Tea strainer...I thought they were nipple and ball clamps ?Of course, places selling loose leaf tea would also have them...maybe Bon Cafe in Naklua and there used to be a tea stand in Big C north Pattaya.

Seems that Beachproperty didn't consider that pathetic, since he kindly replied to my question. As for my reply to OMGinpattaya, I only informed that I haven't seen them in the shops he mentioned, since I don't shop there. Nothing to do with refusing his advice, but hey if you want an argument you can have one. Now since you are active in the Chiangmai and Bangkok forum, I wonder what you wanted to add to a thread that has as topic locating an item in Pattaya. Let me guess, was it just that chip playing up again? Anything else you wanted to add? I found my tea strainer, the second picture in the OP, at foodland for 67 Baht. Next door a smaller one was 177 Baht. Thanks for the suggestions. This thread can be closed now. Edited May 15, 2015 by Anthony5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony5 Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Buy teabags. 100 gram Japanese green tea Ban Cha is 109 Baht at foodland. A teabag is normally 2 gram, and for 100 Baht you will find a box of 10 at best, so that would mean 500 Baht for 100 gram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitawatWatawit Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 What is it with tea drinkers? First the Boston Tea Party, and now the Great Pattaya Tea Ball Hostilities of 2015. Keep going. This is fun. Up next: Savagery, severed limbs and cannibalism in the Little Pinky vs No Pinky debate. The balls can be bought in Central Festival, top floor. Next to the Muay Thai gloves and the bandages. No, I jest. No gloves on that floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to factor in the extra labour costs involved by not using teabags & the time and money spent washing the strainer. Could be a clincher; unless you don't put much value on your own time. And don't forget, you can re-use teabags. My girlfriend makes my tea for me & she's priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony5 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 In the mean time I have discovered that the strainer actually was waisted money, since it doesn't suit for my purpose. I make 1.5 liter of green tea at the time, and make 2 brews so a total of 3 liter, but with the strainer the leafs can't expand to their full capacity. So I drop them now in the 1.5 liter pot and pour hot water on it.When ready I pour the tea through a strainer in the bottle and store it in the fridge . After easy to remove the leafs from the pot. I saw a large tea strainer that could have been suitable for my purpose at the shop next to foodland, but they wanted something like 900 Baht for it, so I passed on that one.

(I'm not a real tea aficionado, BTW, but I have some friends...) Their claim is that the bagged tea is stale, overprocessed, made from the stems and seeds of the tea leaves, and overwhelmed by the taste of the paper from the bag. I have to admit, some of the tea they've poured for me is superior, but they also buy premium tea leaves at a premium price. Personally, I like tea the way they serve it in China, with the tea leaves floating in the teacup. It's an acquired taste, though- and takes a little time to get used to chewing on the leaves. The other option for tea aficionados is to buy a French coffee press- available all over town. Edited May 16, 2015 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
