مصفاة شاي كوالا ذهبية

I was skeptical about a novelty infuser, but the koala actually stays shut tight while steeping, and the half-fill line makes it foolproof for a single cup. It’s cute enough to leave on the counter, and cleaning it takes ten seconds under the tap.

The little koala hangs perfectly on the rim of my mug, and half-filling it with loose leaf makes every brew feel like a tiny ritual. I've already got my eye on another figure to collect, it's that kind of fun.

The half-fill line is exactly right—too much water and the leaves get waterlogged, too little and it's weak. It's a bit fiddly to snap shut, but the koala's face peeking out of my mug makes the extra care worth it.
