The Aurelian Luxury Stainless Steel Tea Infuser – Artisan Dual-Handle Strainer with Matching Drip Tray
Product Description
Indulge in the ultimate steeping experience with The Aurelian, a masterfully crafted tea accessory designed for the discerning palate. Combining old-world elegance with modern precision, this infuser transforms a simple cup of tea into a moment of pure luxury.
Artisanal Design Meets Function
The first thing you'll notice about The Aurelian is its beautiful, wide-set handles. They don't just look stunning; they're designed to sit perfectly balanced across almost any cup you own—from your favourite oversized 'me-time' mug to that delicate tea set you save for guests. It stays securely in place, so you can pour your water and watch your leaves unfurl without any wobbling or mess.
Pure Flavour, Uncompromised
Crafted from high-grade, food-safe stainless steel, The Aurelian is entirely neutral in taste and scent. The ultra-fine micro-mesh allows water to circulate freely, ensuring your loose-leaf teas fully unfurl and release their complex bouquets while keeping even the smallest particles out of your cup.
The Ritual of the Perfect Pour.
The elegance continues after the brew. The Aurelian comes accompanied by a matching stainless steel saucer. Once your tea has reached its peak strength, lift the infuser and place it on the drip tray to keep your tablecloths and coasters pristine. It is a seamless, mess-free ritual that honours the tradition of fine tea.
Luxury That's Low Maintenance
While The Aurelian looks like a delicate heirloom, it's built for modern life. We've used high-grade stainless steel that won't rust or retain old flavours, and best of all? It's completely dishwasher safe. You get the elegance of a traditional tea ceremony without the tedious cleanup - giving you more time to enjoy your tea.
How to Brew the Perfect Cup with The Aurelian
Using your new infuser is simple, but these steps will ensure you get the best flavour from your leaves every time:
1) Measure Your Tea: Scoop 1–2 teaspoons of your favourite loose-leaf tea into the Aurelian basket.
2) Set the Stage: Place the infuser over your mug or teapot. Notice how the wide handles sit securely on the rim - no slipping allowed!
3) The Pour: Gently pour hot water over the leaves. Ensure the water level reaches near the top of the mesh so the leaves have plenty of room to float and expand.
4) The Steep: Let it sit for the recommended time (usually 2–3 minutes for green tea or 5 minutes for black and herbal blends).
5) The Clean Lift: Once brewed, lift The Aurelian by the handles and place it directly onto the included stainless-steel drip tray. Your tea is ready, and your table stays dry!
6) Quick Clean: Tap the used leaves into your compost bin and give the filter a quick rinse under the tap, or pop it in the dishwasher.
