I love gadgets so when I saw this infuser teacup by Magisso, I had to get one.
The ingenuity of the cup is it doesn't have a flat bottom. Insert the infuser screen, tilt the cup forward to the low end, and add your tea. One for me, and one for the cup.
Pour your hot water over the tea leaves and allow to steep. The is the Portland blend that Alesia gave to me. It suggests letting the tea steep for 3 to 4 minutes. CJ hums the Jeopardy theme. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do do do, dit, do, do, do, do. do. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Dit, do, do, do, do, do, dum.
Tilt the cup to the high end and remove the infuser, You probably can leave the infuser in, but I'm one of those people who don't like to leave the teabag in my cup and drink the tea. So infuser out.
Now the tea is ready to be sweetened. One squirt of liquid Stevia, please. Normally, I would also add a splash of milk, cream, half n half, coconut or almond milk, but this blend has some raspberry in it and I thought the raspberry might curdle the milk. Sip.
While I love the kitty infuser, the Magisso cup is a lot easier to clean. Sometimes it's hard to dig out the sodden tea leaves from the kitty's butt.
This sounds like a great idea for tea drinkers, I love practical gadgets that really work. Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt makes tea for one so easy
DeleteI have never seen an infuser like this one. I looks nice and simple and easy to work. And today with the rain and cooler temperatures (hurrah the humidity is gone) I bet that cup of tea is perfect. I am glad to have a rainy day so I can be lazy, even though the rain is just a excuse because I am probably lazy at least part of most days. Smile. Happy T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThe cup has a nice bowl shape so you can cup your hands around it. That will be nice with the cooler temps. tonight. And it's not lazy. It's recharging your batteries
Delete'Digging out the sodden leaves from the kitty's butt'.... thanks for the laugh! You made my day! :D Hope your cuppa was as good as it looks.
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help :-D And yes, the tea is delicious.
DeleteI've never seen an infuser like this, and I've seen (and had) a few lol. Ingenious! Happy T Tuesday :)
ReplyDeleteI thought it was really clever
DeleteVery cool.
ReplyDeleteMy brother grows his own Stevia.
What a super find - love this cup with the clever infuser! I might just "need" one like this:):) Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteComes in different colors. Got it on Amazon
DeleteWell aren't YOU clever! Nice how you like gadgets, and this one seems to be functional, too. I'm also laughing about the kitty's butt. The images it invokes, especially since both boys are sleeping near me right now (in my air conditioned office). Thanks for sharing your clever and new infuser with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the candles were for the youngest's birthday, not the T party.
Kitty butt. Brings back memories. =^,.^=
DeleteMy bad. Happy Birthday to the youngest.
Ooh! Now, do I hide this from hubby or show him - he is a great lover of loose tea??? (grin!) Happy T day! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteShow him. He needs this :-D
DeleteWhat a clever gadget. I imagined you humming the Jeopardy Theme and laughed. I like that little cat looking over the rim of the cup. Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteThe kitty reflection in the tea is kind of cute, isn't it?
DeleteThat's a great infuser and I had to smile at you singing the Jeopardy theme tune ...lol 😉. Wishing you a happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteHumming the tune. I sing like a hinge 😺
DeleteIt looks a super cup to use and infuse the leaves at the same time, I am grinning at the reference to removing them from the kitty's butt.
ReplyDeleteHappy T day wishes.

It’s a great cup
DeleteHonestly, CJ, you always make me laugh. "It's hard to dig out the sodden tea leaves from the kitty's butt."
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you found a tea infuser to eliminate that nasty task.
Happy T-day! Eileen xx
I’m happy, too 😺
DeleteThanks for sharing this tea infuser-had not seen it either Love these cool little gadgets
ReplyDeleteMa loved all sorts of kitchen gadgets. I think I inherited the gene from her 😺
DeleteGreat invention. Those little mesh tea infusers that get nasty make terrible tea. Will check this out.
ReplyDeleteI thought the cup worked great
DeleteLOL you put it so funny, 'hard to dig out the tea leaves out of kitty's butt!' It just struck my funny bone. :)
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of tea gadgets, and got rid of some of them when we moved and I was trying to downsize. But, they see me coming. I will buy a teapot just because it is turquoise! I think that is one I got rid of . It was glass with a turquoise handle. oh, well. I also, have the tea bags, to put loose tea in. But do I ever use them? Takes too much time. Happy Tea Day!
I never heard of tea bags for loose tea. This cup is easy to use, easy to clean. And it comes in aqua which is light turquoise =^,.^=
DeleteCJ, you always make me laugh! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis gadget does look like a great idea!!
Big Hugs!
It's really wonderful
DeleteWow! I've never seen one like this! How nifty!
ReplyDeleteI did laugh at your way of expressing yourself!
Sorry I'm so late in commenting. Life got in the way (as it does),
Happy belated T-Day,
Lisca
It really is a cool cup. Easy to brew tea and easy to clean. Also has a nice shape to cup your hands around
DeleteMany thanks for sharing this tea infuser, I really enjoyed your post here.
