Description
This bearded garden gnome tea infuser turns an ordinary cup of loose leaf tea into a small cheerful ritual. He is made in light grey plastic with a bright red pointed hat, a flowing beard and moustache, a contented smile and a belted coat with a neat buckle, his hands tucked behind his back. Rows of small holes run across his coat and around its hem, so the tea can brew through them while the leaves stay inside. He stands 12cm tall and is 4cm wide and 4cm deep, a size that sits comfortably in a teacup or mug with his red hat peeping over the rim.
He earns his place in the kitchen, beside the kettle or next to the tea caddy, ready for the first cup of the morning or a quiet one at the desk. Because he stands upright on his own two boots, he can wait on a saucer or the worktop between brews rather than rolling about. He suits anyone who prefers loose leaf to tea bags, whether that is a breakfast blend, a delicate green or a few fresh mint leaves. As a gift he makes a warm and funny surprise for a friend, a brother or a sister who loves a good cup of tea.
The pale grey of his beard, coat and boots sets off the red hat, and the moulded details, from the curls of his beard to the buckle on his belt, give him real character even when he is half under the tea. After each cup, tip out the spent leaves, rinse him under warm running water and leave him standing to dry; a soft brush clears any leaves caught in the holes. Tuck him into a gift with a tin of good loose leaf tea and a favourite mug, and he is ready to brew the moment he is unwrapped.
