What is a tea infuser?

A tea infuseris a built-in strainer that lets you brew loose leaf tea, then separate the leaves from the liquid — no extra strainer or teapot needed. Some sit inside a mug, some are part of a glass teapot, and some are clever all-in-one cups. The point is simple: a proper cup of loose leaf tea with no mess and no fuss.

Types of tea infuser

  • Glass teapot with infuser — a heat-resistant glass teapot with a removable strainer or valve, ideal for brewing for a few people and watching the tea brew.
  • Tea infuser mug — a ceramic or clay mug with a built-in infuser and lid, so you can brew and drink from the same cup. The office favourite.
  • Glass tea infuser — a clear cup with an inner basket, so you can lift the leaves out at the right moment and watch them "dance" as they steep.

Why use a tea infuser?

  • No bitterness — lift the basket or drain the valve at the right moment, so delicate green and white teas never over-steep.
  • One vessel — brew and drink from the same cup or pot; no separate strainer or teapot to wash.
  • Office and home — a tea infuser mug with a lid keeps tea warm and your desk tidy.
  • See your tea — a glass infuser shows the leaves unfurling and the colour developing.

How to choose a tea infuser

  • For your desk — a tea infuser mug in ceramic or zisha clay is perfect for a personal cup.
  • For a few people — a glass teapot with infuser (around 600ml) brews enough to share.
  • For green & white tea — a glass tea infuser lets you watch the leaves and lift them out at the perfect moment.
  • For darker teas — a zisha clay infuser mug suits black tea and pu-erh.

Tea infuser FAQs

What is a tea infuser used for?

tea infuser holds loose leaf tea while it steeps, then keeps the leaves separate from the liquid — so you can brew loose leaf tea in a single cup, mug or teapot without a separate strainer.

How does a glass teapot with infuser work?

glass teapot with infuser holds the leaves in a removable strainer or a sealed inner chamber. You lift out the strainer, or press a valve to drain the brew, once the tea is ready — controlling the steeping time so it doesn't turn bitter.

What tea can I use in an infuser?

Any loose leaf tea. Glass infusers are lovely for green, white and jasmine tea where you can watch the leaves; ceramic and clay infuser mugs suit oolong, black tea and pu-erh.
