Product Description

The arta Tea Infuser plus Saucer is a playful approach to steeping loose-leaf tea. Add new meaning to the term "tea party;" this set is entertaining and the perfect replacement for traditional bags and baskets. The arta Tea Infuser plus Saucer is impressive both in its novelty and functionality. Simply fill the micro-perforated stainless steel pod with tea and turn the ceramic saucer upside down, over a cup of tea. The branch keeps the pod fully submerged for thorough steeping, while the saucer traps heat, keeping the tea warm. Tea pod pops off of branch for filling and cleaning. Holds up to 2 teaspoons of loose-leaf tea. Top-rack dishwasher safe. Part of the Cafe collection by arta. At the root of coffee and tea is comfort. Comfort while waking up.

5.0 out of 5 stars I cant say enough about this little guy September 17, 2011

I love my tea infuser! Its a lid for steeping the tea, it contains the drips coming from the tea ball, after the tea is made. Its size is perfect for a cup of tea. But best of all I can leave it setting out like a decoration making it easy to use. So many times I buy cute little things like this and end up packing them in a cupboard where there hard to access and then I wont use them. With this just setting out its easy to get to and use. I highly recommend this tea infuser.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's pretty Meh. January 3, 2012

I bought this for use at work. I thought it would both look nice on my book case and keep me from dripping tea on my desk. At least it looks nice.

I've gotten a few compliments and it has been a great way to find out who drinks tea around the office. It also does a nice job at keeping my tea hot until I'm ready to drink. It is easy to clean

The list of negative points. It drips when you remove it from the cup and flip it over. And the holes in the tea ball are rather large and allow finer teas to escape. The fit of the plastic leaf section of the tea ball is poor. I feel this level of function and workmanship is not worth the high price tag.

I would not buy this again or recommend it to a friend. In fact, I plant to purchase some type of disposable tea bags for my loose tea.

no complaints here, it's cute and functions with or without the base. I wish it self-cleaned itself though but oh well!
