The tea ball is a classic form for tea infusers: using loose leaves instead of tea bags gives you a more balanced, mellow, and complex flavor. Available in small and large, the tea ball contains the loose tea leaves for brewing in a tea pot or right in your cup. The mesh infuser is attached to a chain with a small hook on the end which fastens to the rim. made of high-quality cromargan, 18/10 stainless steel, this material will not affect the flavor of your tea and is easy to clean.
