Teapots with infusers

Teapot with Infuser

A teapot with an infuser is a teapot device in which loose tea leaves are placed for steeping, it is often called a teaball or tea maker, and sometimes a tea egg. The tea infuser gained popularity in first half the 19th century. By the time of Queen Victoria no respectable British household would be without one. Tea pots with infusers enable one to easily brew fannings and broken leaf teas.

A teapot with infuser performs the same function as a tea bag. The infuser is generally a small mesh or perforated metal container or covered spoon that holds tea leaves, in varying sizes to brew single or multiple servings at once. Common shapes for teapot infusers include spherical, conical and cylindrical. One style of teapot infuser is a split sphere with tong-like handles to open its mesh container.

A Teapot with  Infuser is the perfect way to enjoy the great tastes and health benefits of drinking tea. Whether you choose a beautiful ornate silver model teapot with infuser, or just a simple teapot ball style  one, allowing the water to infuse properly with your tea of choice will release the flavours better and drinking tea, especially green tea is said to have many health benefits, and they are better with fresh loose tea than bags. If you are short on time but want all the benefits then you should try a Tea Infuser Mug or one of the integrated Teapot Infusers that allow you to make single servings of freshly brewed tea with the minimum of fuss and mess.
