Q: How does it open and close?
A: Squeeze the handle to open the heart, drop in your leaves, then release to close. Lift it out by the handle when your tea is ready.

Q: How much tea should I use?
A: Fill the heart about two-thirds full so the leaves can expand - usually 1-2 teaspoons depending on the tea and your taste.

Q: What teas work best?
