Tea tastes better when it stays in the cup and off your fingers. This polished 304 stainless shell holds loose leaves, dried flowers or herbs and clips over any cup rim. Steep, lift it out, and your tea ritual stays tidy from first pour to last.
A decorative scallop-shell tea infuser in 304 stainless steel that hangs over any cup
- loose tea leaves floating in the cup
- messy hands when removing used leaves
- need for a separate strainer for flowers and herbs
Loose tea that stays in the cup, not on your fingers
A polished 304 stainless shell holds your leaves, buds or herbs and clips over the rim of any cup. Steep, lift it out, and every sip stays clean from the first pour to the last.
Built for loose leaf, not for tea bags
- Load it wide open
Pinch the spring handle and the shell opens far enough to drop in loose leaves or dried jasmine and rose buds without spilling them across the counter. Close it and the buds stay put while the water works through.
- Fine holes, full flavor
The shell is perforated all over, so hot water reaches the leaves from every side. It handles dried flowers and herbs as well as broken leaf tea, and the 304 steel rinses clean under the tap.
- Hangs over the rim, lifts out clean
The clip hooks over the edge of any cup and the looped handle tail keeps the shell suspended in the water. When the steep is done, lift the handle and the used leaves come with it, so nothing settles at the bottom of the cup.
Brew it in four moves
- 1Open the shell
Pinch the clamp handle and the scallop shell opens along its hinge.
- 2Add your leaves
Fill the basket with loose tea, dried flowers or herbs, then close the shell over them.
- 3Clip it on the rim
Hang the shell over the edge of your cup so the basket sits in the water and the handle tail rests inside.
- 4Steep and lift
Pour hot water over the leaves and let them steep. Lift the handle out when the cup is strong enough, then rest the shell on a saucer to drain.
Compact enough for a single cup

Questions and answers
Yes. The clip hooks over the cup edge and the handle tail rests inside, so the shell hangs in the water instead of sliding in. Fill it with a normal pinch of leaves rather than packing it full and it hangs steady on any cup.
It holds a generous pinch of loose leaf, a few spoonfuls of dried flowers, or a handful of herbs. Fill it loosely so the leaves can open. Jasmine and rose buds expand as they steep, so leave some room at the top of the shell.
Yes. Stainless steel does not soak up scent the way wood or plastic does. Tip out the spent petals, rinse the shell under warm water and let it dry with the clamp open so no moisture gets trapped in the hinge.
It replaces the separate strainer you would otherwise use for flowers and herbs. The shell hangs over the cup, so you never fish soggy leaves out with a spoon. 304 stainless is a durable material, and a single well-made tool for every loose blend is the easier way to keep a tea rack tidy.
Both. It works with loose tea, dried flowers, herbal blends and spices. The shell is sized for a single cup, so it suits daily brewing at home, at a desk or when you have guests over.
