What is the function of a tea infuser?

The main function of a tea infuser is to separate the herbs from the hot water. This separation is done through a tea filter or strainer, which we call an “infuser”, allowing the transfer of the properties and characteristics of the herbs to the water without direct contact. 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 thermoses. In practice, a tea infuser provides the same result as a tea bag. The difference lies in the choice of material, the size of the tea accessory and the characteristics of the herb or herbs used in the infusion.

At Mercado do Chá, the most popular infusers are made of stainless steel and silicone. This common choice is due to the resistance of these materials, making them more durable and a better economic option. They are also an excellent sustainable choice, contributing to home composting of herbs. These two types of materials are the most requested for preparing loose-leaf teas, as they promote tea or infusion quality. Therefore, you will usually not notice any odor or taste coming from the infuser material. If you prefer a stainless-steel infuser, choose one with fewer holes or small holes to prevent ingredients from escaping into the water during infusion.
