Infuser Tongs for tea - Stainless Steel

Great little infusers that come in a choice of two sizes, with the added benefit of the tong handle which allows for stirring the tea blend within the cup/mug without burning your fingers.

Use the tong handle to pinch together and open up to allow you to pop a spoonful of your favourite loose leaves in.  Once you have filled with your tea, pop the infuser into the cup, when it's brewed then simply use the handle to remove from the hot water without burning your fingers - always useful!

Available in 3 sizes, small (diameter 45mm), Medium (diameter 50mm) and large (diameter 65mm).

Below is a guide for each size of Long Handled Mesh Tea Ball Infuser:

Small Infuser Tongs - 45mm (1.75"): This is the perfect size for a small cup for one or small leafy teas or herbal blends. However, if you are looking to infuse a larger leaf tea or herbal infusion with large herbal pieces, we would recommend using either the medium or large size. Be careful not to overfill the tea ball, as the leaves will swell, and with no space to move, some tea leaves might escape through the edges of the mesh ball. 

Medium Infuser Tongs - 50mm (2"): While this long handled mesh tea ball is only 5mm larger in diameter than the small sized infuser, it allows easier brewing of larger leafed teas and herbs or facilitates the use of more tea should you like a stronger infusion.

Large Infuser Tongs - 65mm (2.5"): This Large Long Handled Mesh Tea Ball Infuser has a capacity likened to have sufficient space for 4 cups (where one cup = 230ml), so it would only fit a large cup, mug, or small teapot if infusing without using the teapot lid. Large leaf teas such as oolongs are ideal for this size of infuser ball, as they will have plenty of space to unfurl and infuse.

Once your infusion is complete, remove the long handled infuser, and to remove the tea leaves, simply squeeze the handle to open the mesh tea ball. Once opened, the leaves can be removed and placed int the waste bin or on the compost heap. Always rinse the infuser and remove any residual leaves, but try to avoid rinsing tea leaves down your sink to avoid drain blockages.

All sizes come boxed and are dishwasher safe.
