Technical details
Stainless Steel Tea Infuser, Shell Shape
This tea infuser is shaped like a little clamshell and made from stainless steel, so it holds up to daily use without rusting or picking up flavors. It sits right in your cup while your tea steeps, then lifts out cleanly. Designed for loose leaf tea in a standard mug or teacup. Hand washing is recommended to keep it in good shape. Everything you need comes in the box, ready to use.
The Real Difference
Loose Leaf Tea, Finally Simple
Let me tell you, once you switch to loose leaf with a proper stainless steel infuser, there is no going back to those sad little bags. This shell infuser sits in your cup, does its job quietly, and lifts out without drama. No mess, no fuss, no paper taste sneaking into your Earl Grey. Just your tea, the way it was meant to taste, every single morning.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Will this infuser rust or pick up old tea flavors over time?
Nope, and that is exactly the point, honey. Stainless steel does not rust and does not hold onto yesterday's chamomile. Give it a good hand wash after each use and it stays fresh and neutral, ready for whatever tea you feel like brewing next.
Does it fit in a regular mug?
It does. The shell infuser is designed to sit right inside a standard mug or teacup, so no special equipment needed. If you have an unusually narrow cup, hold on now, just check the opening before you order, but for most everyday mugs you will be just fine.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
Hand washing is what is recommended here, and between you and me, it only takes ten seconds under the tap. Dishwashers can be rough on small infusers over time, so a gentle rinse by hand is the way to go if you want it to last.
Is it good for all types of loose leaf tea?
Yes, this stainless steel infuser works for loose leaf teas across the board, whether you are steeping a bold Assam in the morning or a delicate white tea in the afternoon. Mind you, very finely ground teas like some rooibos blends may slip through the mesh, so keep that in mind.
What comes in the box?
The shell tea infuser itself, ready to use. No complicated assembly, no extra parts to lose. Just rinse it once before your first brew, drop in your loose leaf tea, and you are good to go. Simple as that, dear.

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.
