Teatotaller

Loose-leaf tea is a wonderful thing- usually more flavourful and diverse than the bagged varieties. The problem is, when one tries to fit it into that tiny little tea-ball to brew it, the little leaves explode across the kitchen. I propose a mug with a screw-on, detachable bottom, about 1 cm. deep. Have a thin wire mesh at the point where this bottom piece joins the mug, and voila! no more suspicions of a marijuana habit because your Earl Grey scattered about the table.
