I have developed quite a liking for these. Just brewed up a couple Pu Erh Special Grade Mini Tuo Chas from Upton, which appear to be exactly the same as the ones I was getting at the local co-op (for about the same price). Anyway, these come wrapped in kind of a tissue paper. Do you leave this on or take it off? The first cup I ever brewed, I just plopped them in the cup and ended up with a mess (I don't have anything in the office to strain out loose leaves). Then I started putting the wrapped balls in a tea bag. Then Unwrapped balls in a teabag. i can't tell much difference, but is there a preffered way?
