Leaf Tea?

[purpleheather.livejournal.com]

Would anyone be interested in a LEAF group order? There's free shipping on orders over £50, and as it's UK there's no risk of customs charges.

I know, you can't put it in the bath, or on your body, but it is scrummy anyway!

That's spooky! I was looking at that site just yesterday.

I'd definitely be interested in a group order, if only to get one of the taster tin sets.

How did you find out about it? I was mooching through some random blog a while ago, and placed a group order with people on my F-list then, but I thought I'd open it up to the lovely denizens of PW.

Last time I ordered an infusions tin, some Linden Infusion and a pack of the 1 cup stick infusers. The infusions are lovely; they really do have flavour, unlike all the flavoured teas you can buy in the supermarket, and the pictures are very accurate; the camomile infusion really is camomile flower heads!

I think if there is interest then I'll open it up after the BPAL update has gone, and then keep it open for a few weeks.

I've only recently gotten into leaf tea, so I was searching for a tea ball/infuser suitable for making a mug rather than a pot. One of my searches turned up the leaf site. I didn't order from them in the end, but some of their teas and infusions took my fancy.

Actually, seeing as you've ordered the sample tins before, could you answer a question for me, please? How big are the tins? I was hoping they'd be big enough to store bpal imps in once I've finished the tea ;)

Aah - cool! I have some of the one cup infusers, and they are fine for all but the leafiest infusions; the linden one is literally big leaves, so I find I need to crush them a bit to get them into the filter. I've now got a filter mug (http://www.whittard.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=121939&cid=t6032&language=en-GB) - mine is circus stripes, and that is good, because the filter basket is basically the size of the mug, so the infusions fit really well into them.

With regard to using the tins to store imps, it is certainly doable. The tins each fit 3 imps, with plenty of wiggle room. Bearing in mind that they are metal, it might be worth lining them with something like felt to protect the imps.
