Instead, it has been reinterpreted to hold tea leaves for a playful and vibrant alternative to more traditional steepers. Perfect for the girly girl who loves her [afternoon tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuptone-teacup), the Babushka Tea Infuser will elevate the experience in a fun way. Available online at the Neatoshop, the Babushka Tea Infuser is made out of food-safe polyproplyene and stainless steel. A great gift for [tea lovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onetotea) and [Matryoshka enthusiasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bird-blend-x-hello-kitty) alike, its head bobs endearingly above the hot water as its body goes to work. It is available in three different color combinations: red and blue, green and blue as well as red and green. All three will make a cute set. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Playful Tea Steepers:** There is an opportunity for disruptively innovative tea steepers that are whimsical and playful. - **Novelty Infusers:** There is an opportunity for disruptively innovative infusers that are inspired by objects not traditionally associated with tea. - **Colorful Steeping Devices:** There is an opportunity for disruptively innovative tea steepers that add a pop of color to the tea experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Kitchenware:** There is an opportunity for disruptively innovative kitchenware companies to create fun and quirky tea steepers. - **Gifts and Novelties:** There is an opportunity for disruptively innovative gift and novelty companies to create unique and playful tea infusers. - **Home Decor:** There is an opportunity for disruptively innovative home decor companies to create tea steepers that double as cute and quirky decor pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Grim Reaper Tea Infusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grim-reaper.md) - [Magnetic Three-in-One Tea Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ohteavor.md) - [Smart Tea Infusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-tea-infuser.md) - [Stacked Tea Kettle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stacked-tea-kettle.md) - [Customizable Mother's Day Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-tea.md) - [Loose-Leaf Tea Discs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-disc.md) - [Surrealist-Inspired Tea Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection.md) - [Opulent Floral Tea Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brew-to-a-tea.md) - [Digital Tea Brewing Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bota-bottle.md)
