{"product_id":"peezen","title":"Novelty Monk Tea Infuser with Steel Strainer","description":"\u003cp\u003eLoose 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel filter, sized for loose leaf rather than dust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResin body around the strainer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrains straight into the cup below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes whole leaf tea, herbs and dried flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/2778\/9905\/files\/hm-fb9186d27ba5.png?v=1786963997\u0026amp;width=1000\" alt=\"Monk shaped loose leaf tea infuser with a steel strainer\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFill the chamber loosely, about halfway.

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.
