3. Biskviti Tea Infuser

We’ve seen all kinds of quirky tea infusers. From a mini titanic to manatees that hang off the edge of the cup, now we have a tea infuser that you might accidentally bite into.

The best part about this tea infuser, is that you can leave it in for as long as you like and it won’t become soggy.

Though, the serious tea people will tell you that 6 to 8 minutes is the best steeping duration for optimal tea flavour.
