Product description
The OXO Twisting Tea Ball combines loading and infusing in one handheld tool. Open the ball, scoop your loose tea, then twist the end of the handle to close it before steeping. Its long neck is helpful when you want to remove the infuser without fishing a short chain out of the cup.
Consider both cup depth and the tea you usually brew. The ball needs room to sit in the water, and expanding leaves need space inside it. For fine tea particles or blends that swell substantially, a larger basket-style infuser may be worth comparing. Brew time and water temperature should follow the tea’s instructions rather than a universal setting.
Why choose this model
Convenient for a daily cup
The long handled format keeps loading and lifting straightforward when preparing loose tea at your desk or kitchen counter.
