Okay, I am also new here. I have been a coffee drinker all my life and
have only started tea since about two months ago. This may seem strange
to some of you, but I really didn't have a clue as to even how to make
a cup of tea two months ago. I have a lot to learn. I got in to green
tea for the health benefits and have pretty much given up on coffee. I
am hoping that by hanging out here for a while I can learn more.

Since I started I have been drinking strictly grocery market quality
tea in bags. But, I wanted to get a better experience, so I have been
searching for a tea infuser method. I have just received and am
drinking my first cup of tea made with the IngenuiTea** method. I found
it was pretty easy. I ordered the loose leaf green tea sampler.

I used the microwave method - the IngenuiTea goes in the microwave -
then I spoon the tea in afterwards. Does anyone have any tips for
getting the temperature right for green tea? Is it better to guess the
temperature before it boils, or let it boil and wait about 30 seconds?

What is the opinion here of the IngenuiTea?

Any comments on finding quality loose leaf tea (especially green tea)
in local brick and mortar stores?
