Made from durable, non-staining, microwave- and dishwasher-safe silicone, the Tea Buddy is the perfect gift for any tea lover. In addition to keeping your teacup hot and full of herbal goodness, its flexible construction allows you to secure the tea bag and string during steeping and to squeeze the bag safely without burning yourself when you’re ready to remove it. It will even hold your used bag until you’re ready to compost it. The Tea Buddy adheres to our standards for product safety and fair labor practices. We may get a little obsessive when it comes to details, but to brew well is to be well. Make your steeping count with the help of the Tea Buddy!
