tea infuser
Loose-leaf brewing cage
A tea infuser is a small perforated container for steeping loose tea leaves in hot water.
The infuser holds the leaves while allowing water to circulate, then lifts out cleanly when brewing is complete.
Common shapes include balls, baskets, and novelty figures: She dropped the tea infuser into her mug.
