# The Convenience of Tea Infusers
A tea infuser is a simple yet essential tool for tea lovers, designed to hold loose tea leaves while steeping in hot water. These handy devices come in various shapes and sizes, from classic mesh balls to innovative silicone designs, making it easy to brew the perfect cup without loose leaves floating in your drink.
## Types of Tea Infusers
1. Mesh Ball Infusers – Traditional and affordable, with fine holes to prevent leaf escape.
2. Silicone Infusers – Fun, heat-resistant designs (like animals or shapes) that sit on cup rims.
3. Basket Infusers – Spacious stainless steel baskets for better leaf expansion and flavor.
4. Travel Infusers – Portable, often double-walled, for brewing on the go.
## Why Use One?
