Yeah. A British couple used to run a breakfast/lunch restaurant in our town, and they served tea in pots that came with matching filters for loose tea that looked just like that. They offered 10 or 15 varieties of tea, always loose, and served the best pot of tea in town.
Because they were Brits they were pretty liberal with the tea leaves -- the husband would literally grab a fistful and drop it in the pot -- so you had to drink fast before the tea got too strong, or ask for more hot water when the pot was still half-full!
They turned me on to Irish Breakfast, which I still love.
