{"product_id":"stainless-tea-infuser-basket","title":"Stainless Tea Infuser Basket with Lid","description":"\u003ch2\u003eStainless steel tea infuser basket with lid\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stainless steel infuser basket is a deep 304 steel basket that sits in the mouth of a mug, for brewing loose-leaf tea one cup at a time. Leaf goes in, water goes over it, and the whole basket lifts out when the tea is where you want it. The lid keeps the heat in while it steeps, then turns over and becomes the dish you stand the wet basket on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepth is what sets it apart from the clip-on infusers most people start with. Leaf packed into a narrow ball can't open, and tea brewed that way comes out thin no matter how long you leave it. This basket is 7cm deep and 6.5cm across at the rim, so a full spoon of leaf has room to unfurl and the water can move through it. That's the difference between a mug infuser that works for a big twisted oolong and one that doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wall is micro-perforated rather than woven mesh, which holds back the fine broken leaf a coarser mesh lets through into the cup. A long handle runs off one side and a short hook off the other, so the basket balances on the rim instead of dropping in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBasket:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5cm rim, 4.8cm base, 7cm deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length with handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLid:\u003c\/strong\u003e included, doubles as a drip stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThis works well for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhole-leaf teas in a mug: oolong, white tea and big-leaf black tea that need room to open\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrewing at a desk with no teapot and nothing extra to wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine or broken leaf that slips through a coarser mesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomeone moving from teabags to loose leaf who wants one tool that fits the mugs they already own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt sits in most standard mugs.
