Fred DEEP TEA DIVER Silicone Tea Infuser

It was kind of expensive but it was so cute I had to get it. I was a bit surprised by how small it is since there was no dimensions listed under the info about the product. It is meant for one cup of tea and I was looking for something for a pot of tea. I suppose it would do well for a single serving pot of tea but I usually brew 4 cups because I drink a lot! Even though its small a lot of tea fits in there; but don't over fill or the tea leaves wont have enough room to fully expand. Maybe its because its so cute but I could swear my tea tastes better when using the diver as opposed to the regular metal mesh ball. I wish there was a way to prevent this but even this diver is subject to tea stains. So I suspect it'll be brownish soon. Oh, also the opening is at the feet. Be very careful about where you set them to dry. I air dry mine in the little basket in the dishwasher but once his little feet somehow slipped and disappeared into the garbage disposal for almost a week! I was devastated, and I wasn't looking forward to buying another one. Thankfully I found out, so just beware because its clear and tiny so it can easily be lost.

I first noticed this infuser through a blog post several months ago. I saw this thing and I knew I HAD to have it. It was too adorable. However, I wasn't too sure about buying this seeing as there were no customer reviews at the time. However, as soon as a few reviews came up, the vote seemed unanimous: this guy is awesome. So I bought him. I am an avid tea drinker and I have about 1-3 cups a day. I use this little guy all the time and I have not had one single problem with him. He (I named him Desmond for kicks) is not too porous, so the smaller pieces of the tea don't get inside my cup. Also, he is easy to clean, and he just looks really cool. I have been recommending this to all of my friends who need new infusers and I strongly urge anyone who is looking for a fun and convenient tea infuser to buy this guy. He's a bit pricey-er than other tea infusers, but he never fails to amuse me every morning. So, get him if you are looking for a long lasting tea infuser that can bring a smile to your face every time you use him!

If you like your teas light, this is a great infuser for you. However, strong tea drinkers may want to reconsider purchasing. The holes are in the front and back of his body, as well as the back of his head. They're excellent for separating small loose tea and water, but there is not enough. Therefore, creates a light tea. I'm use to a steel tea infuser that is covered with small holes front and back. I'm considering adding a bit more holes. The silicone material is resistent to heat and holds its structure well. I've kept the infuser in my Thermos Sipp for about 1-2 hours numerous times at work (it doesn't taste bitter :D). The material does not stain immediately, but overtime it may. It's a bit difficult to take out the leaves by dumping it or tapping against the trash. TIP: face the him feet down, feet off (open the infuser) and run water through the holes in the back of his head. The water will filter the excess tea leaves out of his cute body. TIP: Make sure his body is thoroughly clean after each use. The silicone material adheres to the previous tea if it's just rinsed with water. This is such a cute tea infuser and great conversational piece nonetheless! Makes a great gift or stocking stuffer during the holidays.

I had such high hopes for this little guy, but I only used him a few times and then bought a new infuser. The tea gets stuck inside the scuba suit and you have to dig into him to get it out. He floats so much that the water doesn't really get the chance to get to the tea. The tea goes cold before it fully brews. His holes are so small, which is great because I don't have a lot of leaves in my tea, but bad because it's hard to brew the tea. I still like the look of him, but I think his looks are more appealing than actually using him. I would not buy him again.

This product has great packaging that really speaks to anybody that loves to have fun with their tea. It's well designed and well crafted and works very well. Most other infusers forget to take account for teas that have very small leaves, but the deep tea diver is able to keep small teas leaves separate from the water. Get this fantastic product immediately, people! Great gift for tea lovers and ice breakers for a topic of conversation.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. He loves tea and he drinks a LOT of it. This is much cheaper in the long run than constantly buying tea bags (which we can no longer find for loose tea). This little guy is adorable, great for playing with just regularly, and has been a bright point for my boyfriend and myself. My boyfriend got me drinking more tea and found a loose leaf one I really enjoy so I've purchased a second diver from this same seller (Vandue) for myself. The diver got her DAYS before we expected it to the first time. Definitely a seller I'm keeping in mind.

Súper bonito el diseño (buena calidad) y funcional, creo que es muy buen regalo para uno o para los amig@s.

è un contenitore di erbe per infusione. io l'ho usato per il the verde con zenzero e menta. il the verde l'ho trovato solo in bustina e quindi così l'ho lasciato. nell'infusore ho messo il zenzero e la menta. il contenitore è piccolino ma secondo me può contenere il giusto per fare un the o un infuso. ha attacatto un pesetto che serve a non far cadere tutta la cordicella nell'acqua calda e un piattino su cui appoggiare il palombaro quando lo togliete dall'acqua. utile e consigliato

Fun but gets dirty quickly and difficult to clean.

very fun way of doing a cup of tea! cool little side ornament when not in use and a great present for the diver in the family!! would be great if it came with a teeny spoon or even a funnel type affair to load it with! slightly messy to empty!!

Works great, easier to clean than I expected.
