Have you ever heard of Shennong? This Chinese man who lived about 5000 years ago is credited with writing down the medicinal benefits of teas. Even when tea arrived in Britain in the early 17th century, it was considered a medicinal drink. It was 6 to 10 times more expensive than coffee and more popular than chocolate or alcohol. Thankfully these recommended tea infusers won’t be that pricey.
Professional grade
The screw-top closure and included matching saucer make this House Again infuser a great choice. It has an extra-long chain making it easy to remove from cups, mugs, and teapots. Crafted by a professional tea infuser company, this double package of tea infusers is made of food-grade stainless steel. We love the screw-top design that keeps loose leaf tea tucked in tightly. This design seems to seal better than twist-top or snap top closures. These infusers are dishwasher safe, too.
Classic design
This traditional tea ball has hundreds of years of experience brewing tea. From deep black teas to green, red, yellow, and white varieties, these two infusers snap closed for brewing ease. Replace your tea bags with some loose-leaf blends for a better brew. You can also brew some iced tea or sun tea by using both tea infusers in your glass pitcher. These are made from 304-grade stainless steel for lasting durability. While this isn’t suitable for small size loose leaf tea, it’s great for floral and blooming teas.
Great durability
OXO products are well-engineered and of high quality and durability. This tea infuser is no exception. We love how the double duty lid keeps heat in your cup and also acts as a drip tray. The stainless steel design is etched with fine holes to keep any little tea leaf bits inside the large infuser. Crafted for getting the maximum in flavors and aromas, this tea infuser basket is great for brewing all types of tea and herb blends.
Double dino duty
Distinct – not extinct – these are the cutest couple of tea infusers since the Paleolithic. One green and one turquoise blue silicone dinosaur make tea time double the fun. Just open your lake monster or brontosaurus up, put the tea in the bottom, push to secure the top, and use the long neck to hold the tea leaves in your deep mug. Or watch him stand in the bottom of your teacup. Suited for medium and large-leaf tea blends, these silicone dinosaurs are dishwasher safe.
Two handles better than one
The extra-large design makes brewing fruit teas and specialty teas – even fine-leaved teas like green and Rooibos – a breeze. The spacious size means the tea leaves can quickly diffuse in your jumbo mug or teapot. Won’t fall in and won’t float, we love how the three inch tall tea infuser makes brewing a pot of tea fast and efficient. Let the Yoassi mesh tea infuser rest on top of your pot to impart all your tea’s flavors. The jumbo size also makes it easy to rinse and clean. The tight-fitting lid keeps the nuances in your brew.
