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.

I too use a clay teapot. I went to a Pakistani supermarket the other
day and bout 3Kg of loose leaf Indian tea (Premier grade). It is a
nice tea and cheap for the quality. Furthermore, there are no
problems with composting.
