OK, so the essential parts of the tea drinking process is hot water and the tea leaves. Well, you can probably guess that it gets a bit awkward drinking tea when you have loose leaves floating free in your cup, so an infuser or strainer is required for proper delivery of the leaves to the water to make tea. Yes, there are tea bags but with loose leaf, you need to filter or house the leaves but have a porous mechanism to allow water to flow in and out. So there are the standard mesh tea balls, spoon shaped infusers or perforated metal options too. Sometimes a tea drinker just needs a bit of whimsy in their life and what better way than to use an infuser to show some of their specific style and pizzazz. Below are just a few of the wonderful and whimsical options for the modern tea drinker. If you plan on hosting a serious afternoon tea, I would not recommend the infusers here displayed, but the strainer might suit fine.
