And now, the details.

This experiment has to do with creativity, and I have it on good authority that it is a blast to participate. You don’t often get participants telling you spontaneously how much fun they had, but I’ve had this happen with maybe half of the people who have come in to the lab. So really, what reason do you have not to participate? None, that’s what. So here’s the list again:

First, a note: The reason I have been less active on the blog over the last few weeks is that I’ve been working steadily and constantly on a new psychology experiment for my Masters. And now I can open it to the Internet! Be prepared for the big reveal tomorrow, with a brand spanking new contest!

And now, for today’s post. If you’d like to make your tea bagging a little greener, try this reusable tea bag at Craft Leftovers for your loose-leaf teas. Isn’t it neat?

For those tea connoisseurs in the audience, you know that scrunching your tea up too much leaves them with little room to fully release all their flavours and oxycontins and hoochimawhatsits and such. A tea ball is nice sometimes, but I find they’re too small and compress the tea leaves too much.

I spent so long trying to find a little metal loose-leaf tea basket for my tea pot, and still to no avail. (I’ve found a few since then, I just don’t drink as much tea anymore.) They’re available with many tea pots, but not really on their own.

This is a great idea for those of us who have lots and lots of loose-leaf tea but can’t find a little basket to put them in. If you want a nice big area in which your tea can float around, make an extra-big tea bag and see how that works!
