As I was telling Kate last night, I’ve gone tea. It’s really a cost saving maneuver, as I tend to go out to coffee at least once a day, and even Americano’s get expensive when you tip a dollar per cup.
So I went to Peet’s Coffee down the street and picked up a FORLIFE in mug tea brewer. It brews loose leaf tea in the mug. It is stainless steel, and includes a built in drip catcher that keeps the desk free from drips. Here are some shots of it in action:

As you can see it has a nice little handle for lifting it out. This also serves as a nice way to bang it against the trashcan to empty the used Tea bits.

Well, I had my hopes high for Yaaar!Tis me blog! But the graphics weren’t so hot. Narnia is awsome though.
I just wanted to let you know that if you are going tea, you should check out Rishi. They are loose so you can use them in your contraption. I’ts a little pricey, but their Jasmine green and Earl Green are out of this world. Remember, when you brew green the water needs to be not quite boiling or it will make the tea acrid, also, brew for only a minute for the same reason. If you get tea in a cafe you can assuage this by having them put a little cold water in the bottom of the cup to keep it calm.

Yes, I think we’d better wait for YTMB version 2.0. The gorey-esque white on black Narnia is very cool, I agree.
Earl Green? I just picture Dad in a Robin Hood costume. Thanks for the advice about cooling the water down. I get my hot water at work from a water ‘cooler’, so I’ll add a little cold to regulate.
