Technical details
Stainless Steel Loose Leaf Tea Infuser
This individual tea infuser is designed for brewing loose leaf tea directly in your cup. Made from stainless steel, it comes with a drip tray to keep your counter clean between steeps. The fine mesh basket catches even the smallest tea leaves, so you get a clean, clear cup every time. It fits most standard mugs and is easy to rinse clean. Intended for single-cup use with loose leaf tea.
The Real Difference
Loose Leaf Tea, No Mess, No Fuss
You know that moment when you finally sit down with a proper cup of tea and everything just feels right? That is exactly what this little infuser is here for. No soggy tea bags, no paper taste, no scrambling for a saucer to rest a dripping strainer on. The drip tray takes care of that. Your counter stays clean, your tea stays good, and your morning stays yours.
Built to Last
Solid Stainless Steel, Fine Mesh Strainer
Well now, let me tell you, stainless steel is the right call here. It does not rust, it does not hold onto yesterday's chamomile, and it will not warp on you after a few weeks. The fine mesh basket is tight enough to catch even the smallest loose leaf particles, so what ends up in your cup is tea, not debris. And the matching drip tray means the whole set works together, neat and tidy.
Picture This
Steep, Lift, Rest, Sip
Spoon your loose leaf tea into the basket, set it right in your mug, and pour your hot water over. Let it steep however long you like, because you are in charge here, not a timer on a machine. When it is ready, lift the infuser out and rest it on the drip tray. No drips on the counter, no hunting for a spare dish. Just a clean cup of tea, made exactly the way you like it.
Everyday Proof
The Infuser That Earns Its Spot
Between you and me, the real test of any tea tool is whether it makes your daily routine easier or just adds another thing to wash. This one earns its keep. The stainless steel rinses clean in seconds, the drip tray keeps things tidy without any extra effort, and the whole setup is simple enough that you will actually use it every single day, morning brew and evening herbal steep alike.
What You Get
Your Loose Leaf Strainer Set, Ready to Use
Open the box and you will find the stainless steel loose leaf tea infuser basket and its matching drip tray, both ready to go. No assembly, no fiddling around. Just rinse them once, load up your favorite loose leaf tea, and you are already on your way to a better cup. Hold on now, that is genuinely all there is to it.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Will this infuser fit my regular coffee mug?
Yes, honey. This stainless steel tea infuser is designed to fit most standard mugs, so chances are very good it will sit right in yours without any trouble. If you use an unusually narrow or wide mug, just double-check the dimensions before ordering.
Does it actually catch fine loose leaf tea, or will I end up with bits in my cup?
The fine mesh basket is tight enough to catch small loose leaf particles, so your cup should come out clean and clear. Mind you, very finely ground teas like some rooibos blends may still sneak a few specks through, but for most loose leaf teas it does the job well.
What is the drip tray for, exactly?
It is the little detail that makes a real difference. Once your tea has steeped, you lift the infuser out and rest it on the drip tray instead of hunting for a saucer or dripping across your counter. Keeps things tidy with zero extra effort on your part.
Is this easy to clean?
Very. Stainless steel does not hold onto flavors or stains the way plastic can, and the mesh basket rinses clean quickly under the tap. No special tools needed. A quick rinse after each use is usually all it takes to keep it in good shape.
Can I use this infuser for herbal teas and blends, not just traditional tea?
Absolutely. This loose leaf strainer works just as well for herbal infusions, chamomile, rooibos, or any blend you brew from whole or cut plant material. It is built for loose leaf in general, not just black or green tea, so your evening herbal brew is very much welcome.

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.
