I was so excited about this, I did a lot of research, and I thought this was the perfect tea infuser for me. I like to use about two teaspoons of loose tea per cup, so I wanted something with a large area for the tea. This would work perfectly, it's at least 3 times larger than my biggest tea ball, but that's where the awesomeness of this item ends.
When mine got here the leaf was already torn. Where the stem is straight, there is a solid wire in it, to assist you in pulling the "dirt" out of the pot. That wire had poked through and torn the stem. It's unfixable. Also when I tried to pull it out, the entire stem/leaf portion, basically all that's green, popped out of the dirt, and I had a really difficult time putting it back. Once I did get it back, it wouldn't stay seated in the dirt. It's a circular problem. The dirt fits really tightly into the pot portion, which is great, until it becomes time to get it out. I have a feeling that if it had held together that when I actually went to use it, it would have made tea leaves go everywhere, making a huge mess.
Luckily Amazon has pretty easy returns. This one is going back. I'll be on the lookout for a new tea infuser. It's just so difficult to find ones that hold large amounts of tea!

This is big enough for 3+ tablespoons of loose leaves (I tried to packed 4 tbsps in but it's probably too full). Anyway, I think it is very cute(looks like a little plant growing in you cup), functional and easy to clean. The price is a little bit high as a tea infuser but I think it's worth it as a treat. I wish it comes with a bottom dish or a little something to hold the used infuser though.
The cap doesn't have any locking systems or threads to secure it, but it seems to be tight enough to hold the bottom in place yet not too hard to take the top off for filling. It's working great now but I can't say how durable it is for long run. I'm not using it everyday so I don't how long will it hold up.
Bottom line, It is a good gift for tea lovers.

I bought one of these for myself (to test) and then a few more as gifts. Overall, this makes a great gift for any tea lover who likes to mix their own blends. It's very aesthetically pleasing and appears reasonably durable too.
Pros:
-It looks great sitting in a cup
-Very large: holds a few table spoons if you want to brew a full pot
-Handles going through the dish washer like a champ
-None of the blends I use escape the filter (but I haven't tried anything very fine)
Cons:
-Can sometimes be difficult to open when hot (best let it cool off)

Broke within first use
I love this infuser because it looks so cute, However, within my first use, the stem of the leave broke on the underside of the soil part.

the green stem pulls out of the top when you try to remove the lid.
After brewing tea, if you pull on the green stem to lift the lid to remove the used tea leaves, the stem pulls out of the brown rubber top. Read more

Good product
My daughter and her friends have been experiencing with loose tea and thought this was a cute infuser. The holes are too large to use with fine teas. Read more

The rubber stopper is hard to get out
I have to agree with others that the rubber "leaftop and soil" topper is hard to get off. Pulling from the leaf, as is suggested in the instructions pulls the leaf out and... Read more

Meh
It looks super cool and i got decent tea out of it. Unfortunately tea escapes from the top super easily so you get chunky tea water which is kinda annoying.

Looks great, but not too practical
I bought this optimistically, and it worked pretty well for about a month or two, until the stem broke off. Read more

Not great for fine loose-leaf; still cute & usable.
You have to sort of use your fingernail to ease the brown top cover off--it's not a twist-off type of top, and if you try pulling it off by the stem the stem will pull off... Read more

cute, but.....
It was really hard to take the top off, the leaf part of it would just come off.
It was harder to pull the top off when it was hot.

Stem came broken
Got this for a gift and when the giftee received it, she showed me that the stem was broken and hanging by a thread. Other than that, good design. Stylish and functional.
