A stainless steel tea infuser shaped as a double flower, with a matching cradle to rest it on between steeps. Available in gold or silver. Built for loose whole flowers and leaf tea — including blue lotus, which is bulkier than most teas and clogs finer baskets.

Why a cradle matters
Most infusers leave you holding a dripping basket with nowhere to put it. The cradle catches it, which keeps the counter clean and lets you steep a second cup from the same flowers — worth doing with blue lotus, which gives up more on a second pass than most people expect.
Reusable, which is the point
One infuser replaces every tea bag you would otherwise buy and throw away. It works out cheaper and it produces no waste. Loose tea also tends to be better tea: whole leaf and whole flower rather than the dust and fannings that fill most bags.
How to use it
Open the two halves, add loose tea or whole flowers — about one to two teaspoons of leaf, or one to two whole blue lotus flowers — close it, and lower it into your cup. Steep, lift, and rest it on the cradle. Rinse under the tap or run it through the dishwasher.
Don't pack it tight. Leaves and petals need room to open, and a crowded basket steeps unevenly.
Common questions
What size cups does it fit?
Most standard cups and mugs. It is 18 cm including the chain, so it hangs into the cup rather than sitting on the rim.
Is the cradle included?
Yes, and it matches the finish you choose.
Gold or silver — any difference beyond looks?
No. Same steel, same mesh, same dimensions.
Will it hold fine tea without leaking particles?
Yes. The mesh is ultra-fine. Very powdery teas will always pass some through, as they do with any infuser.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes.
Does it work for blue lotus?
That is what we designed the pairing around. Whole flowers need room, and this has it. It's also available as a gift set with the tea.
