The Steep Basket — Stainless Steel Loose-Leaf Tea Infuser with Drip-Tray Lid

Loose-leaf tea without the fuss — or the plastic. The Steep Basket sits in any mug or teapot on two stainless handles, gives whole leaves room to unfurl, and lifts out clean when your tea is ready.

Nothing but steel touches your tea. Solid 304 stainless — basket, handles, and lid. No plastic mesh frames, no silicone rim, nothing to leach into hot water.

The lid earns its place. Cap the mug while steeping to hold heat, then flip it into a drip tray so the wet basket never touches your counter.

Deep basket, real infusion. Roomy enough for full-leaf teas to expand properly — better extraction than any cramped tea ball.

Fits what you already own. The extended handles rest across standard mugs, cups, and most teapot openings (basket approx. 3" wide × 3" deep).

Rinse under the tap, tap out the leaves, done. Pairs with any loose-leaf tea — and with the [hero teapot name] for the full plastic-free setup.
