Many people select tea bags because they are quick, simple, and easy to purchase at the grocery store, But if you prefer something customised, brewing a cup of loose tea leaves using an advanced tea strainer or infuser is easy and more delicious than a bagged tea.
If you are having trouble selecting a tea infuser for yourself, then here’s your lifestyle-first writer addressing you!
Types of tea infusers to select from
Tea Infusers are usually made of stainless steel, and there are a number of variations available.
1. Tea ball infuser
These tea infusers are ideal for single-serving cups of tea. Tea balls are tiny and compact, making them perfect for single-serving cups. Typically, they are constructed of metal or tiny mesh. Tea ball infusers might include lengthy handles or delicate chains that allow the ball to be retrieved when the tea has finished brewing. Tea experts dislike tea balls because they are typically too little to acquire the complete taste profile. If you do use a tea ball, consider one that is oval in form or large enough to enable the leaves to grow.
2. Tea basket infuser
If you ask a tea pundit about their preferred tea infuser, they would unequivocally choose infuser baskets. Tea brewing baskets are large and open, allowing tea leaves to expand with water and release their full potency. In general, the larger the basket, the greater the tea flavour. Simply use the appropriate quantity of leaves and boil at the appropriate water temperature for your selected tea kind.
3. French Press
You don’t need any expensive equipment to make a good cup of tea using a French press. Simply place the tea leaves in the bottom of the French press and fill it with hot water. Place the cover on top and steep for the time specified. Before serving, use the convenient lid to push the leaves to the bottom of the unit. If required, a drip tray can be used to avoid spillage. A French press tea infuser is compact, easy to carry and brews a good amount of tea.
4. Infuser teapot
Infuser teapots are ideal if you drink a lot of tea or are searching for an infuser for a tea party. Teapot tea infusers, like tea cups, have built-in infusers to help with the brewing process. Tea infuser pots are made of many materials such as glass, ceramic, cast iron, clay, and porcelain. Again, for the greatest taste, pick a pot with the biggest tea filter available.
5. Tea infuser with handle
A tea ball infuser with a handle is a handy two-in-one gadget for quick and easy tea brewing. When you squeeze the handle, the ball opens, allowing you to shovel in your tea leaves. When you let go of the handle, the ball glides back together and shuts. You can measure the proper quantity of tea leaves and steep them at the same time by scooping them directly into the tea ball infuser. A similar option is a Push rod tea infuser.
Conclusion
There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to selecting a tea infuser for yourself. You don’t need to be a scientist or a tea aficionado to choose. The most common types are listed above, maybe you can try multiple options and finally choose.
