Abalone ShellBeautiful and natural, this is the container used traditionally to burn herbs for ceremony. Since the shells vary in thickness, some may be more fire-safe than others. Be careful to hold the shell from the side and place it on something that won't be affected by the potential heat.
Brew Basket The Brew Basket permanent tea filter is a must-have item for loose tea drinkers. It often sells out at fairs and other sales events. The basket fits nicely into a cup or teapot and is much larger than a teaball, allowing the herbs to expand for maximum extraction of wonderful flavors and medicinal constituents. The lid prevents the escape of aromatic oils that are released through heat. When done brewing, the lid becomes a drain on which you can rest the basket, which is easily emptied into garbage or compost, and rinsed or dishwashed. I own several Iíve used for over ten years. |
