How in the world do you prepare tea without bags?

Obviously the wu-yi/oolong/wu-long teas are too good to be true. As far as 'slimming' goes, I wouldn't be willing to try it, but so many people claim it's the most decadent tea they've ever tasted. I'm a person who likes to indulge in tea and I'd love to try it, but . . . How do you prepare it if it has no bags? I've looked up bodums on Amazon, but they all have their fair share of faultiness. Is there another way or a great and upstanding brand that manufactures bodums? Otherwise, I'm clueless. Thanks.

    In the coffee maker just like you use coffee grounds.. Wash the filter good so it won't taste like coffee..however it will not have the best flavor or strength as boiling......

    But I just bring the leaves to a boil in water in a small pot. Remove from heat and cover with a saucer or lid to let cool. This makes a concentrated strength tea. When it is cool, pour through a sieve or filter. Then dilute in water to make ice tea, a gallon etc... For a single cup do the same except in smaller amounts. You will have to experiment on the amount.. The box should give you a good indication of how much, then each time adjust it till you find your own taste.....
