Fun Tea Infusers – start your morning with a smile
It’s been a while since I had tea from a tea bag. I graduated to loose leaf tea after noticing how much more natural and aromatic it smelt and tasted. I’m not knocking tea bags, which are amazing for their convenience and ease. I just personally prefer loose leaf tea – especially a particularly potent blend of Earl Grey.
That said, as my little tea pot for one does not come with a built-in strainer, I have taken to using a plastic sieve (not the best option really).
And then I googled and found all these cute amazing options. Now you don’t even need a tea pot for loose leaf tea any more.
Plus, most of these would probably put a smile on your face in the morning – what a great way to start the day.
