Tea Ball Tips
by Rachel Johnston

Many people contact us about the "terrible tea ball" dilemma they experience when attempting to utilize one for loose leaf teas. Tea won't fit into the ball, or it gets everywhere, or their tea is bitter (because of too many leaves), the list goes on and on.

The trick with any infuser is that the tea leaves must have room to expand so that the water can permeate them and create a perfect cup of tea each time.

Select your tea ball
You may ask What Size Ball Do You Need?

Use a 1.75" ball for small cup sizes
Use a 2" ball for large cup sizes
Use a 2.5" ball for a small teapot
Use a 3" ball for a large teapot or iced tea pitcher size

Open your infuser
Fill only 1 half with your loose tea.
Snap closed put in your cup or tea pot and add hot water!

Easy as 1, 2, 3

You will probably have some escaping leaves, but it won't be to bad.

As always, if you have questions, please feel free to contact us directly.
