It’s not easy being a tea drinker. We’re used to walking into a coffee shop and selecting one of maybe three options, or (true story) having to explain to a barista why simply dropping a tea bag into a cup of ice water does not make iced tea. And at work, where it’s common to find a单人舱咖啡机at-the-ready, tea lovers often bring their own from home.

没有茶壶,那些喜欢使用全味的松散茶叶而不是茶袋的人需要一个内木落的茶浸泡器才能固定咖啡因。但是,正如对多年非正式审判和错误的人可以证明的那样,很难找到好的。

Fred & Friends Manatea Tea Infuser

没有人能像我在我们的头上找到愚蠢的弗雷德和朋友茶注射器那样震惊。我已经在礼品店经过了多年,以为它的可爱的名字和可爱的海牛形式使它失去了优质的茶漏斗的资格。我站立了。

设计,挂的鼓吹者rim to look like a manatee poking its head out of the ocean, is wonderfully functional. Even when tipping the mug more than 90 degrees to get the last few drops of tea, the Manatea holds on tight, eliminating the need for a separate dish to catch drips. And while that means you may keep it in the mug longer than other infusers, as you sip, and the water level decreases, steeping stops. (That being said, make sure you initially fill your mug to cover all of the infuser’s holes—you’ll see it start working immediately.)

Made of silicone, the Manatea is easy to clean, and leaves don’t escape or get stuck in the holes. The one downside is that when leaves expand in its narrow body, they need a little extra help being removed (I used my finger), but then they generally come out in one relatively clean clump.

很棒的礼物?绝对(尤其是因为它是我们测试的最便宜的产品)。但这是一个茶浸不可知的人,甚至狂热的饮酒者都应该为自己购买。

Pros

  • Grips strongly to the side of a mug

  • Easy to clean

  • Steeps evenly

Cons

  • Some leaves can get stuck inside

Yoassi stainless steel tea infuser

Best for Large Mugs
Yoassi Extra Fine 18/8不锈钢茶注射器

Whether it’s raining outside, or you need a giant cup of tea to kick-start your morning, there are some days that just call for an oversized mug. And on those days, we recommend you reach for the Yoassi. A more traditional stainless steel tea infuser, the Yoassi offers a large basket to hold enough tea leaves to flavor even the biggest mug of hot water—or to allow for an extra-strong cup for that boost of caffeine.

The Yoassi’s arms are wide enough to easily fit across our 16-ounce testing mug, and could likely work on one with an even bigger mouth. Tea steeps quickly and evenly without needing much prodding. And when the tea is steeped to your liking, the Yoassi’s dish (which fits snugly as a lid when not in use) can hold your dripping infuser until you’re ready to clean it or make a second cup with the leaves. Just be careful when you’re removing it—the metal arms get surprisingly hot to the touch after steeping.

And speaking of cleaning, the Yoassi is about as straight-forward as tea infusers come. Leaves come out easily and the mouth is wide enough to fit a sponge when washing by hand. If the Yoassi were a bit smaller to use with more standard mugs, we might have named this our top pick, but instead we’ll enjoy breaking it out on those days when we need a little something extra.

Pros

  • Steeps tea evenly

  • Easy to clean

  • Fits a variety of mugs

Cons

  • Metal arms get hot to the touch

HIC Snap Ball Tea Infuser的产品图像
HIC快照球茶注射器

全面披露:我在自己的一生中使用了多年的Harold Import Co.茶漏?我一直在使用它愉快的时光 - 它足够小,可以适合任何杯子,并且可以快速,均匀地分散茶。(一个小障碍:即使是一小叶子在球的两半之间,其他叶子也可以偷偷溜走。)但是我仍然很好奇,看到它如何站在我们测试过的其他茶水中。

只要我能记得,我的磨损看起来都会更糟,它的磨损是微妙的不锈钢网眼,从我认为的洗涤太多。但是,在我用于测试的新新用途仅两次用途之后,网格已经略微凹陷。就浸泡而言,这并不能阻碍性能,但有点令人失望。

也就是说,对于任何寻找简单的茶液液的人来说,这是一个可靠的选择,可以清洁。只需挤压打开铰链,看着所有叶子掉入垃圾中。只要小心擦洗即可。

Pros

  • Disperses tea quickly and evenly

  • Easy to empty leaves

  • Easy to store

Cons

  • 网眼细腻,容易凹痕

Product image of OXO Brew Twisting Tea Ball
OXO Brew Twisting Tea Ball

I was immediately intrigued by the functionality of the OXO Good Grips tea infuser, twisting the end of the handle and watching the ball open and close with a satisfying heft. In practice, however, this proved to be the most frustrating part of the experience.

This is not to say the twisting itself doesn’t work—it certainly does—but the movement actually traps tea leaves between its two halves, making cleaning a pain. This design also made this infuser the only one that actually let whole leaves escape, likely from being caught in between the mini cups while they were in the open position. During one test, enough leaves floated to the top that I stopped drinking it altogether.

也就是说,如果你特别彻底的智慧h your cleaning, this may not be a bad choice. I enjoyed how little space it occupied in the mug, and, since I have a tendency to leave my tea steeping as I drink, the fact that I could still sip easily around it. Also, for all its moving parts, it felt sturdy and well-made.

Pros

  • 感觉坚固耐用

Cons

  • Allows leaves to escape

  • 清洁过程中扭曲的陷阱叶

Chefast Tea Infuser套装的产品图像
Chefast Tea Infuser Set

我最喜欢的Chefast Tea Infuser的部分(带有一个大型和两个小型注入器的套装)是包含在内的组合勺/袋夹。尽管不是任何测试标准的一部分,但该勺在整个测试中都派上用场,以将茶铲入我们所有的注入者,并且是同事们经过的一篇文章,即使在共享硅胶恐龙和墨西哥公司的同时也是如此。

话虽如此,我对使用Chefast Infuser本身并不感到兴奋。我用大杯子进行了测试,所以我选择了大型注入器。虽然它喝了大量的茶,并防止叶子进入水中,但花了一段时间(在我的尽头上下倾斜)才能使它变得足够陡峭。

在设计方面,来自盖子的链条大约是所需的长度的两倍,使另一端的钩子毫无用处。然后将盖子单击到篮子里并不像我希望的那样坚固,这让我想知道这在许多用途上会多么耐用。

Sold separately, I’d purchase the bag clip scoop in an instant. But as a tea infuser alone? There are better ones out there.

Pros

  • Included scoop/clip is handy

Cons

  • Takes a while to steep

  • Feels cheaply made

  • Chain isn't functional

Forlife Brew-in-Mug Extra-fine Tea Infuser with Lid

The Forlife tea infuser was one of the more frustrating to use. Unlike the Yoassi (and most other similar-looking tea infusers on the market), the Forlife infuser only has one arm to hold it atop the mug, leaving you to balance a much thinner lip on the other side. Move it just so and that side falls into the water. While it never let any leaves escape, it seemed like such an unnecessary problem to have. I even tried it in a smaller mug, but at that point, it stood too tall to fit properly.

On the plus side, when the infuser is balancing properly, it works well to disperse tea throughout and contain leaves—and it comes with a dish to catch drips upon removal. It’s also large enough to fit a sponge into fairly easily for cleaning (even if leaves did get more stuck in the holes than I would’ve liked). But for being the most expensive tea infuser we tested, it was a let down.

Pros

  • Contains leaves well

  • Easy to clean

Cons

  • 经常掉入水中

Manatea tea infuser

We had as much fun playing with the Manatea tea infuser as we did testing.

我们如何测试ed

For this particular assignment, we only focused on personal-sized in-mug infusers as opposed to those that can be used in larger tea pots or travel mugs, both of which oftentimes have built-in infusers. We used the same amount (2 teaspoons) of the sameorganic assam black teain the same16-ounce mugfor all testing, noting how quickly and evenly the tea steeped without our intervention and how easy it was to remove leaves after use and hand-wash (since many homes and offices don’t have dishwashers available, even if the infuser itself is dishwasher-safe).

Since portability is more of a factor with in-mug tea infusers than their teapot counterparts, I also tested how convenient it was to go about my workday, carrying them from my desk to various conference rooms and back again. Did they have a dish to catch water upon removal, or did I have to grab paper towels (or just keep steeping and deal with a super-strong brew)? Trust that in drinking enough tea to keep me up with late-night jitters on more than one occasion, I put each of the infusers through the ringer.

What You Should Know About Tea Infusers

What is a Tea Infuser?

Typically made of either stainless steel or silicone, a tea infuser holds loose leaves of tea, keeping them from floating around the hot water in your mug or teapot while you brew. Dating back to the circa-760 A.D. Tang dynasty in China, tea infusers were first usedto keep bugs out of Buddhist monks’ cupsbefore 17th-century Dutch merchants began using them to keep leaves contained. The 19th century sawthe most widespread adoption,尤其是在欧洲,那里经常用银制成。

将茶注射器视为具有与标准茶袋相同的基本功能,但使用后未丢弃茶液。与传统的茶包相比,茶叶液还为叶子提供了更多的膨胀空间,这可能意味着更强的风味。而且,由于茶漏器的尺寸供单人使用,因此用户可以将自己的杯子浸入个人偏好中,以使小组不允许为小组制作一锅茶。茶水从未如此简单。

How Do You Use a Tea Infuser?

While exact instructions may vary by infuser and type of tea, most tea infusers are used in the same way. Fill the infuser with 1 to 2 teaspoons of the dry tea leaves and place it in the mug. Pour hot water (exact temperature depends on the type of tea) over the infuser and let the leaves steep for the designated amount of time, typically 3 to 5 minutes, before removing.

当您等待茶浸泡或去除茶时,一些茶液通过了一些浸入或旋转而受益,以确保茶在整个杯子中均匀分布。

The more leaves you use and the longer you steep, the stronger the tea will taste. Half the fun of drinking tea is discovering your personal preferences so you can enjoy sipping something made just for you.
