# Aquatic Beverage Brewers The Octeapus Tea Steeper Goes Underwater to Enhance Flavor By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-08-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-steeper References: [thegreenhead](http://www.thegreenhead.com/2013/08/octeapus-tea-infuser.php) & [justmustard](http://www.justmustard.com/octeapus.html) Straight from the Just Mustard design studio, the Octeapus tea steeper is an [octopus tea infuser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revo-foods) with eight little tentacles that slowly release all the flavors of your favorite brew. A big round head gives the octopus a cute bobble head appearance and can be opened up to place [loose tea leaves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-tea-assortment) or a tea bag within. The aquatic creature then goes deep into the mug, letting the flavorful leaves soak up the warm water as they are immersed and releasing colorful tea, almost like a [squid releasing black ink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikr-fork) into the water. A no-brainer to use, the Octeapus tea steeper has a nice long chain attached to its back so that the user can easily fish it out anytime. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Underwater Tea Infusers:** This trend presents an opportunity for tea companies to create unique and immersive brewing experiences for tea enthusiasts. - **Novelty Tea Accessories:** This trend opens up possibilities for companies to design and produce fun and whimsical tea infusers that enhance the tea-drinking experience. - **Flavor-enhancing Tea Brewing:** This trend allows for innovation in developing new methods or tools to extract maximum flavor from tea leaves and create vibrant and aromatic teas. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Tea and Beverages:** Tea companies can capitalize on this trend by developing and marketing unique tea infusers that enhance the tea-drinking experience. - **Gifts and Novelty Items:** This trend presents an opportunity for companies in the gifts and novelty industry to offer fun and creative tea accessories as unique gift options. - **Kitchenware and Home Decor:** This trend opens up avenues for companies in the kitchenware and home decor industry to create and sell aesthetically pleasing tea infusers that enhance the overall tea brewing experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Grim Reaper Tea Infusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grim-reaper.md) - [Grim Reaper Tea Infusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grim-reaper-tea.md) - [Effortless Tea Brewing Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuptone-teacup.md) - [Automated Extraction Teapots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reedesigned-teapot.md) - [Luxury Full-Leaf Tea Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affinitea.md) - [Contemporary Tea Maker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/u-soo.md) - [Relaxing Countertop Tea Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-tea-maker.md) - [Smart Tea Infusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-tea-infuser.md) - [Luxe Tea-Brewing Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affinitea-brewing-system.md)
