OK help me to understand he from what I see of the one on E-bay the
leaves go in the water loose, and there is only a screen to screen out the
leaves from the tea when you pour the tea out of the thermos. So if you are,
say, wanting to steep tea and take the thermos with you (without
oversteepiung the leaves badly), you'd have to steep in the thermos, decant,
clean the leaves out of the thermos and then put the tea liquor back into
the thermos to take with, is that right? Instead of, say, having a filter
basket where you steep, remove the basker, put the top on and everything is
ready to go (were there such a thing). Or what I find even easier, brewing
in my regular Bodum at home and putting the finished tea liquor into a
regular thermos.

Am I understanding correctly? :?
