Technical details
Stainless Steel Bird Tea Infuser
This loose leaf tea infuser is shaped like a little bird and made from stainless steel. It sits on the rim of your mug, beak down, steeping your tea while its tail acts as a drip tray - no extra dish needed. Designed for a standard mug, it holds enough loose leaf tea for a single cup. Stainless steel means no rust, no staining, and easy rinsing. Not recommended for very fine-cut teas that might slip through the mesh.
The Real Difference
Your Morning Cup Just Got a Little Friend
Hold on now, let me tell you - there is something genuinely cheerful about a tiny bird perched on your mug at seven in the morning. This little stainless steel infuser turns your loose leaf tea ritual into something you actually look forward to. No more sad paper bags, no more fumbling with a clunky strainer. Just a proper brew, a smile, and a warm cup in your hands.
What Makes It Good
A Loose Leaf Infuser Built to Last
Between you and me, I have seen plenty of flimsy tea gadgets come and go. This one is stainless steel through and through - no rust, no staining, no funny taste sneaking into your Earl Grey. The bird perches right on the rim of your mug, beak in the tea, and its tail doubles as a drip tray. Mind you, that little tail is doing real work so your counter stays dry.
Picture This
Steep, Sip, Rinse - Done
You spoon in your loose leaf tea, set the little bird on your mug, pour your hot water, and let it do its thing. When your steep is done, you lift it out by the tail and it rests right there, drip tray and all, neat as you please. A quick rinse under the tap and it is ready for your next cup. Well now, that is what a good tea infuser should do, dear.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
How does this bird tea infuser actually sit on my mug?
It perches right on the rim of your mug, beak-side down into the water, so the loose leaf tea steeps properly. The tail sticks up and out, giving you a safe place to grab it when your tea is ready. No clips, no chains, no fuss.
Do I need a separate drip tray or dish?
Nope, and that is one of the nicest things about this design. The bird's tail acts as a built-in drip tray. Once you lift the infuser out of your mug, you just rest it on its tail and it catches the drips for you. Your counter stays clean.
Will it work with very finely cut loose leaf teas?
Believe me, I would be honest with you here. Very fine-cut teas or dusty blends may slip through the mesh. It works best with standard loose leaf teas that have a bit of body to them. For powdery cuts, you might want a finer filter.
Is it easy to clean after use?
Very much so. Stainless steel does not stain and does not hold onto flavors, so a quick rinse under warm water is usually all it takes. The leaves tap right out, and you are done. No scrubbing, no soaking, no drama.
Will it fit my mug?
It is designed to sit on the rim of a standard mug. Most everyday mugs will work just fine. If you use a very wide or unusually shaped mug, it is worth checking the fit before you commit, just to be sure the bird perches steadily.

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.
