How does a tea infuser work?
They're simple to use; all you need to do is fill the infuser with your desired tea, typically each infuser can hold a single person amount of tea but you can get larger ones if steeping for a few of you at tea-time; here at BRUU HQ, there is a few of us when it comes to tea time so we have a larger infuser to cater for us all at one time.
Tea infusers are great as they prevent loose tea from entering your cup of tea; after all you don't want to be savouring your tea with leaves circulating your cup! Small holes all around the infuser help the tea to submerge in hot water and steep all the flavoursome good-ness out with debris. Infusers are incredibly easy to use and discard of; they usually have a handle or chain for you to hold when choosing the right time to take out of your teapot.
It is important to double check how long to steep your desired tea; each tea has a differing steeping time so make sure you don't fall at the last hurdle and over-steep your blend!
