Know before you buy
Yes. The infuser features an extra-fine mesh design specifically engineered to prevent small tea particles and dust from escaping into your mug.
The lid serves two purposes: it traps heat to ensure your tea steeps at the optimal temperature, and it doubles as a drip tray to catch excess water once you remove the infuser from your mug.
No, the silicone handles are designed to remain cool to the touch, allowing you to safely lift the infuser out of your mug even immediately after steeping.
The basket is designed to sit securely on the rim of most standard mugs. However, it is best suited for mugs with a standard opening width rather than extremely wide-rimmed or oversized novelty cups.
The infuser is dishwasher safe for easy maintenance. For a deeper clean, you can use a soft brush to remove any tea residue trapped in the fine mesh.
