FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Will this infuser fit my mug?
The Umbrella Tea Infuser is designed to rest across the rim of a standard mug. That said, mug widths do vary, so it's worth measuring yours before you order. If your mug has an unusually narrow or wide opening, it may not sit properly.
How do I use a loose leaf tea infuser like this one?
Just add your loose leaf tea to the infuser, set it across your mug, and pour hot water over it. Let it steep to your taste, then lift the infuser out. The umbrella shape makes it easy to remove cleanly in one motion.
How do I clean it?
A simple rinse after each use is all it takes. Tap out the spent leaves, rinse the infuser under water, and it's ready for next time. Nothing complicated, which is exactly how Granny likes it.
What kind of tea works best with this infuser?
This infuser is made for loose leaf tea. Whether you're brewing a black breakfast tea, an herbal blend, or a floral tisane, it handles them all. Just make sure your leaf size isn't so fine that it slips through the infuser basket.
Is this a good gift for a tea lover?
It really is. It's charming to look at, immediately practical, and something a loose leaf tea drinker will actually use every day. If the person you're buying for already brews loose leaf tea, this is a thoughtful and useful little gift.

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.
