Green Tea Inquiery

ok, i opened a new box of green tea and my first words were

oh fuckle ... this shit isn't in bags ... nice

so now i have a cup of hot water and shredded tea leaves floating in it sitting on my desk. i'v never drank tea like this, much less prepared it like that. So i'm wondering if any one knows better then id what to do with it. I just put some leaves in the bottom of my cup and filled it with hot water and am waiting for the leaves to sink before i start drinking. Any one got any tips for what else i should do incase i missed something?

lol, i can't blame my mother ... the only english writing on the box is the "imported by" sticker and some gold letters on the front that say green tea. Well looks like i'll ahve lots of fun with trial and error, i have a feelign this stuff is much stronger then the bagged stuff i had before ... at least it made my eyes water and my nose sting when i smelled it.

Use a miniature strainer type thingy and let the leaves soak in the water first, then take 'em out.

You can get it in bags, at least I always can. Might depend on where you are and whats available.

well the last box if tea i ahd was in bags. But well the teas done now ... boy was it ever strong ... and boy was it ever good ... the only thing i didn't like was how every other zip i had to pull sticks out of my mouth. But yea, i do have one of those teaballs ... but up untill now i never knew what it was for ... well now i know .. but i don't think i'll use it ... only thing is that i;m not going to drink the last mouth full next time the bottom of the cup is full of tea leaves ... i like strong green tea, but god that last mouth full hurt on it's way down ... i think i'll use less tea leaves next time though.
