Technical details
Silicone Turtle Tea Infuser at a Glance
This loose leaf tea strainer is shaped like a little turtle and made entirely of food-grade silicone, so it sits right on the rim of your mug without slipping in. The strainer basket holds enough loose leaf tea for a standard cup, and the silicone body stays cool to the touch even with boiling water. It is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup and works with any standard mug. Not recommended for very fine-cut teas that may slip through the mesh.
The Benefit
Loose Leaf Tea, Zero Fuss Every Morning
You know that little moment of peace when your tea is steeping and the whole kitchen smells wonderful? Well, this silicone turtle tea infuser keeps that moment simple. No paper bags, no plastic pods, no mess to wrestle with. Just your loose leaf tea, your favorite mug, and a tiny turtle perched on the rim like he owns the place. Believe me, mornings get a little better.
Product Details
Food-Grade Silicone, Built to Last
Made from food-grade silicone, this loose leaf tea strainer is soft, flexible, and completely safe in contact with boiling water. Mind you, silicone does not absorb odors or stains the way plastic can, so your chamomile will never taste like last Tuesday's Earl Grey. The turtle design is not just cute, it is practical: the shape keeps the infuser sitting steady on your mug rim without any clips or awkward handles to fiddle with.
In Action
Steep, Lift, Sip. That Is Really It.
Fill the little basket with your loose leaf tea, set the turtle on the rim of your mug, and pour your hot water right over him. He will sit there patiently while your tea steeps, and when you are ready, you just lift him out. The silicone stays cool to the touch, so no burned fingers, no dripping strainer left on the counter. Hold on now, that is genuinely the whole process.
Everyday Proof
The Silicone Strainer That Earns Its Spot
Between you and me, the real test of any tea infuser is whether it survives the dishwasher and still comes out looking decent. This one does. Toss it on the top rack, done. The silicone does not warp, does not crack, does not hold on to yesterday's flavors. It is the kind of small tool that quietly becomes the one you reach for every single day without thinking twice about it.

FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Is this tea infuser safe to use with boiling water?
Yes, it is made from food-grade silicone, which handles boiling water without warping or releasing anything into your cup. The body also stays cool to the touch, so you can lift it out of your mug without burning your fingers. Pretty handy, let me tell you.
Will it fit my mug?
The turtle infuser is designed to sit on the rim of a standard mug. It works well with most everyday mugs. If your mug has a very wide or unusually shaped rim, it is worth checking the fit before your first brew, just to be sure.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
Absolutely, it is dishwasher safe. Top rack is always a safe bet for silicone pieces. It comes out clean, odor-free, and ready for the next cup. No scrubbing, no soaking, no fuss. That alone is reason enough to love it.
Does it work with very finely cut loose leaf teas?
For very fine-cut teas or powdery blends, some small particles may slip through the strainer basket. It works best with standard loose leaf teas. Mind you, for something like matcha you would want a proper whisk and bowl setup anyway, not an infuser.
Will the silicone pick up flavors or stains over time?
Food-grade silicone is naturally resistant to absorbing odors and stains, which is one of the reasons it holds up so well compared to plastic. Your peppermint tea will not haunt your next cup of Darjeeling. A good rinse or a run through the dishwasher keeps it fresh.

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.
