Technical details
Dinosaur Loose Leaf Tea Infuser
This dinosaur-shaped tea infuser is made from food-grade silicone, designed to hold loose leaf tea directly in your mug or cup. The figure sits on the rim of your cup while the tail or body submerges in hot water, steeping your tea without a separate stand. Flexible, heat-resistant silicone makes it easy to squeeze open, fill, and rinse clean. Hand washing is recommended to keep the shape and color looking their best.
The Real Difference
Your Morning Tea Just Got a Personality
Let me tell you, there is nothing wrong with a plain metal strainer, but there is also nothing right about dreading the kettle. This little dinosaur sitting on the edge of your mug changes the whole mood of the ritual. Suddenly steeping loose leaf tea feels like something you actually look forward to, not just a step you rush through before the day swallows you whole.
What It's Made Of
Soft Silicone, Solid Loose Leaf Strainer
Food-grade silicone, mind you, not some flimsy plastic that warps the second it meets boiling water. The material is flexible enough that you can squeeze the dinosaur open to load your loose leaf tea, then let it close snugly so nothing escapes into your cup. Heat-resistant, easy to rinse, and it holds its shape wash after wash. Between you and me, that matters more than any fancy finish.
Picture This
Dinosaur Perched, Kettle Poured, Tea Steeping
You spoon your loose leaf into the belly of the dinosaur, set it on the rim of your favorite mug so the tail dips right into the hot water, and pour your kettle over slowly. The dinosaur just sits there, perfectly balanced, doing its quiet work while you do yours. When the steep is done, lift it out, give it a rinse under the tap, and that is genuinely all there is to it, honey.
Everyday Proof
Rinses Clean, Holds Up, Shows Up Daily
Well now, the real test of any tea strainer is whether you actually reach for it every morning or leave it in the back of the drawer after a week. The silicone body squeezes open without a fight, the leaves stay where they belong, and cleanup is a quick rinse, no scrubbing, no staining drama. It earns its spot next to the kettle, and believe me, that is not a compliment I hand out lightly.
What You're Getting
One Dinosaur Tea Infuser, Ready to Steep
Hold on now, before you order, here is exactly what arrives: one silicone dinosaur tea infuser for loose leaf tea. That is your complete set. No extra accessories, no separate stand needed since the design rests on your mug rim on its own. It is ready to use straight out of the box, which is honestly how it should be. Simple, direct, no fuss.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Will this dinosaur infuser work with my regular mugs?
Yes, dear. The dinosaur is designed to sit on the rim of a standard mug or cup, with the body submerging into the water below. As long as your mug has a normal rim width, you should be just fine.
Is the silicone safe to use with boiling water?
It is food-grade silicone, which is heat-resistant and made for exactly this kind of use. You can pour your boiling water right over it without worry. That is the whole point of choosing silicone over plastic for a tea infuser.
How do I fill it with loose leaf tea?
You simply squeeze the silicone body open, spoon your loose leaf tea inside, and let it close back up. The flexible material makes this easy to do without spilling, and it seals well enough to keep the leaves from escaping into your cup while steeping.
How do I clean it after use?
Hand washing is recommended to keep the shape and color in good condition. A quick rinse under the tap after each use is usually enough. The silicone does not hold onto stains the way some materials do, which makes the whole thing much less of a chore.
How many infusers come in the package?
You receive one dinosaur silicone tea infuser. If you are thinking of it as a gift alongside a tin of loose leaf tea, one is plenty. If you want one for home and one for the office, you would want to order two.

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.
