Know before you buy
The infuser features a high-quality mesh designed to contain standard loose-leaf teas and mulling spices effectively. While it is excellent for most tea grades, very fine dust or powdered teas may occasionally pass through the mesh.
Absolutely. Because of its 3-inch size, it is perfect for steeping whole herbs, mulling spices, or aromatics in soups and stews. The attached hook makes it easy to retrieve the infuser from a pot or mug once your infusion is complete.
No, this infuser is crafted from 18/8 stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. It is designed to withstand frequent exposure to hot water and acidic ingredients like citrus or spices without degrading.
The infuser is dishwasher safe, making cleanup simple. For hand washing, we recommend rinsing it immediately after use and using a soft brush to remove any tea leaves or spice residue trapped in the mesh.
The hanging clip is designed to fit standard mugs and teacups securely. It provides a stable anchor, though it may not fit on the extra-thick rims of some oversized or novelty-shaped mugs.
