Leafholic Cute Silicone Tea Infuser with Drip Tray, Ivory Yellow

It's cute. It's not very practical for most loose leaf teas but I bought it because it's cute. The holes are big so tea leaves and herbs can escape. I try to only use my gunpowder loose leaf green tea with this and for other teas I have a fine mesh metal strainer. If you're looking for a one stop, fits-all for all your loose leaf teas then you might want to pass.

Tea monkey is my Bff. he brews wonderfully, the 'timer' is based on how quickly the water and cup warm up his face. i take him with me to school and brew so many cups of tea with him!! i <3 <3 my tea monkey, if you want to buy him as a gift, DO IT! I get a lot of compliments on my little tea monkey. Cute and works like a charm!

He's so cute but more importantly he's very useful. It holds enough tea to make a strong cup & cleans up easily. I like that he has a little tray to sit in too. All around great buy.

Daughter wanted it and loved the color changing face.

I give it as a gift with loose tea and they loved it.

I love to try many different teas and a range of infusers and the one thing that bothers me about regular tea bags is that there are tossed after one use. Sometimes I'll keep the wrappper (if foil) or have something sitting nearby to put it on.This infuser, though I didn't give it much thought during purchase; has become one of, if not primarily, my favorite infusers because of the little resting tray. It is highly convenient to brew a cup and sit it to the side to be used for a second cup later. It is shaped well so as to catch any drips and contain them.When I first saw the infuser it didn't strike me as particularly cute but then I didn't imagine it at work. When you pour your hot water in and the little guy is just resting there on the edge it seems as if he is chillin in his hot bath - the color changing face gives him cute personality. The kids just love watching him and it's hard not to do so.I was able to take part in a promotion for testing and reviewing purposes however all opinions expressed are my own and in no way a reflection of the company itself. I was not paid to endorse the product but rather leave honest feedback based on personal experience.I personally think this item would make a great gift for a tea lover or beginner and hope to see more designs and fun features such as this in the future.
