SLOW BREW

Brewing tea feels more like a tiny ritual now that this little sloth hangs right off the mug, and the heat-resistant silicone hasn't warped or picked up any weird smells. It's also incredibly easy to rinse clean, which I didn't expect from such a cute novelty infuser.

The silicone is genuinely heat-resistant—I've poured boiling water over it a dozen times and the sloth hasn't warped or smelled weird. It's BPA-free too, which matters since it sits in my tea the whole time. Cleaning is a bit fiddly around the arms, but that's my only nitpick.

I've been using this little sloth every morning and it hasn't stained or held onto yesterday's tea flavor at all. The silicone is soft enough that it doesn't scratch my favorite mug, and it just sits there grinning while my oolong steeps.
