Innovative Tea Infusers


Hi, Folks..

Everyone has used boring Tea Bags. How would it be ? If you had an creative tea infuser in your cup.

What is this Tea Infuser ?

   A tea infuser is a device in which loose, dried tea leaves are placed for steeping or brewing, in a mug or a teapot full of hot water; it is often called a teaball or tea maker, and sometimes a tea egg.The tea infuser gained popularity in the first half of the 19th century. By the time of Queen Victoria, no respectable British household would be without one.

    Tea infusers enable one to easily steep tea from fannings and broken leaf teas.
Some infusers are removed along with the tea leaves from the pot, while so called shut-off infusers are left in the pot after the brewing process is complete.

Use 

    A tea infuser performs a similar function as a tea bag, a later American invention. The infuser is generally a small mesh or perforated metal container or covered spoon that holds tea leaves, in varying sizes to steep single or multiple servings at once. Common shapes for infusers include spherical, conical and cylindrical. One style of infuser is a split sphere with tong-like handles to open its mesh container.

     The infuser is placed in a cup or pot of hot or boiling water, allowing the tea to brew without loose tea leaves spilling into the pot or cup. A rod or chain is commonly attached to the container of the infuser to simplify retrieval from the pot or cup. Infusers with large holes may not catch all the leaves, requiring the use of a tea strainer to remove the remaining pieces.

Well to me it Sounds Perfect and Interesting...


1) Shark Infuser


Oh my !!  Shark in my tea cup..lol... It looks perfect in teacup...
Pablo Matteodo is an artist from Argentina who designed this Sharky Tea Infuser. Here’s a bit from the artist:

INFUSION means to extract certain properties from an soluble ingredient such as tea leaves , herbs or fruit by soaking in liquid (water) until it gets saturated. So we can say that a infuser is the in charged of make this happen. This is a ludic point of view about the color given off from the phenomenon, wich makes more interesting the waiting of the whole process.

We are the robot...Robot all set to take a dip in tea cup...

They don't have emotions (yet), but robots are slowly taking over all the boring jobs we didn't want to do ourselves. They skim our swimming pools, vacuum our floors, spy on our children, and now they brew us the perfect cup of loose leaf tea. If you've been waiting to hop on the loose leaf tea wagon, now is the perfect time to join the revolution.
The Robot Tea Infuser is made of stainless steel. Pop open his chest compartment and load it with your favorite loose leaf tea. Close it up and he's ready for an invigorating dip in your  mug of scalding hot water. His adjustable arms allow him to hang freely without getting his head wet. When your steeping time is done, the infuser tray below the robot prevents dripping as you carry him to the nearest waste containment vessel.

5) Duck Infuser




Duck is wading in my cup... ;) Quack Quack !!

The life of a duck is a simple one. Wake up. Go for a swim. Eat some tiny fishes. Waddle up on shore to beg people for bread. Go for a swim. Eat some tiny fishes. Turn the water a bit more brown with your digested fishes. Swim some more.
Finally, you can turn water brown with your very own Duck Tea Infuser. Simply put some  looseleaf tea into the stainless steel mesh basket, attach it to the ducky, and set the ducky afloat in a sea of hot water for several minutes. Slowly but surely, the ducky will do his duty and turn the water a delicious shade of brown... or possibly green. When you're done steeping, rest the ducky in the drip cup, which emulates the duck's natural habitat.
