Zack Tamio Brushed Stainless Steel Tea Ball Infuser

The Tea Ritual, Refined

The Zack Tamio Tea Ball Stick is built for people who take their loose-leaf tea seriously. Crafted from 18/10 stainless steel with an exclusive matt brushed finish, it brings German precision to one of life's quieter pleasures. A single finger press opens and closes the ball, the generous soaking chamber lets leaves expand fully for maximum flavour, and the snap-in filling mechanism means you're brewing in seconds rather than fumbling with fiddly clasps.

The BPA-free plastic handle stays cool, the wide opening makes cleaning effortless, and the slim profile fits both glasses and cups with equal ease. This is a tea infuser that earns its place in the drawer — and on the table.

How to Use

Press the handle to open the tea ball and fill with your chosen loose-leaf tea — one to two teaspoons is a good starting point. Snap the ball closed and lower it into your cup or glass. Pour over freshly boiled water at the appropriate temperature for your tea type and steep for the recommended time. Lift the infuser out, rest it on a saucer, and enjoy. After use, open the ball over a bin to discard the leaves, then rinse under warm running water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of tea can I use with the Zack Tamio infuser?
The Tamio works with any loose-leaf tea — black, green, white, oolong, herbal, and fruit blends. The generous soaking chamber gives leaves plenty of room to expand, which is particularly important for larger-leaf teas like oolong and white tea.

Is the Zack Tamio dishwasher safe?
The stainless steel ball is dishwasher safe. For the BPA-free plastic handle, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve its finish over time.

Will the infuser fit in a standard mug?
Yes. The Tamio is designed to be compatible with both standard mugs and glasses. The 20.5 cm height means the handle rests comfortably on the rim while the ball sits fully submerged in the liquid.

How do I clean the tea ball?
Press the handle to open the ball, discard the used leaves, and rinse under warm running water. The wide opening makes it easy to remove any residual leaves without needing a brush.

Is the handle heat-resistant?
The BPA-free plastic handle is designed to stay cool during normal brewing use. Avoid leaving the infuser in boiling water for extended periods.

What is the diameter of the tea ball?
The tea ball has a diameter of 4 cm, which provides a generous capacity for loose-leaf teas while remaining compact enough to fit comfortably in most cups and glasses.
