I want to purchase a tea kettle or pot for a tea novice. They like the clay ones, and want to make tea with an infuser from leaves not the bag kind. Can someone please tell me what I need to buy to get them started. As I am sure you can tell from this post my tea knowledge is limited to ordering it at a boba place. Also can you reccomend a good place online to purchase you reccomendation. THANK YOU!!!

Buying teapots online is expensive...why pay for shipping? They are extremely cheap at a chinese restraunt wholesaler. Many cities have them. I'm not talking cheap ones either, but nice sets.
All you do it put the tea leaves in the pot and soak in room temp water for a minute or so to let the leaves open up.Then pour hot water over them and let steep for around 20-30 seconds. After you pour your tea, remove the excess water. Repeat 5-6 times before cahnging your tea leaves.
