Technical details
Stainless Steel Loose Leaf Tea Infuser
This tea infuser is made from stainless steel and designed to brew loose leaf tea directly in your cup or mug. It features a hook that rests on the rim of your cup to keep it in place while steeping. The fine mesh basket catches even the smallest tea particles, so your cup stays clean. Suitable for loose leaf teas and herbal blends. Rinse clean after each use. Not intended for use in a teapot.
The Real Difference
Loose Leaf Tea, No Fuss, No Mess
You know that moment when you finally sit down with a proper cup of tea and everything just feels right? That is exactly what this little infuser is here for. No more paper bags, no more sad, dusty tea sachets. Just real leaves, real flavor, and a cup that actually tastes like something. Believe me, once you go loose leaf, there is no going back, honey.
Built to Last
Solid Stainless Steel, Fine Mesh Basket
This tea strainer is made from stainless steel, which means no rust, no funny taste, and no worrying about it falling apart after a few washes. The fine mesh basket is tight enough to catch even the smallest loose leaf particles, so you get a clean cup every single time. The hook design keeps it sitting neatly on your mug rim while your tea steeps. Simple, sturdy, and honest.
Picture This
Your Morning Cup, Done Properly
You spoon your loose leaf tea into the mesh basket, set the infuser right over your mug with the hook holding it steady, and pour your hot water over. Then you wait, just a few minutes, while the kitchen fills with that warm, familiar smell. When it is ready, you lift it out, set it aside, and sit down. Well now, that is a morning ritual worth keeping, if you ask me.
Everyday Proof
The Loose Leaf Strainer That Earns Its Place
The hook is the thing, let me tell you. It means the infuser stays put while your tea steeps and you are not chasing it around the counter. The fine mesh does its job quietly, holding back the leaves so you are not fishing bits out of your cup. Rinse it under the tap when you are done and it is ready for the next brew. No drama, no fuss, just good tea.
What You Get
One Infuser, Ready to Brew
Inside the package you will find your stainless steel tea infuser with its hook and fine mesh basket, ready to use straight away. No assembly, no instructions to puzzle over. Just fill it, hook it, steep it. Hold on now, that really is all there is to it. A small thing that earns its spot in your kitchen from the very first cup.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Will this infuser work with my regular mug?
Yes, the hook design is made to rest on the rim of a standard cup or mug, keeping the infuser steady while your tea steeps. Mind you, it is designed for cups and mugs, not for use inside a teapot.
Can I use it for herbal teas, or just regular loose leaf?
Both, dear. This infuser works for loose leaf teas and herbal blends alike. The fine mesh basket is tight enough to hold even smaller herb particles, so your cup stays clear and clean.
Will small tea particles get through the mesh into my cup?
The mesh is fine enough to catch the small particles that come with most loose leaf teas and herbal blends. Between you and me, a very fine powdery tea like a sifted dust grade may leave a little sediment, but for everyday loose leaf it does a solid job.
How do I clean it after use?
A quick rinse under the tap after each use is all it needs. The stainless steel holds up well to regular rinsing and will not rust or pick up flavors from your tea. Simple as that.
Is this infuser big enough for a full cup of tea?
It is sized to brew a single cup or mug serving of loose leaf tea. If you are brewing for a crowd, you would want a teapot infuser instead. But for your own personal cup, morning or evening, this one does the job nicely.

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.
