Loose leaf tea needs room to open. That is the whole argument for an infuser like this one over a tight little mesh ball: leaves swell to several times their dry size, and the ones packed against a wall never get to.

The mechanism is a stainless steel strainer inside a seated resin monk, and the brewed tea leaves him from the least dignified point available. The joke is doing a lot of work here, but the filter underneath it is a real one.

  • Stainless steel filter, sized for loose leaf rather than dust
  • Resin body around the strainer
  • Drains straight into the cup below
  • Takes whole leaf tea, herbs and dried flowers

Monk shaped loose leaf tea infuser with a steel strainer

Good to know

Fill the chamber loosely, about halfway. A packed infuser gives weak tea because the water cannot get through the middle of the pile, which is the opposite of what people expect from cramming more leaves in.

Care

Empty the leaves while they are still warm and rinse the strainer straight away. Tannin dries into a brown film on steel that no amount of hot water shifts later, and resin and a dishwasher cycle are not friends either. Warm water, soft brush, done.

About us

Welcome to HollowMade. We hunt for the pieces that make a room worth walking into: vessels, lighting and sculpture, picked one at a time and kept on our own shelves.

Chosen, not listed - Every piece is handled and checked before it ships. If it would not earn a place in our own home, it does not make the catalogue.

Fair prices, quietly - We keep the range tight and the margins honest, so a good object costs what it should and reaches your door wherever you are.

A person on the other end - Write to us and someone reads it. Before the order, after the order, either way.
