Anyone recommend an infuser that is very fine. I have some dilmah loose tea that is very dusty. Alternatively suggest another loose tea.

Ive got a tin of dilmah loose tea, why not put it through a sieve, and throw away the dust, I just tried it, at least its useable and you dont throw away that much.

Thank you, maybe I’ll do that.

The director of Twinings tea says that bags are as good as loose tea, Just leave them in for a couple of minutes. He'd know.

I read an article very recently that said tea bags (and I assume coffee bags) are made of plastic, and if you are a squeezer you are getting 1 million plastic micro particles into your cup. Never again will I squeeze a tea bag. In fact it alarmed me so much, I have bought loose tea.

I have a Chanui infuser pot which I use with their loose English breakfast tea or Bell loose Kenya bold which has very fine mesh - not sure if you can still buy them anywhere

If by any chance you have a paper coffee filter, you could line your infuser with that.

I drink Chanui which is the opposite of dusty - the "leaves" look like small peppercorns!

They do but when they expand you can definitely see they are quite large leaf particles
