HIC Kitchen Snap Ball Tea Infuser, 18/8 Stainless Steel, For Loose Leaf Tea and Mulling Spices

simple way to deal with loose tea

Been using this for a few months now, and it's great! I like how the design keeps the tea submerged, but also provides a handle to stir the water with. It's definitely the best infuser I've used to prevent tiny tea particles from escaping. I also haven't had any trouble with the sphere staying closed.I bought an infuser similar to this from a different place once, and even though I loved the design, the joint rivets on that one were very cheaply made, and popped out, rendering it useless. This one, however, has very good and strong rivets that won't come apart easily.

I have been using it every day and no sign of rust. I only make a cup of tea at a time, take it out and reuse it 1-2 more times. It always has wet tea leaves in it except for the time that I wash it. Again, no rust. Not yet and hopefully not ever. The ball does not close completely in a couple of places so some tea gets out; very little of it so it is no big deal. The ball seems big but when you put it in a cup, it is not big at all. I would recommend it, especially that it wasn't even 4 dollars.

I first came across this tea-infuser in Bergen (Norway) where it's known as a TESIL. I was quite taken in by how practical it was when dealing with loose leaf tea, but using it as if it was a tea bag. I found one on Amazon and went ahead and ordered it immediately. It works great, and even looks great.

Snap Spoon Tea infuser is well-made and sturdy. I use it often with my loose leaf teas. I have had no problems with it at all. It is easy to clean and easy to use. I recommend it. It also makes a good gift for anyone who enjoys loose leaf tea.

This is a great little product for all the tea lovers there are in theworld. Just simple design. The material this tea ball is made ofis of a good quality overall. Plus the mesh of the teaball head has theproportionate sized strain holes to keep the leaves from making it throughinto your cup or container that you are using to steep your delicioustea in!

I was extremely disappointed to open my order of this product today and find that the product here: http://www.amazon.com/HIC-Brands-that-Cook-Infuser/dp/B000PSBJRA/ref=pd_sim_k_6more accurately describes what comes in the mail (although I'm not sure it's the same thing. I wish I had read the reviews, although only a couple mention that the product isn't as described. There is a big difference between a mesh tea infuser and a metal one with teeny tiny holes. I searched for quite a while to try and find a smaller mesh one and I'm not super hopeful that amazon is going to make this right.
