Ringtons Tea & Coffee

Love this product, and my wife and I are just about to order one for our daughter-in-law, who is Egyptian. She was fascinated by it. Its a pity there wasn't a users forum for this product somewhere - we love it (Posted on 21/02/2011)

We recently gave the Teafuser starter pack to a French friend who was absolutely delighted with it and is now converted to using loose tea! English friends of ours have been equally delighted to receive one.
We use Kenyan Gold teabags on an everyday basis but have been using our teafuser for more than two years for specialist teas and find it extremely easy to use and very efficient. All our friends are impressed when they see it in use. (Posted on 19/02/2011)

It might be plastic but it is inexpensive and works a treat.
I received mine as a gift from my daughter and it will be very much used and appreciated.
Used with your Organic China Green Sencha, it provides the perfect cuppa!
In short, an excellent product. (Posted on 01/02/2011)

Does it sit on top of the teapot? (Posted on 28/09/2010)

a great idea. it came this morning and i had to contain myself. great for white tea. (Posted on 27/07/2010)

I'm drinking my third cup of tea made with this infuser (it arrived this morning- what can I say, I'm a tea addict), and I'm absolutely hooked.
The infuser and coaster are made of solid clear plastic, and the filter is made of a very fine metal mesh. It comes with instructions (which aren't particularly difficult but you should check them before use).
It's very easy to use, and nearly as easy to clean (I handwash everything anyway, so it doesn't bother me. The one thing that is slightly difficult is getting the suds out of the bottom, between the place where the filter is put and where the water out of the bottom, but running clean water through by pressing the bottom a few times fixes that)
Making the tea is also straightforward. Not too much mess, pretty hard to miss with the tea leaves. For a mug's worth of tea (I use the cheapest Marks and Spencer mug) you fill up about 3/4 of it (halfway up the logo) for a perfect amount (about a quarter of an inch from the top, plenty of room for milk). It lets the tea move around (although with small leaves it isn't very exciting) and it tastes much better than with a standard individual infuser. For the tea I've tried it takes about 5 minutes to stew (I like my tea strong, they recommend 3-5 with most tea and I think that's right).
I can't say enough good things about this so far. (Posted on 22/07/2010)

Great little tea infuser this. Innovation where previously there was just tradition! A few very minor issues:
1. You need to get used to a slow pour to start as otherwise air can get trapped below the straining mesh and 'burst' the strainer out. This can be hazardous if tea leaves get lodged in the valve and prevent it from closing, allowing hot tea out, uncontrollably. This has happened to me, but shouldnt ever be a problem as you'll always have a cup handy.
2. Expect some tannin discolouration if you are not religious with handwashing. And damage to the mesh if you dishwash regularly.
3. Do not let visitors use it without a demo or explanation!
4. How do I make tea for 4? (Maybe a new product idea?) (Posted on 28/11/2009)
