Tea Infuser of the Week


One of my dad's deep passions is collecting (and occasionally using) kitchen gadgetry--it's the engineer in him. Somehow I'm disenchanted by the idea of using lots of non-vital things to cook that you then have to clean. I've often laughed over this passion with my family, but recently I get the feeling that my own gadgetry gene is expressing itself. And the phenotype is obviously tea related. This post is the first in a new series featured on Dynastea--tea infuser of the week!

This week's infuser: the Tea Rex
The Tea Rex gets bonus points for being simultaneously punny and dinosaur-related. (In most cases, there are too many syllables for this to be pulled off correctly.) This little guy is good for fairly large-leaved loose tea for a single, regular-sized cup brew at a time.

(What people are saying)
Pros: Looks awesome. Does the job well. Available in a larger size for bigger brews.
Cons: The infusion holes are pretty big, so they sometimes allow smaller leaf teas through. The kooky shape makes it a bit tricky to get leaves in, and considerably tough to get them all out.
