If you have a sewing machine, do what I do. Sew up small bags on three sides from thin pellon or even coffee filters; they don't have to be perfect. Fill with proper amount of tea leaves and stitch shut on fourth side. Don't even bother to tie off, just let the thread dangle. This is lots easier than it sounds, and allows the use of leaves without the mess.

I didn't see them online, but if you call, they sell the sock thing you mention… and it's Nashville, not south of the border.
ChrisMay 31, 2008 at 1:56 am #1435885As another poster has already said, here in the UK we're big tea drinkers so the range here is huge.
The majority of people here drink English Breakfast tea(A blend of Assam and Ceylon)and despite its name, not just at breakfast time.
Tea bags are more popular than loose tea.
It also possible to get Freeze Dried tea in a jar in the same way you can get freeze dried coffee. The tea is made, water extracted and the remainng granules sold. This can be really useful when backpacking. You can dispense the required amount into individual sachets before your trip and when you need a drink just add the granules to your hot water.
You can also get a powdered tea here that has powdered milk already added. I don't think the powdered tea is quite as good as the freeze dried (taste wise) but it does have the powdered milk as well so that can save youmore packaging etc. Both products are easily available in supermarkets here.
