Original post seems to have disappeared with the outage.
Picked up a few different teas and yerba mate, and it's all pretty good. They also sell cups of whatever in the shop so you can try before buying. Seems like a good intro to loose leaf tea.
Their "Perfect Teamaker," absolutely rules. I've had annoying experiences with a couple alleged high end infusers, and cleaning, particularly at the office, is a pain. OTOH, this:

Has a super-fine mesh at the bottom, and is water tight when it's not sitting on a teacup. That meas a) you get less debris in your tea and b) you can easily get all the leaves out by filling it with water and dumping it out. Big fan.
