Great Birthday Gift

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

I had given this as a birthday gift and they loved it! It's very cute while it is hanging-out in the tea cup soaking the tea leaves inside of it. It's a cute idea for someone who enjoys a nice cup of tea with some biscuits. I had bought this for someone in my family who enjoys drinking hot tea. They thought it was a cute little tea guy. The packaging wasn't anything special. It came in a box with a picture of this little guy on the front cover of the box. I wish I had taken a picture of it, but I forgot to. I wrapped it up all ready to go. The tea leaves don't come out of the little guy's pants so that's great! Makes great tea! I paid a pretty good price for it.

Works fine, but the 'cute' factor is priceless

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

Works well, although the holes are a little larger than I'd prefer - the finer tea leaves do wind up in your beverage (roughage, as my grandmother would say). It's easy to use and the flexible material means that I can pour from the tablespoon/teaspoon without losing tea everywhere. On top of that, it can go just about anywhere in the dishwasher without a problem.
Honestly, performance-wise it's no worse or better than a regular tea strainer... BUT it makes my wife smile because it's a cute little product. That is worth way more than anything else I can say. Not only do I get brownie points for making my wife a cup of tea, but she thinks thinks the little guy on the edge of the mug is funny. Happy wife, happy life. Words to live by.

Not Bad, but Some Design Flaws

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

As a loose-leaf tea lover, I was looking for a practical way to brew individual cups of tea without resorting to an unattractive mesh ball. I purchased Fred based on what I had seen in stores--Fred was cute, functional, and priced reasonably on Amazon.

In terms of design, Fred fits on most standard mugs, holds about three-and-a-half teaspoons of tea leaves, and is dishwasher safe (not that I like to put my tea supplies in the dishwasher).

However, the silicon does retain some leftover aroma from the tea, which could probably be solved by throwing Fred's pants in the dishwasher once a month or so. Another main flaw is that any smaller loose-leaf teas, such as rooibos, will leak leaves out of Fred's pants. For tea purists, this may be an issue, but I don't mind the leaves in the bottom of my cup, as tea leaves are non-toxic. However, if you do not like particles in your tea, then I would invest in a metal tea ball, as the whole line of silicon tea infusers has this issue.

Someone posted a video clip of Mr.T on facebook and I thought it was so cute that I just had to have one. I actually ordered 3, one for myself and 2 for friends. Not only is Mr. T. a great conversation starter, he also makes a great cup of tea. It takes very few tea leaves to make a cup of tea. Much more economical than using tea bags. I will probably order several more for gifts.
