Thee Sub

The silicone body is soft and flexible, so it's easy to pop open and close even when my hands are wet from rinsing it. I love that it floats upright in my mug like a tiny periscope watching my tea steep.

It’s the little submarine shape that gets me—sitting on the rim of my mug, it actually makes brewing tea feel like a tiny ritual. The silicone is sturdy enough to hold its form but flexible for a quick rinse, and honestly, it’s become my favorite part of the afternoon.

The submarine shape makes me smile every time I brew, and the silicone is sturdy enough that I don't worry about it slipping into the mug. It sinks and floats just like a real sub while steeping, which is way more fun than my old ball infuser.
