Joie's Silicone Tea Infuser

It's time for my first try-a-new-tea-infuser experiment of the year, and this time I tried the Joie Silicone Tea Infuser I got along with some Christmas goodies.

Here's what the infuser looked like in the package. I liked the fact it is shaped like a teabag, and it is heat resistant up to 500 degrees, so I'm not really concerned about my tea getting that hot!

The "teabag" pops open easily, and I added about a spoonful of Vanilla Tea from Adagio.

You close the teabag infuser until it locks into place, then plop it into your teacup just as you would a regular teabag. As you can see from the very first photo, it kept the leaves in and yet allowed my tea to steep just beautifully. I had my doubts this $2.99 T.J. Maxx gadget would a) stay closed and b) allow for proper steeping, so I must say I'm impressed with the results!

  8. It reminds me of a fly swatter. But I like the tall skinny design. Glad it works.
