Tongue Tea Infusers

These Tea Infuser Designs Take Inspiration from the Mouth

— September 6, 2014 — Art & Design
These Tongue-in-Cup cleverly allow tea drinkers to brew their loose leaf teas using a boisterous cartoon lip and tongue infuser designs. Your cup of tea will definitely make a statement with this bold red tea ball.

It's often considered a rude gesture to have your stick your tongue out. The cheeky Tongue-in-Cup cleverly runs with this idea and turns a mouth with a tongue hanging out into a novelty tea infuser. The mouth comes with a red pop art like design complete with a matching tongue filled with tiny little colander holes. Tea drinkers can fill up the tongue with their favorite loose tea and sit the mouth along the side of their mug. The tongue filled with tea will hang effortlessly into your cup of hot water to steep your tea.
