Technical details
Silicone Tea Infuser, Loose Leaf Ready
This elephant-shaped silicone tea infuser is designed for loose leaf tea and fits most standard mugs and cups. Made from food-grade silicone, it is reusable, BPA-free, and built to handle repeated use without warping or staining. The infuser sits securely on the rim of your mug while your tea steeps. Easy to rinse clean after use. Not intended for use with very fine powdered teas like matcha.
The Real Difference
Loose Leaf Tea, No Fuss, No Waste
You know that moment when you want a proper cup of tea but the whole process feels like too much? Well now, this little elephant takes care of that. Drop in your loose leaves, rest it on your mug, pour your hot water, and you are done. No paper filters to run out of, no plastic pods, no guilt. Just good tea, every single morning, the way it should be.
What It's Made Of
Food-Grade Silicone, Built to Last
This reusable loose leaf strainer is made from food-grade, BPA-free silicone, and believe me, that matters more than people think. Silicone does not absorb odors, does not stain the way plastic does, and holds its shape wash after wash. The elephant design is not just charming, it is practical too. It sits right on the rim of your mug without slipping, keeping your counter clean and your tea steeping properly.
Picture This
Your Morning Mug, Meet Your New Ritual
It is early. The kettle is just starting to whistle. You spoon your favorite loose leaf blend into the little elephant, set it over your mug, and pour. The leaves unfurl slowly, the steam rises, and for a moment everything is wonderfully quiet. Mind you, that is what a good infuser does. It does not just make tea. It gives you a small, reliable moment of calm before the day gets going.
Everyday Proof
Rinses Clean, Sits Pretty, Shows Up Daily
Between you and me, the best kitchen tool is the one you actually reach for. This silicone tea infuser earns its spot because it is genuinely easy to clean, just a quick rinse under the tap and it is ready to go again. No staining, no lingering flavors from yesterday's chamomile sneaking into today's Earl Grey. It is reusable, dependable, and small enough to tuck anywhere. That is the whole point, honey.
What You're Getting
One Elephant Infuser, Ready to Steep
Your order includes one elephant silicone tea infuser, food-grade and reusable, ready to use with your loose leaf tea from day one. No assembly, no extra pieces to track down. Just open the box, give it a quick rinse, and it is yours. It also makes a lovely little gift, let me tell you, the kind that actually gets used rather than sitting in a drawer.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered Honestly
Is this infuser safe to use with hot water and food?
Yes, absolutely. The elephant infuser is made from food-grade, BPA-free silicone, which means it is designed to be in contact with hot liquids and food without releasing anything harmful. It is built for exactly this kind of daily use, so you can steep with confidence.
What kind of tea works best with this infuser?
This infuser is made for loose leaf tea. It works well with standard loose leaf blends, herbal mixes, and larger cut teas. Hold on now, if you are thinking of using it with very fine powders like matcha, this is not the right tool for that. A whisk and bowl will serve you much better there.
Will it fit my mug?
The elephant infuser is designed to rest on the rim of a standard mug or cup. It sits securely on top while your tea steeps, which keeps things tidy and easy. For very wide or unusually shaped mugs, it is worth checking the fit before you rely on it daily.
How do I clean it after use?
A quick rinse under the tap is all it takes. The food-grade silicone does not hold onto stains or absorb flavors, so your chamomile from last night will not haunt your morning green tea. It is reusable and easy to maintain, which is rather the whole point of choosing it.
How many infusers come in the box?
Your order includes one elephant silicone tea infuser. It arrives ready to use, no assembly needed. If you are buying it as a gift or want one for home and one for the office, you would simply order two. Simple as that, dear.

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.
