This spoon-shaped tea infuser has a sliding lid with tiny holes that let water through while trapping even the smallest tea leaves. The Drosselmeyer infuser is Swedish-designed, sleek and seriously handy for fine-leafed teas, but it brews any loose-leaf tea just as well.
Whether you have a cup now and then or every single day, most of us have a favourite tea we reach for in the morning or on a cosy evening. Red, black or green, some varieties just happen to come with leaves so small they laugh in the face of a regular infuser.
Slide the lid open, use the spoon to scoop up your tea leaves, close the lid and lower the whole spoon into your cup of hot water. Let it steep, then lift the spoon out when you have reached your desired strength. Drag the infuser along the rim of the cup and it can go straight onto the table without dripping. The infuser is designed for one cup, but the amount of tea it holds is actually enough to brew two.
