Will it hold 1 tea bag, along w/ cinnamon stick pieces, cloves, large cardamom pods, & fennel seeds, without the contents leaking out?

If you're using a tea bag, just put the other stuff in the sweet leaf. The water needs to flow through the leaf, so don't pack it full.

It is rather leakproof, but if you were hiking and had this in your backpack I am sure it would open up at some point and begin to spill. I would recommend just using a thermos and a tea infuser instead.

you can use it with small ones. I don't think a big tea bag would fit in it. But I have fit small ones in it before.

The ccffee container is larger. I have both, one for tea and the smaller fir spices

I don't think that would work. There would be no seal around the bag to force the water through the tea. There is a reusable metal filter that could be filled with loose tea.

Yes they will hold 2 tea spoons of dry powder buy I wouldn't try for any more than that in order to give yourself room to seal the bag.

It's definitely made with loose leaf tea in mind but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to put a tea bag in there.

This will hold at least 4 teaspoons of loose tea, with room for expansion. Including loose teas with decent size pieces of dried fruit. I hope this helps.

No holes underneath. Tea bags would fit, but it's shaped to accommodate the Keurig cups. I tried putting a Bigelow single tea packet in there and it crushes the packet down a little. I suppose you could fit loose tea bags in there fine though.

I don't think so. It's a very fine mesh. Even when I get to the end of my bag of loose tea and its all fine it doesn't get thru into my tea. :)

The "downside" would be if you fill the container too much, when you spin/twist the lid to shake out the contents it'll kind of spill out - but I store spices in mine so leaves might be packed loose enoughI would say approx 1/2 to 3/4 a cup loose packed leaves but hard to gauge

You could take one of the little dividers out and put the whole Celestial Seasonings bag into the bigger slots (like they are in the tea boxes when you buy them) but I wouldn't recommend putting the individual bags in here by themselves. The lid closes pretty well but it doesn't have a secure latch to keep it air tight so over time it could cause the tea to lose flavor.

Not fine enough for ground spices, or even thai tea mix.Using paper teabags to infuse spices separately would probably be less messy.

Sorry, this is my very first tea infuser, hence cannot answer your specific question. The tea leaves I was using look somewhat fine to me, and not much 'leaks out'. And not too difficult to clean out later when I've forgotten about it. If that helps.

I tried this afternoon to find out just how "waterproof" the carry case is (the answer is, not very). I added some water to the container, put the lid on, and shook it. While it did not pour out, there was no doubt that this lid is NOT a tight seal. I suppose that a large o-ring or perhaps some RTV could be used to seal it up, or a very large stopper would do the trick, but barring that, I would not carry wet tea in this unless you like tea leaking everywhere.

I would imagine the tea bags could fit in the section with the string part sticking out on top. Hope that helps.

There are two bags connected together in 1 family size tea bag. Hope this helps.
