IngenuiTEA Loose Tea Infuser - Brewer - 450ml

Product Information

Mistakes with brewing tea usually involve time, temperature, or water-to-tea ratio. This means brewing for too long or too short, using an incorrect temperature, or using too much or too little tea. Being mindful of all three factors will help people develop their tea-brewing techniques."— Shunan Teng, Founder and CEO ofTea Drunk What to Look for When Buying a Tea Infuser Size Fill the IngenuiTEA with plain water. Press the bottom valve and let the water clear out the suds from the lower part of the IngenuiTEA. Repeat this step once or twice until the suds have been flushed out.

We received the Stop-Infusion Travel Mug from the brand for testing purposes and found that each of the teas we brewed with it was strong and evenly diffused. The steel-and-plastic tea press, or plunger, is also extremely effective at tamping down loose tea leaves and ensuring sediment doesn't end up in any sips. The top of the tea press has a 360-degree vent that lets you drink from any side; it's a unique design that might take a moment to get used to, but sipping is smooth and drip-free. The lid needs to be removed before drinking, though, so you'll need two free hands to open it. As far as its performance, the Tea Drop does not have the absolute finest infuser basket. Some small particles ended up in the mug after we tested multiple tea varieties but not to the extent that it marred the flavor or drinking experience. We were impressed by how large the infuser basket is, which is a benefit because it gives tea leaves space to evenly diffuse throughout the mug or teapot. The Forlife Brew-In-Mug Infuser hits all the key marks. The stainless steel basket is safe to throw in the dishwasher, and it's also easy to wash by hand for those who prefer. A few leaves got caught between the basket and the lid after steeping but rinsed away without issue. The lid, which also acts as a drip tray, has a reliable silicone seal that keeps condensation from getting on the handle. And, most importantly, the infuser retains leaves well while simultaneously allowing flavor to spready fully and evenly throughout the cup.This tea ball has a dreamy nighttime-themed teapot charmed attached to it, making it a great way to wind down, perhaps with a cup of caffeine-free herbal tea. The charm has a functional purpose too, as it lets users remove the tea ball easily and without burning their fingers. Most tea infusers are designed to make one serving at a time, but is one cup ever really enough? Avid tea drinkers are better off with a product like the Adagio Teas ingenuiTEA Teapot. Available in 16 or 28 ounces, it has the same capacity as many traditional teapots, but it's easier and faster to use.

Tea balls are the most common type of infuser, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they brew the most flavorful tea. Many are very small and may not diffuse as thoroughly as a basket infuser, for instance, so keep that in mind when searching. Tea balls are usually made from mesh stainless steel and open in half via a clasp. They are often attached to chains or handles (the latter are sometimes called “tea pincers”) to make them easier to use. Infuser eggs, an ovular and slightly larger alternative, can also be sorted into this category. With its affordable price and unbeatable performance, the Finum Brewing Basket is the first place to look for a quality tea infuser, as basket-shaped infusers are widely preferred by tea experts and this is one of the best out there. We also love the convenient and adorable House Again Extra Fine Mesh Tea Infusers, especially if you're looking for a set instead of a single infuser. How We Tested Using the IngenuiTEANo matter the version you’re using, all IngenuiTEAs work the same way and follow the same instructions to brew tea.Many travel mugs today come with infusers for delicious tea on the go. The infusers themselves are typically basket style, but they are specially designed for the mug’s dimensions. The brewing process, which can be done for both hot and iced tea, is no different than standard models: simply fill the infuser, pour the water, and steep for the tea’s ideal length of time.
