A convenient and stylish telescopic shaped tea infuser attached to a flat ball. The ball can be opened in two halves by pressing a spring operated lever in the handle, and closed after putting the tea leaves. The infuser is put in the hot water for the required time and taken out while tea leaves remain inside the ball. The tea leaves in the infuser can be easily reused by repeating the same process. Suitable for 1-2 cups of tea.

This infuser is suitable for whole leaf teas, and not for Chai.

Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Benjamin ★★★★★

The ball opens with a quick press of the lever and snaps shut tight, so no leaves escape into my cup. I've used it daily for a month and the brass still looks polished. Cleaning takes a bit of rinsing, but that's true of any infuser.

Owen ★★★★★

The spring-loaded lever on the handle makes opening and closing the two halves feel oddly satisfying, and the flat ball sits perfectly at the bottom of my mug without tipping over. Cleanup took all of ten seconds under running water, which is more than I can say for my old mesh strainer.

Ellie T. ★★★★★

The telescopic design is such a clever touch—it collapses down for storage but extends nicely when I need it. The spring lever opens the two halves smoothly, and the flat ball sits perfectly in my mug without tipping over.
