Technical details
Stainless Steel Loose Leaf Tea Infuser
This umbrella-shaped tea strainer is made from stainless steel and designed to sit right inside your mug or cup, holding loose leaf tea while it steeps. The infuser rests on the rim of your cup, no chain, no clip, no fuss. It works with standard mugs and is easy to rinse clean after use. A small drip tray is included to rest the infuser on once your tea is ready. Dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.
The Real Difference
Loose Leaf Tea, Finally Without the Fuss
You love a proper cup of tea, but wrestling with a soggy tea bag or hunting for the lid of your old infuser at seven in the morning? No thank you. This little umbrella strainer just sits in your mug, does its job quietly, and lets you get on with your morning. Believe me, once you try loose leaf this easily, there is no going back, dear.
Built to Last
Solid Stainless Steel, Clever Umbrella Design
Hold on now, let me tell you what makes this one worth keeping. It is made from stainless steel, so no rust, no plastic taste sneaking into your Earl Grey, no worrying about it warping after a few washes. The umbrella shape is not just charming, it is practical. It rests right on the rim of your cup, stays put while your tea steeps, and comes with its own little drip tray. Mind you, that tray is a small thing that makes a big difference on your counter.
Picture This
Your Mug, Your Loose Leaf, Your Moment
You spoon your favorite loose leaf into the infuser, set it over your mug, pour the hot water, and let it do its thing. No balancing act, no dripping chain swinging against the side of the cup. When your tea is steeped just right, you lift the infuser out and rest it on the drip tray. Well now, that is the whole ritual, neat and simple, the way a good cup of tea ought to be.
Everyday Proof
The Loose Leaf Strainer That Earns Its Spot
Between you and me, the real test of any tea infuser is whether it is still on your counter six months from now or shoved in a drawer. Stainless steel does not stain, does not hold onto yesterday's chamomile, and goes straight into the dishwasher when you cannot be bothered to rinse it by hand. The drip tray means no little puddle on your kitchen counter every single morning. Practical, honest, and just a little bit lovely.
What You Get
Everything in the Box, No Surprises
Inside the box you will find the stainless steel umbrella tea infuser and its matching drip tray. That is it, no assembly, no instructions to puzzle over, just a ready-to-use loose leaf strainer waiting for your first cup. Pop it over your favorite mug and you are already halfway to a lovely brew. Simple as that, sweetheart.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Will this infuser fit my regular coffee mug?
Yes, the umbrella infuser is designed to rest on the rim of a standard mug or cup. It sits right on top while your tea steeps, so as long as you are using an everyday mug, you should be just fine.
Is it easy to clean after use?
Very easy. The infuser is dishwasher-safe, so you can toss it in with the rest of your dishes. If you prefer to rinse by hand, stainless steel does not hold onto stains or old flavors, so a quick rinse under the tap does the job.
Does it come with anything to rest the infuser on after steeping?
It does. A small drip tray is included in the box, so once your tea is ready you have somewhere clean to set the infuser down. No puddles on your counter, no scrambling for a spare saucer.
Can I use this for herbal teas and chamomile, not just black or green tea?
Absolutely. The stainless steel strainer works with any loose leaf tea or dried herb blend. And because stainless steel does not absorb flavors, your chamomile will not taste like last night's peppermint.
Will the infuser rust or stain over time?
Stainless steel is chosen precisely because it resists rust and staining with regular use and washing. Mind you, it is always worth letting it dry properly between uses, but day to day it is a very low-maintenance little tool.

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.
