10 Best Novelty Tea Infusers in 2022 (Tovolo, RSVP International, and More)

This is a pair of two cute, long-necked dinosaurs that come in green and turquoise. Their necks are long, so they'll poke out of any mug. They're also curved, so they can hang on the sides of tumblers, making them easy to remove. The manufacturer does not recommend these for tea that is either powdered or finely ground.

The holes on these dinosaur infusers are small, and several reviewers say that they're too small to fully infuse the tea. If you like strong tea, these may not be the best choice for you. However, reviewers love how cute they are and say they are easy to clean. Due to the small holes, it's very rare for any leaves to escape.

This basket-style novelty tea infuser comes in two designs: a horse and a dog. They feature a large stainless steel basket that drops down into the mug, and an oversized handle to keep the basket in place. The handle is cut into the shape of the animal and is large enough to be used not only with mugs but also teapots.

One reviewer points out that this strainer isn't suitable for slim tumblers. There are also a couple of reports of small tea leaves escaping into the tea. However, most reviewers praise the construction and sturdiness of this infuser. They say it's easy to clean. It's a big hit with owners and lovers of the different animals.

If you have a large family or regularly drink loose leaf tea in groups, then this pack of seven tea infusers has got everyone covered. These cute leaf tea infusers have a basket made of stainless steel and a handle made of silicone, offering the best of both worlds. Each infuser is a different color and they all come with a drip tray.

A handful of reviewers say that the holes are a little big, and fine tea leaves might escape through. Still, the majority of reviewers love the look of these infusers. They say they are easy to use and easy to clean, and many appreciate the matching set.

Slowly brew your tea with this equally slow sloth. It will hang onto the rim of your mug as the tea infuses from the bottom of the infuser. You can easily fill the sloth as it opens in the middle to give you full access to put your tea leaves inside. It's both microwave and dishwasher-safe and is made from BPA-free silicone.

Some reviewers report that there isn't enough space inside, so it's difficult to brew a strong tea. A few add that it doesn't reach very deeply into the mug. Still, most reviewers love the cuteness of this sloth and say it's well-made. It's easy to clean and easy to use, and makes a great gift.

If you like both tea and all things spooky, this skull and crossbones tea infuser might be exactly what you need! This is a pack of two skull-shaped silicone infusers that are on a chain connected to crossbones. The top of the skull pops off and lets you put the tea inside.

Some reviewers report that the holes in the skull are too big for finer tea and small leaves can easily escape. However, many reviewers appreciate that they don't stain and are easy to clean. They praise the seal on the skull, saying it's easy to open but is secure when closed.

This tea infuser is made of both silicone and stainless steel. It's also available in several colors. The figure on top comes off and you can then fill the cylinder with leaves. Once set in a cup, the figure will look like it's relaxing in a pool of tea!

Reviewers say that the cylinder for the tea leaves is narrow, making it difficult to fill without spilling any leaves. However, leaves don't escape into the cup due to the tight mesh of the cylinder. Many love how cute the figure is and say this infuser makes them smile.

Filling this pig-shaped strainer is easy, simply screw the base off. The majority of the pig's body is available for tea leaves. A chain is attached to the pig so you can remove it from your mug easily. There are small holes in the side to allow the tea to infuse, and it is dishwasher-safe.

Some reviewers say that the holes in the pig are too large and tea leaves can seep out. However, they agree that the infuser is very fun and cute. Many say it's easy to clean and stays sealed when the base is in place. The color is praised for being vibrant and bright.

This tea infuser consists of a cute, yellow duck made from plastic and a stainless steel tea basket. Once the infuser is filled with tea, it will remain under the surface of the water, but the duck will float on top. It also comes with a stand, so you can remove the infuser and keep the duck in view.

A few reviewers warn that the infuser pops open and water may seep inside the duck, causing it to struggle to float. Some also advise drying it out completely to avoid mold. On the other hand, many reviewers report no problems and say that their duck floats well and looks very cute! They praise the size of the basket, saying it holds a lot of leaves and diffuses well.

With this set, you get five adorable animal-shaped tea infusers. They are all different colors and animals, making them ideal for family members to choose their favorite. Four of the animals are shaped to rest on the side of your mug and the owl has a chain, making them all easy to insert and remove.

For some reviewers, these are a mixed bag. They say that some infusers can hold more tea than others and some sit too far above the waterline when placed on the rim of the mug. However, the adorableness of these infusers is not in doubt! They made for popular gifts, and reviewers say they are easy to clean.

Shaped like a jumping unicorn, this infuser is made from silicone and comes with a drawstring bag. The body is white and it has a colorful many to draw attention. It splits in the middle, giving full access to the rear of the unicorn to be filled with tea.

There isn't much room inside the unicorn for tea leaves, according to reviewers. They also say that some of the holes are too high and sit above the waterline. However, despite being white, it's super easy to clean. Tea stains are not a problem, some say. Many bought this as a gift and say it was well-received by the recipient.
