Tuffy Video Review by Organic Earth

So Stinkin Cute!

With a tip of the hat to The Beatles, this tiny yellow submarine infuser is made from heat-resistant silicone (like our Tuffy Steepers), and submerges to the bottom of your cup to steep. Though it doesn't look like it offers your tea leaves much room to expand, I'd like to see this Tea Sub go head-to-head with the Sharky Infuser in a cuteness contest.

I found this new tea infuser on The Green Head - a great gadget site with quite a lot of tea gear, including our own Steepware. I also snagged these photos from there.

Just like a clip-on tie, but different...

Yanko Designs featured yet another cool tea steeping gadget - The Clip-On Tea Infuser. As they explain, Paul Sukphisit, a senior at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, was given a Student Merit Award for this prototype design at the Industrial Design Society of America (IDSA) Northern District Conference. He'll be taking this design to the national conference this September.

It's adorable, like a tea brewing USB thumb drive, though I question the functionality.

Cool parts of this design:

• the limitless versatility of the outer clip-on design
• the clip-on doubles as a saucer/trough to catch the drips when done brewing
• it can clip onto any-sized mug or cup
  

Questionable parts of the design:

• the size of the infuser appears too small for loose leaf tea to unfurl
  
• the size & shape of the infuser looks like it will be difficult to clean out
  
• the size of the saucer/trough looks too small to actually catch the drips
  

Red Steeping Cup Steeps Red Clover Tea Loose!

Even with all the love and care we give our products, their packaging and presentation on our website, quite often, when we see our products presented on someone else's blog, they're described far more eloquently than we feel able to say ourselves... one such example is yesterday's post about our Red Steeping Cup on the fashionable "Well-Heeled Society's" blog, where the stylish Felicia Coley's saying is: Sometimes life's destiny does not include you being swept off your feet. Sometimes it's just standing in the light of your completeness... wearing fabulous shoes. She thanks us for our donation of a Red Steeping Cup and says "I am now able to get a warm hug with style every morning in red. I have since let my tea ball down easy, proving that it's best not to cry over spilled milk. Or tea... Lose that Ball & Chain! Modern Teaware for Loose Leaf Teas". Thank you Felicia, for understanding and articulating exactly what we want to communicate with our products!

T-Man: a cool loose tea steeping gadget!

Designer Jeewon Jung has made a new loose leaf tea steeper with a sense of humor. I first saw it on two design sites Yanko Design and Gadgets World then looked up the rest of this designer's creations on his own site. I'm a new fan! Take a glimpse at T-Man....
