Description
This bird tea infuser is a small stainless steel shell in the shape of a plump little bird, ready to hold a spoonful of loose tea in your cup. Its body is dotted all over with small holes, so water flows through while the leaves stay inside. The two halves are hinged at the base and close neatly together, and a fine chain runs from the top with a little wire hook at the end. The body measures about 5.5cm long, 4.5cm tall and 2cm deep, not counting the chain, and the whole piece has a bright, polished silver shine.
It belongs wherever you make a cup of loose tea: by the kettle in the kitchen, on a desk for a mid-morning brew, or tucked in a drawer at work. Open the bird, add your leaves, close it and lower it into a cup or mug, then hook the chain over the rim so the end stays outside the drink. When your tea is as strong as you like it, lift the bird out by the chain and there are no stray leaves to fish out. Its small size is made for a single cup, and the bird outline brings a cheerful note to the everyday tea break.
Made from stainless steel, it is light and simple to look after. Tip out the used leaves, rinse it under the tap, and when it needs a proper clean it can go in the dishwasher on the top rack only. A quick dry with a soft cloth keeps the polished finish bright. Arriving on a printed card, it makes a small, thoughtful gift on its own or tucked in alongside a packet of loose leaf tea and a favourite mug.
