Tea
In the same way as coffee, a French press can also be used in place of a tea infuser to brew loose tea. The tea will continue to steep even after the plunger is depressed, which may cause the tea remaining in the press to become excessively bitter. This can be solved by pouring the tea into a teapot.

Famous quotes containing the word tea:
“It has been well said that tea is suggestive of a thousand wants, from which spring the decencies and luxuries of civilization.”
—Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)
“When one has tea and wine one will have many friends.”

“There is not enough exercise in this way of life. I try to make up by active gymnastics before I dress when I get up, by walking rapidly in the lower hall and the greenhouse after each meal for perhaps five to ten minutes, and a good hand rubbing before going to bed. I eat moderately; drink one cup of coffee at breakfast and one cup of tea at lunch and no other stimulant. My health is now, and usually, excellent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
