If you're thinking of purchasing this for yourself or as a gift, you may want to go to the Adagio Tea website and pick out flavors that are better suited to the tastes of whoever is drinking the tea.
Very good choice for loose tea. The tea with the set is a little too weak for me. I tend to like the bolder flavors.
Bought this set for my mom for her birthday. She prefers tea in the afternoon as a pick-me-up instead of coffee. She was able to get the hang of brewing loose tea after an initial time or two. Has had no difficulty with the teapot and reported that the teas were really good tasting.
I don't really have much to say other than I just bought another one for me to keep at the office. Easy to use, easy to clean, and the sample teas are of good quality.
She loves it and uses it at work. She said the teas are delicious and strongly suggested I get one for myself, which I will definitely be doing.
