How to Use the SIP’OPOTAMUS Tea Infuser
- Fill with loose leaf tea: Open the infuser and add your preferred loose leaf tea. Avoid overfilling so the leaves have room to expand and infuse properly.
- Steep in hot water: Place the filled infuser into your cup or mug and pour hot water over it. Let it steep for the recommended time for your tea type.
- Remove and enjoy: Once steeped, lift the infuser out of the cup. The silicone is heat-resistant enough for short contact, but let it cool slightly before handling. Enjoy your tea.
Cleaning and Care
The SIP’OPOTAMUS is dishwasher-safe, making cleanup effortless. It can also be microwaved if you need to reheat water, though it's best used for steeping. Hand washing with mild soap is fine too. The food-grade, BPA-free silicone holds up well to repeated use.
Honest Trade-Offs to Consider
The SIP’OPOTAMUS is designed for a single cup of tea — not a teapot. If you brew for multiple people, you'll need to repeat the process. Also, because it's a novelty shape, the opening is smaller than some other infusers, so larger-leaf teas may need a bit of coaxing to fit. On the plus side, its cute design makes it a fun conversation starter and a great gift for tea lovers who appreciate whimsy.
