Product Details
Silicone Strainer Built to Last and Delight
Made from food-grade silicone, this whale tea infuser is flexible, heat-resistant, and genuinely safe for your daily brew. Mind you, silicone is one of those materials that just holds up beautifully over time. No rust, no staining, no funny smells. The whale design is not just cute for the sake of it. The body opens wide enough to give your loose leaves room to unfurl properly, which, believe me, makes a real difference in the cup.
In Action
Clip It On, Let Your Tea Bloom
Here is how it goes. You open the whale, spoon in your loose leaf tea, close it back up, and rest it right on the rim of your favorite mug. Pour your hot water over it and let it steep. The leaves have room to move, the flavor has room to develop, and you have a minute to just breathe. When the time is right, you lift the whale out, set it on its tail, and your tea is ready. Simple as that, dear.

FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Is this infuser safe to use with boiling water?
Yes, it is made from food-grade silicone, which is heat-resistant and safe for use with hot water. You can pour your boiling water right over it without any worry. It will not warp, melt, or release anything unpleasant into your tea.
Will this whale infuser fit my mug?
It is designed to clip onto the rim of a standard mug or cup. Most everyday mugs will work just fine. If you use a very wide or unusually shaped cup, it is worth checking the fit, but for a regular tea mug it should sit comfortably and securely.
How do I clean the whale tea strainer?
Hand washing is recommended to keep it in the best shape over time. A quick rinse under warm water right after use is usually all it takes. The silicone does not hold onto stains or odors, which makes cleanup genuinely easy and fast.
Does it hold enough loose leaf tea for a full mug?
The whale body opens to hold your loose leaf tea and is sized for a single-cup brew. It gives the leaves enough room to expand and steep properly, which is what you want for a good cup. It is designed for one mug at a time, not a full pot.
Can I give this as a gift?
Absolutely. It is a charming and practical little gift for any tea lover, whether they are just getting into loose leaf tea or have been brewing it for years. It arrives ready to use, so there is nothing extra the recipient needs to do before their first 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?

Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
