Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a traditional round tea infuser?
A traditional round tea infuser is a classic metal mesh brewing accessory that holds loose leaf tea while it steeps in hot water. Its compact design makes it a simple and convenient way to enjoy loose leaf tea without mess.
Is this infuser suitable for all types of loose leaf tea?
Yes. It can be used with black, green, oolong, herbal, rooibos, and pu'erh teas. The fine mesh helps keep tea leaves contained while allowing water to circulate for a flavorful brew.
How do I clean it?
After use, simply empty the tea leaves and rinse the infuser under warm water. For a more thorough clean, wash it with mild dish soap and allow it to dry before storing.
How is this different from the Brew in a Mug infuser?
