MYTEA

Make the perfect cup of tea. MYTEA tea infuser has a removable stainless steel basin that makes steeping and cleaning out loose leaf tea a breeze. The molded flexible arm is designed to hang onto your mug while steeping or sipping your tea. 

DESIGN INSPIRATION: I wanted to make something that was really playful, while being very simple in design. The shape was driven by the function because I wanted it to be very easy to use. This stainless steel tea infuser has a wide opening to easily fill and clean it. Can be customized to fit any type of mug or glass, so you can bend it over the rim of the mug or just use it straight to stir your tea. You can hang it everywhere. You could even loop it around the tea bag to close it.

The first inspiration came from this Friendly face and its ''Gumby'' material.
The material is TPR or silicone coated wire, it is bendable and keep its position.
