I drink a lot of very fine loose leaf tea, are the holes in his pants small enough so I wont have to fish tea leaves from my mug?

No you need to use tea that isn't finely ground. The holes will allow some tea leaves to escape I find that fine ground doesn't work that well.

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.

I use the 1/2 lb Lipton Loose tea, which I don't believe is very finely ground, and his holes leak leaves out everywhere. It's pretty excessive, which is why I'm returning him.

I put loose black tea in there and it stays in without a problem. I assume that same could be expected for rooibos tea. Good luck!

It shouldn't all fall out, but some will, but a little loose tea floating wont affect the taste. Just let it all sink down to the bottom and then you can drink it like normal.

If you are using the bulb tea, you will have to make a full pot. The pots aren't that big anyways. If you use loose tea leaves, then you can make a smaller amount. If want even smaller than don't use that pot.

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.

Absolutely! It keeps the coffee beans and ground coffee fresh so I wouldn't see why it wouldn't with loose leaf tea.

Sorry, this is my very first tea infuser, hence cannot answer your specific question. The tea leaves I was using look somewhat fine to me, and not much 'leaks out'. And not too difficult to clean out later when I've forgotten about it. If that helps.

Yes, i use it with loose tea all the time. The holes are quite small and allow only a very small amount of "tea dust" to settle in the bottom of the cup. It is about the same as using a fine mesh tea ball.

The infuser is much smaller than a cup so I don't see the point of transporting it with the tea. The lid does screw in a little, but I not sure it's leakproof.

Yes, the real fine will fall thru even though the slots are very small. If you try loose leaf tea, you'll be surprised at the great flavor!

I use tea bags with my pot but I would think that you could not just use loose tea with this pot unless you like to read tea leaves. There are several small holes leading to the spout.

Yes, I use mine for loose tea all the time. The holes are quite small, and I have not had any significant problems with dust in my tea.

Yes put loose tea in the metal infuser put the infuser in the tea pot and put boiled water in tea pot. After about two minutes remove the tea leaves or the whole infuser and drink your tea

The packaging says that it would be good for loose leaf tea, but I feel that the slits would be too large and the leaves would fall through. You could always wrap the leaves in cheese cloth and put it in the ball, or I have had success putting some ground spices in a coffee filter and folding it up and putting it in the ball with fruit.

Yes it is, but I suppose it would also depend on the type of tea- green tea leaves tend to expand so probably not. Also it depend on if you like your tea strong- I like mine mild so I normally use about less than a 1/4th of the space for a single cup:)

Yes loose leaf is the preferred type just put it in a muslum bag or something similar so you don't have to strain the tea out of the water, you can also use tea bags if you like a certain brand and this kit comes with loose leaf tea and the muslum bags for brewing

I can use 2 lg bags stuffed in, or about an ounce or two of loose tea. I prefer the bags, bc some loose tea can get through the holes... Pretty gnarly to drink, lol.
