Technical details
Stainless Steel Tea Infuser for Loose Leaf
This large stainless steel tea infuser is designed to brew loose leaf tea directly in your mug or teapot. Made from food-grade stainless steel mesh, it holds a generous amount of loose leaf tea for a full, flavorful steep. The fine mesh catches even small tea particles, so you get a clean cup every time. Dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. Fits most standard mugs and teapots. Not intended for use with tea bags.
The Real Difference
Loose Leaf Tea, Finally Done Right
Let me tell you, once you switch to loose leaf tea with a proper infuser, there is no going back. The flavors open up, the aroma fills the room, and your morning cup becomes something you actually look forward to. This large stainless steel tea strainer gives your leaves the room they need to unfurl and do their thing. Your mug, your teapot, your moment.
Built to Last
Fine Mesh, Solid Steel, Zero Fuss
This infuser is made from food-grade stainless steel, so no rust, no funny taste, no worrying about what is leaching into your cup. The fine mesh is tight enough to catch even the smallest tea particles, which means a clean, clear brew every single time. Mind you, it is sized generously on purpose, because cramped leaves make a sad cup. Works in mugs and teapots alike.
Picture This
Scoop, Steep, Sip, Repeat
You spoon your loose leaf tea into the infuser, set it right in your favorite mug, pour the hot water over it, and let it steep. That is really all there is to it, honey. No paper filters to hunt down, no little bags to fiddle with. When your tea is ready, you lift the infuser out, set it on its lid or a saucer, and you are done. Simple as Sunday morning.
Everyday Proof
Morning Brew, Evening Herbal, Every Day
Between you and me, the real test of any tea strainer is whether you actually reach for it every single day. This one earns its spot on the counter. It handles your morning black tea just as well as your evening chamomile or peppermint blend. The large size means you are not packing leaves in tight, and cleanup is quick, either by hand or straight in the dishwasher. No excuses not to brew properly.
What You Get
Everything You Need, Nothing Extra
Well now, no surprises here, which is exactly how it should be. You receive the large stainless steel tea infuser with its fine mesh basket, ready to use from day one. It fits standard mugs and teapots, so no measuring or guessing before you order. Pop it in the dishwasher when you are done and it comes out looking just as good. Straightforward, honest, and built to be used.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered Honestly
Will this infuser fit my regular mug?
Yes, dear. This infuser is designed to fit standard mugs as well as teapots, so it should settle right in without any trouble. It is sized on the larger side on purpose, to give your loose leaf tea plenty of room to steep properly.
Can I use it in a teapot, not just a mug?
Absolutely. This tea strainer is made to work in both mugs and teapots. Whether you are brewing a single cup or a full pot for the table, it handles both without complaint. That is the whole point of going large.
Will fine tea particles get through the mesh?
Hold on now, that is a fair concern. The mesh on this infuser is fine enough to catch small tea particles, so you should get a clean, clear cup rather than a muddy one. It is one of the reasons the stainless steel mesh matters more than you might think.
Is it easy to clean?
Very. This infuser is dishwasher safe, so you can toss it in after use and forget about it. If you prefer a quick rinse by hand, that works just as well. Stainless steel does not hold onto stains or odors the way some other materials do.
Can I use it with tea bags instead of loose leaf?
Believe me, this infuser is built for loose leaf tea and that is where it shines. It is not intended for use with tea bags. If you have been curious about making the switch to loose leaf, well now, this is a fine place to start.

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.
