A stainless steel tea infuser that floats. The upper section is hollow, and that is the whole trick: it keeps the infuser at the surface while the tea steeps, so there is no chain hanging over the rim, no clip on the handle, and nothing to fish out of the bottom of a hot cup with a spoon.

How to use it
Open the infuser and fill the mesh chamber with loose leaf — roughly a teaspoon per cup, more if the leaves are large and unfurled. Close it and set it in the mug, then pour over hot water: around 175°F for green, 200°F for black, a full boil for herbal. Steep three to five minutes depending on how strong you like it, then lift it out.
Rinse it under warm water straight after use, while the leaves are still loose, and leave it open to dry. Spent leaves cling once they cool.
Materials & Care
Stainless steel throughout — a fine mesh chamber that opens and closes for filling, under a hollow upper section that gives the infuser its flotation. Rinse after each use and dry open.
Why You'll Love It
The reason most people go back to tea bags is not taste, it is the mess. A chain-and-ball infuser drips across the counter. A basket needs somewhere to go the moment you lift it out. Both leave a scattering of leaves behind. This one sits at the surface where you can see it and reach it, closes properly so the fine particles stay inside, and rinses clean in seconds. It also means one infuser instead of a box of bags — the kind of small swap that actually holds, because it is easier rather than because it is virtuous.
Questions
How does it float?
The upper section of the infuser is hollow. That is what keeps it at the surface while the tea steeps — no chain, no clip, nothing resting on the rim.
Does it work in a teapot as well as a mug?
Yes — anywhere there is enough depth for it to float freely.
Will fine leaves get through the mesh?
The mesh is fine enough to hold small particles. Very dusty broken-leaf tea will always let a little through, whatever you brew it in.
How do I clean it?
Rinse under warm water right after use and leave it open to dry. Do not let leaves dry inside it.
