I don't like tea at all, but reading lots of these graphic tea-posts.......I don't know............it's giving me ideas of I don't know what.......and all these names.... and the special cups....infusers (?).........

I almost feel I must join this teaclub.

Edit: I'm seriously thinking about it.
LOL, I know what you mean! Before assimilation, I felt the same way. An infuser is just a "basket" that you put loose tea in when you make it, to keep from having to strain tealeaves with your teeth. Basically it takes the place of a teabag, and allows you to use bigger tealeaves instead of "tea dust" that will fit in bags. This in turn, allows more flavor in your cup.
