Here is my advice:

  • buy loose leaf and a tea strainer.
  • Do not brew your tea in what you make you cofee as both beverage have a strong taste that affect the pot they are are sitting in with time.

If you brew coffee in a coffee maker, any pot with a top will do. You heat the water to the temperature indicated on the package, turn off the heat, add tea leaves and wait the time given. The leaves will have plenty of room to float and by not making tea in your mug, you make ot much easier to strain the tea leaves out: you pour the tea in a mug on which sit the strainer

You could also buy some tin box to store your leaves - especially if you only fond them in big quantities, and a tea pot to mix flavor as little as possible.
