It stores green tea leaves very nicely; in fact, that's the main reason for my purchase of this product.

All I can do is hope this helps you, as I am not a tea drinker. I will say that the first pound of coffee beans still had the robust aroma of coffee down to the bottom of the container. I have since filled it full (It holds well over a pound of coffee beans.) and just love the great smells coming from the container each and every time I open it. The lid fits snugly; you must press the button on the side of the lid to ease the lid off and on. I hope this helps you.

I am not sure the recommended method of storing tea leaves. If it is dark and dry, then yes, I'd say this container would do it. As I mentioned upon pushing the side button to open or close the top, it is air that is pushed out, but it is not a vacuum seal.

Well, Jim -- I haven't the slightest, not being a tea drinker. But -- and just a surmise -- a vacuum container should help the "life" of tea leaves just as well as coffee beans, wouldn't you think? (I really don't have any real proof re the vacuum/coffee bean theory either) But, if this is any help: I do have a jewish friend who'd say, "Try it; it could help......" BJ

I store the tea in my pantry, some in a glass jar, the rest in it's bag. I purchased it a year ago and it's still fine. Great smoky flavor. One of my favorites. Hope you enjoy it. I don't know about storing in the fridge. (I wouldn't).

Yes, you can! I tried using a tea bag, but the tea tasted weak. But good idea with the loose tea, maybe the tea will come out better.

Do you brew the tea into a carafe filled with ice? If not the advantage would be that by the time the tea is done brewing its already chilled and ready to drink. Also, you can store the leftover tea in the container in the fridge. I suppose you could do that with the coffee carafe too, but I guess that means no coffee until that's done. :) Long story short: if that system is working for you I guess you don't "need" this brewer, BUT I am still loving mine for its convenience and simplicity.

I would not say a loss of flavor. If you are concerned, you can always store tea in the freezer.

The storage areas is broken into 3 compartments. I actually keep tea bags in one compartment and then put coffee pods in the other 2 (caf and decaf). It is versatile and I think you could put anything in the compartments from tea to sugar packets to napkins or spices or whatever you use plenty of in the kitchen and want to keep handy.

Yes you can, but you have to put the tea on the bottom, not in the basket. I use it that way.

This is the best green tea I have every purchased. I can brew the leaves twice and the tea is delicious. When I an done I will use the leaves for one of two things. I will blend them in my juice or dry them out for my doves. I really spent my moneyes well with this tea. You will enjoy it.

No. You are supposed to steep it in boiling water just like you would tea leaves.

Yes, you can, but to be honest, if you want to use it for coffee again, I would use a completely separate pot for the tea. I have 2 - one for coffee, and one for tea.

Yes. Green tea has anywhere from 10% to 50% as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.

Tea leaves all have caffeine, including green tea. This is an herbal supplement, but it is NOT herbal tea. Herbal teas do not use tea leaves, thus no caffeine.

I let my tea brew for 2hours, take out teabags then refrigerate or serve. It gets bitter if you let it set out overnight.

Yes you can have hot water only and can put a tea bags or leaves in your cup. Make sure to run it first after you take out the old pod before you make your tea. Otherwise you will have a cup of tea that has a coffee flavor to it!

Hello, No I don't, you don't need to do it. But you should know that you cant leave the tea leaves into hot water more than 3 minutes. so, I serve one cup of tea and the water level goes under the basket, and you dont need to remove it, but if you are going to carrie it It would be better if you dispense the used leaves, you can put the basket again, the water goes through the basket.

To be honest it's hard for me to answer that because I really don't know how fine your tea leaves are. I use loose tea as well and I haven't done any tea fishing, so I think it'll be okay. I hoped that helped a little.

You can't put loose leaf tea in it!! The holes are too big for tea leaves. Infact, some lemon seeds can get through the holes too - so you have to be careful about that.
