Tea bags are easy. All you have to do is prepare a cup and you can drink tea as soon as you have hot water. However, not only are the types of black tea that can be drunk in tea bags limited, but there are also cases where low-quality tea leaves are used.

If you make black tea with loose-leaf, you can choose the quality, grade, and type of tea leaves quite freely. However, for example, when making tea using loose-leaf tea leaves at work, it is difficult to prepare a teapot.

"Imbue" is a portable tea infuser. It was developed as a tool for putting loose-leaf tea leaves as easily as a tea bag.

To make black tea with "Imbue", first put the tea leaves in a strainer (tea strainer) and attach it to the inside of the lid. A strong magnet is attached to the inside of the lid, so it can be attached with a single touch. Next, pour hot water into the "Imbue" body, close the lid, turn it upside down, and leave it for a while. When it reaches the desired strength, turn over "Imbue" and remove the lid to drink black tea.
