Technical details
Silicone Tea Infuser with Chain
This silicone tea infuser is designed for loose leaf tea steeping directly in your cup or mug. It comes with a small chain to keep it from slipping in, and a drip tray to rest it on when you're done. Made from food-safe silicone, it's flexible, easy to squeeze open, and simple to rinse clean. Available in 7 colors. Not intended for use in a teapot or with boiling water poured directly over it for extended periods.
The Real Difference
Loose Leaf Tea, Finally Fuss-Free
You love loose leaf tea but you've been putting up with a strainer that drips all over the counter, or a mesh ball that's impossible to open with wet hands. This little silicone infuser with its chain changes that. It sits right in your mug, steeps your tea exactly how you like it, and when it's done, the drip tray catches everything. No mess, no drama, just a proper cup.
What It's Made Of
Soft Silicone, Seven Colors, One Good Infuser
Made from food-safe silicone, this tea infuser is flexible enough to squeeze open easily, even with one hand, and sturdy enough to hold a good amount of loose leaf. The chain keeps it right where you put it, no fishing around in hot water. It comes with a small drip tray so your counter stays dry. And between you and me, seven color options means you can pick one that actually makes you smile in the morning.
Picture This
Your Morning Cup, Start to Finish
You spoon your loose leaf into the infuser, clip the chain over the rim of your mug, pour your hot water, and let it do its thing. When your tea is ready, you lift it out by the chain, set it on the little tray, and sit down. That's it. No paper filters to run out of, no pod to feel guilty about, no strainer to balance over the sink. Just you and a proper cup of tea, the way it should be.
Day In, Day Out
The Silicone Infuser That Earns Its Spot
Hold on now, let me tell you what makes this one actually practical. The silicone doesn't stain, doesn't rust, and doesn't hold onto smells the way metal can. You rinse it, squeeze it a couple of times under the tap, and it's ready for your next cup. The drip tray means you're not hunting for a saucer every time. It's the kind of small thing that quietly makes your tea routine a little better every single day.

FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Will this infuser fit in a standard mug?
It's designed for single-cup steeping, so yes, it sits right inside a regular mug. The chain clips over the rim to hold it in place while your tea steeps. Mind you, very wide or very narrow mugs might be a different story, but for a standard everyday mug you'll be just fine.
Is the silicone safe for hot water?
Yes, it's made from food-safe silicone, which is what you want for anything going near your tea. It's built to handle the heat of a normal cup of hot tea. Just don't leave it sitting in boiling water for a long stretch and you'll have no trouble.
How do I clean it?
This is one of the easy parts, believe me. The silicone is flexible, so you squeeze it open, rinse it under the tap, and any loose leaves fall right out. It doesn't hold onto stains or smells the way metal mesh sometimes does. A quick rinse and it's ready for your next cup.
Can I use it for herbal teas and not just regular tea?
Absolutely. The infuser holds loose leaf of any kind, so your chamomile, your peppermint, your rooibos, all of it works just the same. Load it up, steep, and lift it out by the chain. The drip tray catches whatever drips off, so your counter stays clean.
What colors can I choose from?
You have seven colors to pick from. The listing shows all the options so you can choose the one that suits you, or the one you'd like to give as a gift. A small thing, but honestly, starting your morning with a color you actually like is never a bad idea.

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?
