What It Is / How It Works

This stainless steel tea infuser is a small mesh ball that holds loose tea leaves or spices while they steep in hot water. Tea balls are a common kitchen tool for brewing a single cup, and the mesh lets the liquid pass through while the leaves stay inside.

Who It's For / Use Cases

Tea infusers suit people who brew loose leaf tea or spice blends one cup at a time. They fit home cooks who keep a small set of kitchen tools for hot drinks and simmered flavors.

How to Use / Care

1. Use it to hold loose tea or spices while they steep in hot water.

How to Choose

Pick a tea infuser by the task. Loose leaf tea needs room to expand, so a larger sphere suits full-leaf brewing. Match the size to how much you brew at once, whether that is a single cup or a teapot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this tea ball made of?
It is made of stainless steel.

What goes inside a tea ball?
Loose leaf tea, herbs or whole spices are the usual contents. Fill it only partway so the leaves have room to open and the water can move through them.

Can it be used for both tea and spices?
Both work, since the mesh keeps loose pieces inside while liquid passes through. Very fine powders may slip through a wide mesh, so whole spices and loose tea are the better fit.

Is it a tea ball or a tea filter?
Tea ball, tea infuser and tea filter all describe the same kind of mesh sphere that holds loose leaves in hot water. The title uses several of these names for one tool.
