Technical details
Silicone Cat Tea Infuser for Loose Leaf
This cat-shaped silicone tea infuser is designed to steep loose leaf tea directly in your mug or teapot. Made from food-grade silicone, it is heat-resistant and flexible enough to open, fill, and close with ease. The strainer sits on the rim of your cup while your tea brews. It is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. Not recommended for very fine-ground teas that may slip through the mesh openings.
The Benefit
Loose Leaf Tea, Finally Worth Smiling At
Let me tell you, there is something quietly delightful about dropping a little silicone cat into your mug every morning. It does not change the tea, mind you, but it changes how you feel about making it. Suddenly your loose leaf ritual has a personality. And believe me, on a slow Tuesday morning, that matters more than you might think.
Product Details
Food-Grade Silicone, Cute Cat Tea Strainer
Made from food-grade silicone, this little cat strainer is heat-resistant, flexible, and completely safe for your brew. It opens up to hold your loose leaf tea, then clips shut to keep everything tidy while it steeps. No metal, no rust, no fuss. The silicone is soft enough to squeeze and sturdy enough to last. Dishwasher-safe too, which, between you and me, is non-negotiable.
In Action
Your Loose Leaf Tea, Steeping in Style
You fill the cat with your favorite loose leaf blend, set it on the rim of your mug, pour your hot water, and let it do its thing. The little tail hangs over the side so you can lift it out without burning your fingers. Hold on now, it is genuinely that simple. No drips on the counter, no fumbling with a chain, just a calm, unhurried cup of tea.
Everyday Use
The Silicone Infuser That Actually Gets Used
Well now, the best tea infuser is the one you actually reach for every day. This one earns its spot on the counter because it is easy to fill, easy to rinse, and easy to love. The silicone does not stain the way metal sometimes does, and cleanup is a quick rinse or a run through the dishwasher. Practical, dear, is the highest compliment I know.

FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Is this tea infuser safe to use with boiling water?
Yes, it is made from food-grade silicone which is heat-resistant, so boiling water is no problem at all. You can steep your loose leaf tea at any temperature you like without worrying about the material.
Will it work with very finely ground teas like rooibos or powdered blends?
Mind you, very fine-ground teas may slip through the openings in the strainer. It works best with standard loose leaf teas. For something as fine as matcha powder, you would want a different tool entirely.
How do I clean the cat tea infuser after use?
It is dishwasher-safe, which makes cleanup genuinely easy. A quick rinse under warm water works just as well for everyday use. The silicone does not hold onto stains the way some materials do, so it stays looking good.
Can I use this infuser in a teapot as well as a mug?
Yes, it is designed to work in both a mug and a teapot. The cat sits on the rim while your tea steeps, and the tail gives you a safe, easy way to lift it out once your brew is ready.
How much loose leaf tea does it hold?
The description does not specify an exact capacity in grams, so I would not want to guess for you. As a general rule for a silicone infuser this size, it holds enough for a standard single mug serving of loose leaf tea.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
Yes, all our products are guaranteed for 1 year against manufacturing defects, on top of the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy: if a product does not suit you, email teatime@luluteapot.com and we will make it right.
