Stainless Steel Loose Leaf Tea Ball Infuser, 1.75"x2"

A tea infuser is a device in which loose tealeaves are placed for brewing, usually in a cup; it is often called a tea ball or tea maker, and sometimes a tea egg. Its use became popular in the 18th century. It remains the purest way to create the most flavorful tea from your own choice of leaves. This washable mesh ball uses osmosis (yeah! osmosis) to transfer the teas characteristics in a pure form. The mesh is fine enough to strain the tea so you only get the flavor while the leaves remain in the ball.
