The sock is disposable so you dont have to do anything special with the leaf. My local tea shoppe taught me that. The tea ball is the next best option because the chain can be held in place by the lid but will eventually chip hard surfaces like clay and porcelain. Jim PS If you have to twist the lid, the ...

...you cap to hold the filter in place. Notice the filter just below the spout. I did this for tea presses from 100mL to 1L which you can find dirt cheap in discount stores.
