This is an innovative, efficient, and charming accessory for use with loose tea. I love the functionality: use the dipper to scoop the loose tea and then insert the dipper into the matching infuser, and the infuser into your cup, streamlining the process of transferring loose tea to cup. The infuser itself is a work of art: engraved with one of two floral patterns, and comes in both silver and gold. I found my first one in the gift shop of an Asian Art Museum, which speak for its quality of design and fabrication. A perfect gift: useful, beautiful, and unique.
