Steep Your Favorite Loose-Leaf Teas with Tea Steepers

Explore the delightful world of loose-leaf teas with tea infusers. A loose tea infuser is a kitchen accessory for every tea lover, serving the dual purpose of steeping your tea to perfection while keeping loose leaves contained. This simple yet innovative tool allows the tea leaves to expand and unfurl, releasing their full flavor profile into your cup for a superior tea-drinking experience.

How to Use a Tea Infuser

To use a tea infuser, simply open the infuser and fill it with your desired amount of loose-leaf tea. The general recommendation is one teaspoon of tea per cup, but this can vary depending on personal taste and the type of tea. Next, immerse the loose-leaf tea steeper in hot water and let it steep. Steeping times vary, but they generally range from 3 to 5 minutes for black tea and slightly less for green and white teas. After steeping, remove the tea infuser from your cup, and your perfectly brewed tea is ready to enjoy. Crate & Barrel offers a variety of tea steepers, including classic stainless-steel tea infusers like mesh tea balls. Each infuser is crafted with the utmost attention to detail and quality, ensuring that your tea is brewed to perfection every time. Whether you're a seasoned tea connoisseur or new to the world of loose-leaf teas, our tea infusers make the process effortless and enjoyable. Not only do our tea infusers make the perfect addition to your kitchen, but they also make thoughtful gifts for the tea lovers in your life when paired with a tea cup and tea kettle. Or, make your own tea set with a creamer and sugar bowl.
