Decanting Tea Leaves

Your page about brewing green tea is very interesting ! I was wondering how to decant tea leaves from a glass (which has no lid) to a gaiwan when the type of tea used doesn't sink to the bottom easily even after 10 minutes. Thank you !

Answer:

That probably means you you haven't waited long enough - most tea leaves will eventually sink to the bottom.

Personally I use a lid that comes with my gaiwan to manually filter the tea leaves - not perfect but simple and it works.
