Telescopic Brass Infuser

A telescopic brass infuser from The Vintage Hill Teas, for brewing loose leaf tea and herbs without disposable bags. The basket adjusts to sit in cups and teapots of different sizes, and the woven walls let leaves open fully in the water instead of staying compressed.

Key Features

• Handmade and woven with brass, with a warm vintage finish
• Telescopic design that fits cups and teapots of different sizes
• Holds enough leaf for up to 5 cups of tea
• Reusable, cutting down on single-use tea bag waste
• Easy to lift out and rinse clean between brews

Materials

Brass, handwoven.

How to Use

Adjust the basket to your cup or pot, add tea leaves as per your preference, pour hot water over them and wait three to four minutes. Lift the basket out and serve. It suits loose leaf black, green and herbal teas as well as dried herb infusions.

Care Instructions

• Empty and rinse immediately after brewing
• Hand wash only; keep it out of the dishwasher
• Dry completely before storing so the brass does not spot
• Work the telescopic mechanism gently and keep leaf out of the joint

FAQs

What sizes of cup does it fit?

The telescopic body extends and retracts, so one infuser covers most standard cups, mugs and small teapots.

How is it different from the handwoven basket infuser?

The handwoven version is a fixed basket; this one adjusts, which is useful if you brew in more than one vessel.

Can it handle spices and dried herbs?

Yes, it works for herbal infusions and spice blends as well as tea leaf.

Does it make a reasonable gift?

It does, particularly for someone setting up a brewing kit, since it works with almost any teaware they already own.
