This tea infuser is a brewing ball for loose-leaf tea with a charm shaped like a smiling slice of toast. The ball is made of metal mesh: hot water passes through it while the leaves stay inside. A chain links the ball to the toast, which stays in view while the tea brews and brings a little breakfast humour to the cup.

The toast slice tea infuser is made for anyone who prefers loose leaves to tea bags and likes kitchen kit with a sense of fun. It comes from the autumn/winter 2026 collection and is small enough for a birthday present or a Secret Santa gift. If cats appeal more than breakfast, the same infuser also exists with a cat charm.

The infuser has three visible parts: the round mesh ball, a chain and the charm shaped like a slice of toast with a smiling face. At 4 x 4 x 4 cm, the whole thing is about the size of a table tennis ball. The material is 304 stainless steel, a chrome-nickel steel widely used in kitchens.

  • Tea infuser for loose-leaf tea, 304 stainless steel
  • Round strainer ball in metal mesh
  • Charm shaped like a smiling slice of toast
  • Chain between the mesh ball and the charm
  • Measures 4 x 4 x 4 cm

Put the amount of loose tea you want into the mesh ball and hang it in a cup or pot. Give the leaves some room: they swell in hot water and release their flavour more evenly when they can move. The charm on the other end of the chain stays visible, so you can find the chain again once the brew turns dark.

When the brewing time is up, lift the infuser out and empty the leaves. Damp leaves come away from mesh more easily than dried ones.

The infuser suits tea drinkers who enjoy loose leaves and would rather not tear open a bag every time. In a shared kitchen you will spot your own pot more easily with a slice of toast dangling from it.

As a present it is simple: it takes up little space, needs no size chart and works for birthdays, Christmas or Secret Santa. For hosts, housemates or colleagues it is a small gift that gets used rather than put away.

Measure the tea on the modest side and taste it halfway through. With loose leaves you control the strength through time, and the guidance is usually printed on the tea packet: green tea steeps briefly, a robust black tea for longer.

For gifting, add a packet of loose tea so the little set can be used straight away. If two tea drinkers share a household, the toast version and the cat version pair up nicely.
