Know before you buy
This infuser is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the quality of the hand-painted pewter charm and the mesh, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water after each use.
The 1-inch mesh ball is ideal for standard loose leaf teas. However, very fine tea dust or rooibos may occasionally pass through the mesh, so it is best suited for medium to large-leaf varieties.
Yes, the pewter charm is designed to hang outside your mug while the mesh ball steeps. While it is durable, we recommend keeping the charm out of the water to preserve the hand-painted finish over time.
No, this model does not include a resting tray. Since it features a hanging design, you will need a small saucer or plate nearby to place the infuser on once you remove it from your cup.
Because each maple leaf charm is hand-painted and crafted in the Danforth workshop, you should expect slight, unique variations in the finish and color application. These differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process.
