Tea Steeper Hippo Silicone Tea Filter

Ideally, you use a tea steeper to infuse water with tea. The main purpose of using a tea steeper is so that the loose tea leaves are filtered and only the extract mixes with your drink. This tea steeper, unlike other tea steepers, is very unique. It has a fun Hippo design. The infuser is at the bottom part of the Hippo. So when you use it on your mug or tumbler, the Hippo looks like it is clinging on the brim of your mug while the lower half of it is submerged in water. You will place the loose tea leaves inside this Hippo tea steeper. After you add enough leaves, submerge the lower half of the steeper in hot water. Remember to keep track of the time that you are steeping tea into the water as over-steeping causes bitterness.
