Know before you buy
No, this product is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water after each use to maintain its shape and finish.
The Baby Nessie does not include a stand or a lid. It is designed to float freely in your mug while your tea steeps.
This infuser is best suited for medium-to-large loose-leaf teas. Very fine tea dust or small herbal particles may escape through the straining holes.
No, the Baby Nessie is crafted from standard durable plastic and is not labeled as BPA-free.
Since the infuser is made from plastic rather than metal, it is inherently rust-resistant. However, it may be prone to staining if left in contact with dark teas for extended periods.
