    no teabags needed

    This is NZ "Tea Tree" , Manuka . A very dense , stable, hardwood .
    It will stand up to the heat and steam .


    Your Aussie TeaTree may be a different story tho

    Default Bamboo

    I wonder how Bamboo would work. I notice that Asian restaurants use it to steam food. Perhaps you could get you hands on a few pieces of bamboo flooring samples to experiment with.

    Bit of Huon should be fine. Very water resistant. Just leave it for a while to lose its vanilla aroma.

    One of my w/t teachers turned mug lids to keep the chips out. Don't think he fussed too much about the timber. Course with a mustache I carry an inbuilt chip filter ;-}
