OK, but where do you draw the line? I also doubt that most people
could tell the difference from a cup of tea brewed with a tea bag vs
the basket give the same amount of the exact same tea.

I think the concept of
"cramping" the tea is a little overwrought.

My main point was that I find the strainer easier to use than the
basket.

So, is it OK with you if I continue to use the strainer even if I
can't tell the difference in the taste? Or even if I just think that
the leaves are less cramped? ;-)
