Technical details
Silicone Tea Infuser for Loose Leaf
This loose leaf tea infuser is shaped like a little squirrel and made entirely of food-grade silicone, so it's flexible, heat-resistant, and won't crack or stain over time. It's designed to sit right on the rim of your mug while your tea steeps, then lift out cleanly when you're done. Rinse it under the tap or toss it on the top rack of the dishwasher. One squirrel per package.
The Real Difference
Loose Leaf Tea, Finally Without the Fuss
Let me tell you, the moment you stop wrestling with flimsy paper filters and start using a proper loose leaf infuser, your whole morning changes. This little squirrel just perches on your mug, does its job quietly, and lifts out without dripping all over your counter. No mess, no fuss, no reason to reach for a tea bag ever again. Between you and me, that's a very good morning.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered Honestly
What kind of tea can I use with this infuser?
Any loose leaf tea you like, honey. Blacks, greens, herbals, rooibos, you name it. As long as it's loose leaf and not a capsule or a bag, this little squirrel is ready to work. Just fill the basket, set it on your mug, and let it steep.
Will it fit my mug?
It's designed to sit right on the rim of a standard mug, so it works with most everyday cups. Mind you, if you're using a very wide-rimmed bowl or a tiny espresso cup, it may not sit as securely. A regular 10 to 16 oz mug is your sweet spot.
Is the silicone safe for hot water?
Yes, it's made from food-grade silicone, which is heat-resistant and perfectly safe for boiling water. No funny smells, no leaching, no worries. Just good tea, the way it should be.
How do I clean it?
Well now, that's the easy part. Give it a quick rinse under the tap after each use and you're done. If you'd rather let the dishwasher handle it, pop it on the top rack. The silicone won't stain, crack, or hold onto yesterday's Earl Grey.
Is this a good gift for a tea lover?
Hold on now, is it ever. It's charming, it's practical, and it makes loose leaf tea feel a little more fun. Whether your person is just discovering the world beyond tea bags or has a whole cabinet of single-origin leaves, this squirrel will make them smile every single morning.

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.
