I think most civilised people drink loose leaf tea in Bodum glass
infusers.

Do they??? Then I must be uncivilised since I make my tea in an
old-fashioned teapot! A Bodum indeed! I know no-one who does such a
thing! Coffee yes, tea no.

Sadly it is becoming steadily more difficult to find loose leaf tea
in supermarkets.

I've never had problems finding loose leaf tea. I don't drink coffee so
I would be severely deprived if I couldn't find loose leaf tea.

Man after my own heart! Well, metaphorically, anyway...

I only drink tea from loose-leaves, and don't touch coffee. I've about
twenty five varieties of tea, and the infusion is nearly always in a
pot, though sometimes Japanese tea or Gunpowder is made in a mug, as
both can be infused three times, each infusion being finer than the
preceding one - except the first one, for obvious reasons.
