I was very disappointed when I received this only to learn that the tea steeps in a plastic capsule located inside of the stainless top. I also didn’t understand why there is no lid for the glass carafe if you want to store in the fridge. Not worth the money.
I recently purchased the Jay Iced Tea maker and liked it very much. The inside filter/mesh is rather fine and am able to place any type of loose leaf tea. The Lemon Lavender tea is soft and quite accented, especially if added with honey.
