We are considering expanding our business to include tea accessories.

Mostly for newbies who never had loose leaf before and avoid it due to the misconception that one needs a lot of tools and gadgets to enjoy a nice cup of loose leaf.

Personally, I really don’t like tea balls because they don’t let the leaves to expand enough.

When I am in a hurry or late for work and don’t have time to make a proper teapot; I just throw some loose leaves into a mug, fill with boiling water and drive with my left, tea in hand.

After checking the Steepster Teaware section; I came across the brew in mug infuser. Never had one but, everything seems great about it. Except for the price. $12.50 at Teavana & Davids Tea. And it doesn’t include the cup. If you want the cup it’s $22.50. This seems a bit excessive. Not sure we can charge our customers that much for a cup.

So, my question is:

Do you know of a cheaper yet high quality infuser available on the market that will perform similarly to the brew in mug strainer?

Best tea steepers for a low price?
