Sloth Silicone Loose Leaf Tea Infuser
This sloth-shaped tea infuser is made from food-grade silicone, designed to hold loose leaf tea directly in your mug or cup. The sloth figure hangs over the rim of the cup while the tea basket sits submerged in hot water. It is reusable, easy to rinse clean, and built for everyday use with standard mugs. Not recommended for very fine-cut teas that may slip through the basket openings. A practical and charming alternative to disposable tea bags.

Loose Leaf Tea, Finally Fun Again
Let me tell you, brewing loose leaf tea does not have to feel like a chore. This little sloth hangs right over the edge of your mug, holds your tea, does its job quietly, and makes you smile every single morning. Between you and me, that matters more than people admit. It is the kind of small thing that turns your tea ritual from routine into something you actually look forward to.
Product Details
Soft Silicone, Solid Sloth Tea Strainer
Made from food-grade silicone, this infuser is safe, flexible, and built to last. The sloth design is not just cute, mind you, it is functional: the figure grips the rim of your cup so the strainer basket stays submerged at the right depth while your loose leaf tea steeps. No clips, no chains, no fuss. Reusable and easy to rinse, it is a straightforward upgrade from paper tea bags or fiddly metal infusers.
In Action
Your Mug, Your Sloth, Your Morning Brew
Picture this, honey: kettle just boiled, your favorite mug is warm in your hands. You spoon in your loose leaf tea, tuck the basket into the water, and let the little sloth hang over the rim like he owns the place. He steeps your tea while you stand there for a moment, just breathing. When it is ready, you lift him out, give him a quick rinse, and that is it. Simple, cheerful, done.
Everyday Use
The Loose Leaf Infuser That Actually Stays Put
Well now, a tea infuser that slides into your cup and sinks to the bottom is no infuser at all, believe me. This sloth holds on. The silicone figure grips the rim so your strainer sits right where it should, every time. Reusable and quick to clean, it fits into a daily routine without adding any extra steps. Practical, reliable, and a good deal more charming than a plain metal ball on a chain.

FAQ
Your Questions About the Sloth Tea Infuser
What kind of tea works best with this infuser?
This silicone strainer is made for loose leaf tea. It works well with medium to large-cut leaves. Very fine-cut teas or powders like matcha may slip through the basket openings, so those are better brewed another way, dear.
Will it fit my mug?
The sloth is designed to hang over the rim of a standard mug or cup. It should fit most everyday mugs without any trouble. If you use an unusually narrow or thick-rimmed cup, it is worth checking before you brew.
Is the silicone safe for hot water?
Yes. The infuser is made from food-grade silicone, which is safe for use with hot water. It is the same kind of material used in kitchen tools and bakeware, so you can steep your tea with confidence.
How do I clean it?
A quick rinse after each use is all it takes. The silicone does not hold on to residue the way some metal infusers do. It is reusable and easy to maintain, which is exactly how a good tea tool should be, if you ask me.
Does it come as a gift-ready item?
You receive one sloth silicone tea infuser. It makes a charming, practical gift for any loose leaf tea lover. Whether you wrap it yourself or tuck it into a tea gift set, it is the kind of thing that gets a genuine smile.

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.
