Why Choose a Stainless Steel Tea Infuser?

If you're tired of tea bags that tear or leave a weak brew, a stainless steel infuser lets you use your favorite loose leaf tea. The fine mesh keeps the leaves contained, so you get a full-flavored cup without bits in your mouth. Stainless steel is durable, doesn't absorb flavors, and is simple to rinse or toss in the dishwasher.

How to Pick the Right Infuser for Your Mug

Think about the size of your mug or teapot. A ball infuser is great for a single cup, while a tube infuser reaches deeper into a tall mug. If you brew for a crowd, a teapot infuser with a strainer is handy. And if you like a little whimsy, our incense burner design doubles as a tea infuser and a holder for your favorite incense.

Caring for Your Stainless Steel Infuser

After your tea is done, just empty the leaves and rinse the infuser under warm water. For a deeper clean, pop it in the dishwasher or soak it in a mix of baking soda and water to remove any stains. Dry it well to keep it looking shiny. With proper care, your infuser will serve you for many a cozy cup.

Frequently asked questions

Will these infusers fit in my favorite mug?

Most of our infusers are designed to fit standard mugs. The ball infusers are about 2 inches across, and the tube infusers are about 6 inches long, so they reach into tall mugs. If you have a very wide or shallow mug, the ball might float, but it still works.

How do I clean a stainless steel infuser?

The easiest way is to rinse it right after use and let it dry. For a deeper clean, you can put it in the dishwasher (top rack) or soak it in a mixture of warm water and a little dish soap. Avoid using harsh scrubbers that might scratch the metal.

Can I use these infusers for other types of tea, like herbal or fruit?

Yes, you can use them for any loose leaf tea, including herbal blends, fruit pieces, and even coffee grounds if you like. Just make sure the pieces are not too fine, as they might slip through the mesh. For very fine powders, a paper filter might be better.

Are these infusers safe to use in a teapot?

Absolutely. Our teapot infuser with strainer is perfect for brewing a pot of tea. The ball and tube infusers can also be used in a teapot, but they might not reach the bottom if the pot is wide. Just place them in the pot before adding hot water.

Will the stainless steel affect the taste of my tea?

No, stainless steel is neutral and won't add any flavors to your tea. Unlike some plastics or low-quality metals, it won't leach anything into your brew. That's why we chose it for our infusers.
