What is the function of a tea infuser?

The tea infuser's main function is to separate the herb from the hot water. This separation is done using a filter or tea strainer that we call an “infuser”, which promotes the transfer of the herb properties to the water, without exactly having direct contact between them. Besides being easy to use, the tea infuser adapts to any type of tea or infusion and tea accessory and can be used in cups, glasses, or tea mugs. In practice, a tea infuser has the same result as a tea bag. The difference is in the choice of material, the size of the tea accessory, and the characteristics of the herb or herbs that you will use in the infusion.

The most popular infusers are stainless steel and silicone material. This common choice is due to the strength of the materials which makes them more durable. This is an economic advantage. These two types of materials are the most requested in the preparation of loose teas since they promote the quality of the tea or infusion. Therefore, you will usually not smell or taste anything from the infuser material. If you are a fan of stainless steel infusers, prefer them with fewer or small holes so that no ingredients leak into the water during brewing.
