Review on Epoca Kitchen Tool Primula Tea Bag Buddy - Convenient & Versatile - 100% Silicone - Green, 4.25-Inch by Amy Bernabe

This is really one of those things I didn't know I needed until I got used to it. Basically you slide your tea bag through the small slit at the top and the label is on the opposite side of the outer slit. You let your tea steep for as long as you like, and when you're ready you can swipe the label and drag the tea bag right next to your mate. Then turn it over and, depending on personal skill and preference, squeeze it in the same hand or the other to extract all of the aromatic tea mixed with the sachet. You can then turn the buddy over and use it as a pretty tea bag holder. It requires no cleaning other than a quick rinse in the sink, then it's ready to go again! It also keeps your tea quite warm for a long time if you don't drink it right away. The silicone appears to be of good quality. It reminds me of the silicone muffin tin I have, flexible yet sturdy. It doesn't transfer much heat at all, so you won't even burn yourself squeezing out a fresh hot tea bag. If you are a regular tea drinker and don't want to get your saucer dirty every time you drink tea then this is a fantastic product. This would be less helpful for those who use stringless tea bags or prefer loose tea, but other than that I highly recommend this product. Store your used tea bag so you don't have to leave it and end up with bitter tea. Keeps tea warm until you're ready to take out the pouch. good colors - Not suitable for loose tea (unless you use disposable tea bags) 5/5 overall! This is a great product.
