Infusers
Find practical tea infusers, strainers and filters for brewing loose leaf tea in a cup, mug or teapot.
A good infuser gives loose leaf tea enough room to open and allows water to flow through the leaves. Our collection includes options for everyday brewing at home, work or while travelling.
Choose an infuser based on the type of tea you drink, the size of your cup or teapot and how easy the piece is to use and clean.
Choose the right tea infuser
Infusers for one cup
Single-cup infusers are a simple option for brewing loose leaf tea directly in a mug or cup. Look for a basket with enough room for the leaves to expand.
Teapot infusers
Teapot infusers are useful when preparing several cups or brewing a larger quantity of tea. Check that the infuser fits the teapot and allows the leaves to move freely.
Travel infusers
Travel-friendly infusers make it easier to enjoy loose leaf tea at work, away from home or while travelling.
Tea strainers and filters
Strainers and disposable filters can help separate tea leaves from the finished infusion and make clean-up easier.
How to choose an infuser
Consider the size of the cup or teapot, the quantity of tea you usually prepare and the size of the tea leaves or botanicals you want to brew. A fine mesh may be useful for smaller leaves, while a larger basket can suit whole leaf tea and herbal blends.
Also consider the handle, lid, drip tray and cleaning requirements. Product pages provide the available information about each infuser, including its materials, dimensions and care instructions.
How to use a tea infuser
Add the recommended quantity of loose leaf tea to the infuser, place it in your cup or teapot and add water at the temperature recommended for the tea. Allow it to steep for the suggested time, then remove the infuser or strain the tea before serving.
Rinse the infuser after use and follow the product-specific care instructions to help keep it in good condition.
