My roommate make so much tea. Tea, all the time, and not with teabags, most of the time, usually with infusers. So much that she has four or five different infusers. They are usually all in rotation at the same time. This house is basically a tea shop. On the bright side, it smells lovely! But if you have ever used a tea infuser, you know that when you take it out of the cup, to stop the drink from over-steeping, the metal is hot, and usually still dripping, and depending on the tea you may want to re-steep your leaves! So you need to leave the infuser with the leaves in it out, somewhere, dripping, presumably. Obviously it cannot go directly on the counter. My roommate’s solution, for all this time, is typically to take the lid of a recylcable, like the top to an empty cream cheese container, and leave these on every surface in the house. I am not opposed to reusing items, saving the planet, and all that, but at a point this just looks awful. Especially when the infuser gets washed, put away, and the little tea stained pieces of trash are all over the place, and I am forbidden from recycling them, because then where can the infuser go? Or a teabag that is too hot to put in a compost bag without melting it? Enter: A set of these little beauties. These have saved our lease. Among a few other unrelated compromises. When the need arises, they are also lovely for sauces and dipping, but more than anything they are used for exactly what I got them for, which is to go under tea baskets. I use one myself to put under my coffee hand-drip for the exact same purpose. They’re pretty, durable, and the perfect size, as well as exceptionally easy to clean. 5 stars thank you
