Brewing tea leaves with a French press?

 Hi everyone!

I was wondering whether anyone here brews tea using a French press. If you have any opinions or recommendations on this method of brewing, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I have a tea press from Bodum, mine came complete with a steel teapot warmer. I don't like how it looks, because I'm not fond of glass teapots, but it's a good pot.

i use one sometimes, but after brewing, i transfer the tea to a teapot. it keeps it warmer and stops the brewing process

I do :) Love love LOVE it. I use a Bodum french press, no issues with it. The tea seems to stain the metal mesh, so be sure to rinse it out afterwards and don't leave it sitting overnight. If you do, just soak it in vinegar and water for a day.

I'm loving the great reviews! Thanks! Now, to decide which Bodum French press to buy!
