Description
This little plastic tea infuser takes the form of a contented capybara, eyes closed, a gentle smile on its face and a small round orange fruit balanced on top of its head. Capybarahhh is its name, and it suits it: the capybara looks as though it is sinking happily into a warm bath. Its body is brown with fine fur detail moulded across its back and sides, and its front paws reach forward to rest over the rim of your cup. It stands 8.5cm tall, 5cm wide and 5cm deep, a neat size for an everyday mug or teacup.
Fill it with your favourite loose leaf tea, hook its paws over the edge of a mug or teacup and let its body sit in the hot water while the tea brews. When the colour looks right, lift it out by its head and set it aside. It earns its place in the kitchen or on a desk at work, wherever a cup of tea is a regular break in the day. As a gift it suits a friend who loves both tea and animals, or a brother or sister with a soft spot for capybaras. It makes a cheerful present on its own or tucked in with a packet of good loose leaf tea.
The infuser is made from plastic, in brown with the little fruit picked out in bright orange. Once your tea has brewed, tip out the used leaves and rinse the infuser in warm soapy water, then leave it to dry before you put it away; a soft brush helps clear any small fragments of leaf. Kept by the kettle with the tea caddy, it turns an ordinary brew into a small moment of calm, and it is a gift that gets used every day rather than sitting in a drawer.
