Know before you buy
This infuser is not dishwasher safe. To maintain its appearance and quality, we recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap and warm water after each use.
The 1-inch stainless steel mesh ball is ideal for most standard loose-leaf teas. However, very fine tea dust or rooibos may occasionally escape through the mesh.
The dragonfly charm is handcrafted from pewter, while the mesh ball is made of stainless steel. Because it contains pewter, it is important to hand wash the piece to preserve the finish.
No, this model does not include a stand or a drip tray. Since it is a floating-style infuser, you will want to have a small saucer or plate nearby to set it on once you remove it from your mug.
The stainless steel mesh is not rust-resistant. To prevent oxidation, ensure the infuser is thoroughly dried immediately after washing and avoid leaving it submerged in water for extended periods.
