Know before you buy
The infuser is not dishwasher safe, so it should be hand-washed with mild soap and warm water after each use to maintain its condition.
It is designed for standard loose leaf tea. However, very fine tea dust or herbal powders may escape through the mesh, so it works best with medium to large-leaf varieties.
No, the Mon Cherry does not include a lid or a stand. You will need to place it on a saucer or a small plate once you remove it from your mug.
The infuser is designed to sit on the rim of standard-sized mugs. It may not be stable on mugs with unusually wide or thick rims.
The product specifications do not indicate that the materials used are BPA-free. Please keep this in mind if you have specific material sensitivities.
