What It's Made Of
Soft Silicone, Solid Loose Leaf Strainer
Made from food-grade silicone, this unicorn tea strainer is flexible, sturdy, and completely safe for your daily brew. Mind you, silicone is one of those materials that just makes sense for a tea infuser: it doesn't rust, it doesn't stain the way metal can, and it won't crack if you drop it. The unicorn shape isn't just cute, it's designed to sit right over your mug while your leaves steep.
In Your Mug
Steep, Lift, Sip - That's Really It
Picture this: you spoon your favorite loose leaf blend into the unicorn strainer, set it over your mug, pour your hot water, and let it do its thing. When your tea has steeped to your liking, you lift the little silicone unicorn out, give it a quick rinse, and you're done. Between you and me, it's the kind of simple that makes you wonder why you ever bothered with anything more complicated.

Let me tell you, the best tea infuser is the one you actually reach for every morning without thinking twice. This silicone loose leaf strainer is easy to rinse clean, which means no excuse to skip it on a busy Tuesday. It fits standard mugs, so no hunting for the right cup. And because it's silicone, believe me, it's going to outlast every flimsy mesh infuser you've ever owned.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
What type of tea can I use with this infuser?
This strainer is designed for loose leaf tea of any kind. Whether you're brewing a classic black tea, an herbal blend, or a floral tisane, just spoon your leaves in, steep, and lift. It is not intended for tea bags or powdered teas like matcha.
Will this fit my mug?
The unicorn silicone infuser is designed to sit over standard mugs. If your mug has an unusually narrow or wide rim, it's worth checking the product dimensions before ordering. Most everyday mugs should work just fine.
Is the silicone safe for hot water?
Yes. The infuser is made from food-grade silicone, which is safe for use with hot liquids. It won't leach anything into your tea and won't warp or melt under normal brewing temperatures.
How do I clean it after use?
A quick rinse is all it takes. The silicone material doesn't hold onto tea stains the way some metals or plastics can. Empty the spent leaves, rinse under water, and it's ready for your next cup.

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.
