Leopardskin Jasper Tea Infuser

Description

It seems that all the most incredible teas come in loose leaf form, rather than in tea bags. A reusable tea infuser allows you to brew those delightful teas without having little bits floating on the top of your tea, or settled in the bottom of your pot or cup.

The chain of this infuser has been embellished with lovely leopardskin jasper gemstone and silver plated beads. I’ve added a lobster clasp to the chain so that it can be removed if you wish to put your tea ball in the dishwasher. The chain can be hand washed & air dried, but putting the decorated chain in the dishwasher is NOT recommended.

The ball itself is of stainless steel mesh, which should provide many years of service. The mesh balls are reasonably sturdy however, they can be crushed, as an unsupervised child gleefully discovered at a bazaar some time ago. To care for your tea infuser, simply hand wash it, or put it in your dishwasher basket for a thorough cleaning.

The infuser ball measures approximately 1 & ¾” in diameter, or 4.5 cm, from outside edge to outside edge, and is more suitable for brewing a cup or two at a time, rather than an entire pot. The decorated chain measures approximately 5 & 1/4”, or 13.5 cm, in length.

Please do WASH your tea infuser before using it!
I make every effort to keep all of my items clean, but I don’t work in a sterile environment, nor do I create, photograph, or package while wearing food-safe gloves.
