"Loose leaf in steel, because a lot of tea bags have plastic in them."
Why I like it:
This is the one that surprised me. A lot of tea bags are sealed with plastic, and some of the fancy pyramid ones are basically plastic mesh, and you're steeping that in boiling water. Loose leaf in a stainless ball skips the whole question. You squeeze the handle, it opens, you scoop your tea in and drop it in your mug. The mesh is fine enough that nothing floats out into your cup. It comes as a two pack, so there's a clean one ready when the other one's in the sink.
