Silicone Tea Infuser for Loose Leaf
This squirrel-shaped silicone tea infuser is designed to steep loose leaf tea directly in your mug or cup. Made from food-grade silicone, it sits comfortably on the rim of most standard mugs.

The Real Difference
Loose Leaf Tea, Finally Worth the Fuss
Let me tell you, loose leaf tea is a whole other world compared to those little paper bags. But the mess? That used to be the problem. This little silicone squirrel infuser takes all the fuss right out of it. You get a proper, flavorful cup every single time, and you don't end up with tea leaves floating around like tiny lost boats. That, honey, is a morning upgrade.
What It's Made Of
Food-Grade Silicone, Soft and Sturdy
This loose leaf tea strainer is made from food-grade silicone, which means it's safe, flexible, and built to last through many, many cups of tea. The squirrel shape is charming without being fussy, and the whole thing is dishwasher safe. Mind you, I always give mine a quick rinse by hand out of habit, but knowing the dishwasher is an option? That matters on a busy morning, believe me.
Picture This
Your Mug, Your Squirrel, Your Tea
Here's how it goes: you fill the little squirrel with your favorite loose leaf blend, clip it right onto the rim of your mug, and pour your hot water over. The silicone strainer does its quiet, steady work while you go about your morning. When your tea is just right, you lift it out, set it on a saucer, and that's that. No drama, no mess, no soggy tea bag sitting there looking sorry for itself.

This one sits right on the rim of your cup without tipping, the silicone holds its shape, and cleanup is a quick rinse or a run through the dishwasher. Between you and me, I've tried fancier contraptions that were more trouble than they were worth. This little squirrel just works.

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.
