Fred TEATANIC Titanic Tea Infuser

Oh gosh i love this so much!My best friend and i are naval enthusiasts, and we especially love the titanic!The design is great and cute. You can put it in the dishwasher to wash it, i've done it several times and it still works great.Sometimes when you pour the water, you gotta hold it down cause it wants to float to the top.Also the hull might make it flip over upsidedown cause it still has some air inside it.But it's no big deal to me because it infuses my tea and it gets the job done.The holes are kinda big, so SOME teas might have a few leaves slip through the holes.

I love tea so I fill this guy up and I can usually brew two cups of tea from the amount of leaves it holds. Opening and closing it is a bit tricky - the entire hull comes off and it's really flexible so takes a little patience. Able to put in top shelf in dishwasher with no problem. I haven't had any trouble with tea pieces coming through the holes (I use Harney & Sons tea) but not sure if finer ground tea would travel through.Overall, a great piece and a fun conversation starter!

Very cool and kitschy! Bought it for my friend who is a tea buff, along with a bunch of loose leaf tea, and I'm actually jealous and want to keep it! The ship is a couple inches long so it won't fit too well in a small teacup but it'll be great in a mug or bigger container. It's easy to open and close, I don't think she'll have any problems with tea leaves leaking out.

A nice reminder of a beautiful ship and the ppl lost in her maiden voyage. Something worth contemplating while sipping my tea. Also novel and a break from other tea infusers. Some tea leaves make it through but basically a tight construction. I have a replica of the original Titanic china cup, we bought at the Titanic Museum display in Dallas. Using the Teatsnic infuser takes me right back to that amazing walk-thru experience . . . And the movie, Titanic, of course. Although the Titanic disaster is nothing to make light of, we can at least remember it and the many lives and stories that came from it while enjoying the function of this product.

My hubs tells me that eventually our house is going to look like Pee-Wee’s Playhouse with all the “things” being other “things” around here! I saw the Tea-tanic & knew it was a nice addition to my collection of “things”. I half expected it to pop open when I put it in the water. But it stayed together. There was some leaves that came out, but nothing more than what my traditional tea diffuser does. The material is very flexible & bendable. This wouldn’t be a good item for individuals with fine motor or dexterity challenges, including arthritis or shaking, etc. I haven’t figured out a way to load the black bottom half without holding it in one hand and filling it with a spoon in another. It’s a lot like rolling your own cigarettes. But funnier & with your favorite tea! I really enjoy it!

The idea of this is hilarious. I bought it for my sister who loves titanic and turns out she already had it! She's that obsessed lol so I kept it. It works good for when the tea has larger pieces but when the loose leaf tea is fine, it leaks out and gets into your tea. Cool idea though lol but I suggest the metal little ball tea thing because it's more practical

When I first opened this, the teatanic itself was larger than I expected. It opens laterally, the white and blue sections of the silicon come apart and the tea is put in the bottom of the boat. I was concerned that it would be hard to get it back together without spilling the tea or that it would easily pop apart while in the teacup, but neither of these things were actually an issue. I rather like the size because of how it sits in the cup, and is good for stirring the tea a bit in a way that infusers on a string or chain aren't as effective for. The biggest problem I have with it: the Titanic had 3 smokestacks and this has 4. It's really more of a tea-ship. I would buy this, unpackage it, and put it in a gift basket set for my navy-wife friends. It looks the most like titanic when only the back half is sticking up out of the tea :)

Still love this tea infuser two years later. Do I mostly reach past it and use a convenient bag? Yes.But oh my goodness it gives me a smile every time I see it! The joy did not wear off.
