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!
It's nice when something works like it should! Plus, it's just cute!
ReplyDeleteOK, you convinced me. I need to go shopping more often!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! There is a TJ Maxx near me. I need to check it out.

ReplyDeleteThat infuser is seriously cool. I like that a lot.
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting, also looks easy to clean. Thank you for your product review!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of a fly swatter. But I like the tall skinny design. Glad it works.
