What I liked instantly about Tilevo Tea Infuser is that this set looks really cute and pretty. Unlike most other tea infusers that look robust, this one’s actually cute. And yet, it is sturdy and durable.

It is designed to last longer and has a larger capacity. For you, this would turn into a flavorful cup of tea making your tea time fun and enjoyable.

It comes in different shapes like Monkey, Shark, Squirrel, Elephant, and Platypus. So, you can also give it to someone close to you on his or her birthday.

The unique creative design of this infuser would protect your fingers from burning because of the hot water.

Pros

  • Made with non-toxic and food-grade, 
  • BPA free and FDA approved
  • Preserves and enhance the flavors of the tea
  • Leaves no unpleasant odor 

Cons

  • Takes a longer time to heat.

Here’s another tea infuser from Tilevo that is available in a set of two dinosaur shapes: turquoise and green. It is presented in a cute and beautiful box making it a perfect gift for tea lovers.

It is very easy to use. You just need to fill the bottom half of the Dinosaur infuser with any tea of your choice and brew it. Give the top a gentle push to the bottom and allow it steep as the flavors of the tea leaves get infused into the water. However, it is not suitable for fine ground tea leaves or powdered tea.

Tilevo Dinosaur tea infuser is made with Non-Toxic, food-grade silicone. Its neck is designed to form to your style of cup and hang at the edge of tall cups or stand in the bottom of the cup.

Loose Leaf Tea Infuser offers a set of 2 infusers that are designed to unlock the hidden flavors of the tea leaves. It is marketed as the only tea strainer that offers an advanced ultra-mesh technology. It has been designed after endless iterations of basket sizes and micro-hole positioning before creating an ultra-fine tea strainer for loose leaf.

It can provide you with a strong, flavorful tea brewing experience every time. While most other tea infuser sets are ‘coated’ with 304 stainless steel, Loose Leaf Tea Infuser is solid throughout. This unique design makes it last longer and protects it from rust, warp, and crack.

Another feature of Loose Leaf Tea Infuser worth a mention is its large capacity. It can brew tea enough for a houseful of friends. 

Pros 

  • Made with advanced ultra-mesh technology
  • Solid stainless-steel design
  • Longer lasting 
  • Resistance to dents and cracks
  • Large capacity 

Cons

So, you will be able to enjoy an undisturbed tea drinking experience without being bothered by the mouthful of tea residue.

Pros

  • Sufficient room within the infuser to allow the tea to circulate
  • Made of the food-grade stainless 
  • Rust-resistant and odor-free 

Cons

  • Slightly expensive.

7. Fine Mesh Tea Infuser

Fine Mesh Tea Infuser by TaiRun has a fine and evenly distributed net. You can use it to brew rooibos, green tea, or herbal tea without any debris getting through the mesh to manage. 

Its foldable double handles are designed to address the limitations of the width of your cup. It is just the best size that fits most cups, teapots, and mugs allowing you to brew several servings of your favorite beverage at the same time.

Pros

  • A lid periphery made of silicone 
  • Durable material
