I'm still trying to find the right amount of powder, so that it's not all swirling at the bottom of the cup. I probably need to stir it in more, too.

It's pretty quick and easy but still, for the little extra effort I may be inclined to stick with a regular loose leaf, in future.

There isn't a pot at work (and taking my own might just be weird). Has anyone tried steeping in a covered cup? It can't be dissimilar to using a gaiwan, surely, though how likely is it that my tea would end up all over the work surface instead of in my drinking cup?

Have you seen anything like the below photo'? It's a cup that has a strainer that just lifts out. make your tea like you would in a pot, remove the strainer, I just put it in the sink to drain a little as I enjoy my tea, before knocking the used leaves into the bin, giving it a rinse along with the cup and you're done.
