I dump out the wet tea leaves and give the strainer a rinse right away.
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.
