Tea infusers

Scope note

Culinary tools with perforated containers which are filled with tea leaves, or sometimes coffee grounds, then placed within a cup or pot of water to brew the beverage. Prefer "tea balls" for small perforated balls in which tea leaves are placed to be immersed in hot water to make tea. For culinary tools used to catch the loose leaves or grounds as the beverage is poured, use "tea strainers."
