Pirate Tea Steepers

The Skeletal Silicone Halloween Tea Infuser Looks Like a Skull and Crossbones

— October 27, 2014 — Art & Design
If you are looking for decorative accessories for Halloween tea, this pirate themed infuser is exactly what you are looking for. From ThinkGeek, the T-Bones Tea Infuser is a steeper in the shape of a skull and crossbones. Nicknamed the Grim Steeper, the bone white device is a spooky alternative to a typical tea bag.

Made out of food-safe silicone, the Halloween tea infuser represents the design most people associate with piracy. Most people probably also assume pirates enjoy rum most, but they might also enjoy tea and we just don't know about it. Because we are (maritime) law abiding citizens. Either way, this not so scary skeletal tea steeper will make your own cup a more adventurous and tasty one.
