DAE find it annoying to clean strainer baskets? (midwest.social)

Also admire my cute travel gaiwan set I bought for no good reason.....unless...

It's established that strainer > tea bag, but jeebus, I hate having to scrub out stuck dried leaf bits the next morning. Could I just dump the wet leaves out before they stick? Bruh, do you know how much easier my life would be if I didn't forget so much lil shit the moment I take my eyes off it?

But maybe it's an excellent post hoc excuse for my unnecessary gaiwan purchase. It's so much easier to clean a gaiwan, even with a lip for the strainer lid, than to get all the little bits unstuck from the strainer holes.

Switch to matcha. No strainer needed, and there’s nothing to throw in the compost. Problem solved!

Although, I gotta say, I still enjoy a variety of different teas, like white, green and puerh. Definitely still need a gaiwan for that, and a strainer doesn’t hurt either.
