Red Silicone Tea Infuser Leaf Handle with Steel Ball

This thing is adorable and works really well.I bought it for my boyfriend as part of a Christmas gift because he loves loose teas. It's convenient that this strainer comes with a stand so you don't get tea all over the counter.I gave this strainer 4 stars because I find that some loose tea comes out of the strainer and into the cup, although not a lot.

The only thing I don't like about this product if that in water it doesn't like to sit on the bottom of the cup until you tilt sideways a few times to release the air bubbles. But you deal with that for the cuteness of the product! Other than that it's great.

As much as I love this design, there is one major flaw to this product: the green "cap" isn't vented, so rather than sinking to the bottom of your cup, it floats at the top. Because it is made out of silicone, I "modified" it myself and cut a tiny hole in the top for the air to escape. Other than that, it works wonderfully; perfect sized infuser holes, very easy to clean, and fun looking.

It's cute and I like that it floats to the top of my 16-oz paper cups at work (otherwise it would be too short) but I don't like the fact that to get the tea in, you have to squeeze the top/leaf part to release the seal...and then squeeze it again to close the now-full-of-tea infuser ball.

Works well and is nice looking to leave on my desk at work. My only complaint is that I ordered red and got green.

Pretty neat. I will buy another..

Sad to say it wasn't a successful product. First, it was difficult to load and close. My parents have arthritis and it was just too small and slippery. Then once in the water, it just floated and after dunking and swirling the water was lightly colored. Opened the container and most of the tea was still dry. Big disappointment.Tried several times, but grew frustrated and gave up. Ended up buying empty tea bags, some loose leaf teas, and making our own tea blends. Fun and easy.

This is a wonderful little device! When I don't want to make a full pot, just a cup for the evening, I use this. It is easy to clean, leaves no taste, and really fun to look at poking out of your cup. I want to get a bunch more for stocking stuffers, useable art!
