Just a cup that actually tastes like something. That, sweetheart, changes your whole morning.
Built to Last
Solid Stainless Steel, Clever Rocket Shape
Made from food-safe stainless steel mesh, this tea ball infuser holds its shape wash after wash. The fine mesh is tight enough to catch even the smallest loose leaf particles, so you get a clean cup every time. And the rocket design, well, it just makes it easier to handle, easier to open, and honestly a little more fun to pull out of your mug. Mind you, that matters.

You fill the mesh ball with your favorite loose leaf tea, clip it shut, and drop it right into your mug or teapot. While it steeps, you do whatever you like.

FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Will this work with very fine loose leaf teas, like rooibos or green tea dust?
The stainless steel mesh is fine enough to hold most loose leaf teas during steeping, including smaller cuts. For very powdery blends, a little may slip through, but for standard loose leaf teas it does the job cleanly and reliably.
Does it fit inside a regular mug or only a teapot?
The Rocket Tea Infuser is designed to fit standard mugs as well as teapots, so it works with whatever you're already using. No need to buy a special cup or pot. Just drop it in and steep.
How do I clean it after use?
A quick rinse under running water after each use is all it needs. The stainless steel mesh doesn't hold on to flavors or stains the way plastic does, so your chamomile won't haunt your next cup of Earl Grey.
Will it rust over time?
It's made from stainless steel, which is built to resist rust and corrosion with regular use and rinsing. As long as you're not leaving it soaking for days on end, it should hold up well over time.
Is the rocket shape just decorative, or does it actually help with using it?
Hold on now, it's both. The rocket design gives you a practical tail to grip when pulling the infuser out of a hot mug, which is genuinely useful. And yes, it looks a little charming sitting on your counter. That part is just a bonus.

With over 60 years of experience in the world of tea, we are happy to share our expertise with you.

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.
