This tea infuser is a smart solution for an individual cupof tea. With the built in scoop, it allows the user to accurately measure thedesired loose leaf tea. While brewing ina cup the infuser will not sink. Once removed from the cup it can be placed directlyon the table without a mess. Instead of dripping onto the counter, the liquidis captured by a hollow cavity in the foot of the infuser. Simple tea drinkingat its best.
