Our collection of global tea represents all the traditional tea producing nations with their signature varieties. Over the past 4000 years, the tea plant spread to each of these nations, where it took on a unique form and flavor due to the regional terroir, namely the local soil quality, humidity, altitude, and temperature. Each region also developed specialized methods of processing the tea leaf to obtain a particular taste and form. Shaped by the traditions of their culture, local tea masters are still developing and perfecting regional tea around the world. Explore our collection!
Caffeine naturally occurs in the tea plant, causing all traditional teas to have a naturally occurring amount level of caffeine. Chemical processes can be used to extract most of the caffeine from tea leaves, however we do not carry these processed decaf teas. We do, however, have a variety of herbal teas that are naturally 100% caffeine free. On the other hand, other traditional teas are naturally highly caffeinated. These create a sustained buzz that won't result in the familiar unwanted "crash" that often follows coffee.

Author: Molly I love this little steeper! It's so much easier to use and clean than a tea ball. And doesn't seem to wear out or stain at all. I use it every day :)
Author: Alan G This is my favorite travel tool. It folds so small, and the lid sticks in place with the steeper, making great tea on the road a no-brainer. Easy to use, easy to clean. Cool stuff TeaSpot!
Author: Suzanne Anthony I had planned a solo camping trip this past weekend and was hoping my new teas and my "Tuffy" would arrive before I left. About an hour before I took off for the mountains Friday, the UPS driver showed up with my package, just in time for me to rip open the box and stash my new treasures in my backpack. Once I got to the campsite, I strung up my little portable hammock, pulled out my book, and steeped a mug of "Meditative Mind" using my new Tuffy collapsible steeper. It was sheer bliss, surrounded in the serenity of nature with my new brew!
Author: Carole Blaney I have the blueberry steeper -- very nice. I make several pots of tea every day and it's holding up well. It really lets the tea leaves unfurl, so the tea seems to taste even better.
Author: Jenn F Awesome product. Great to travel with. I was in Victoria BC over the summer and went into a tea shop that has been around for over 100 years and they were selling the Tuffy Steeper! Made me smile.
Author: Jean M So excited about this. Bought bunches to pair with samples. My grandkids are tea drinkers and these will make perfect stocking stuffers.
Author: Amy L These simply designed steepers are fabulous. The tea is truly able to unfurl and release all it's yummy flavors. It travels great and fits almost every mug. My only complaint is that sometimes the tea leaves get stuck in the holes. I have two, the pink and the strawberry and I don't notice it as much with the strawberry red, but it still occurs. I also notice a big difference when I use high quality teas like those from the tea spot versus low quality loose teas where you end up with a ton of debris in the mug. Makes my tea taste wonderful!
Author: Julie L I really like this little steeper for travel! I love how it can fold into the full size or a smaller size for a shallow cup.
One suggestion: Not sure why the little handle faces inwards? Maybe to keep the lid in place?i If the lid ring was set in a little deeper into the infuser, you wouldn't need the handle to face inwards, instead the handle could face outwards and act as a handle and a hook to hang onto large cups - and it wouldn't get in the way of the lid. Great product though!
Author: Carrie I just got mine yesterday and it fit's perfectly in my larger mug!! I LOVE IT!! I was unsure as the holes seemed too small to allow the water to flow through easily, but it's perfect!!

Author: Stacy Nice steeper. Easy to clean ad stores flat. Like the topper it comes with to keep tea hot while brewing.
Author: Ashley LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! That's all I can say about it.
Author: Linda Povlock Completely sold after one use...this is the best little gadget I've ever bought! Love how it collapses to store flat, love the lid to hold in heat while steeping and to hold the steeper when removed from the cup, love the color and quality, love the ease of use, love everything! So glad I bought an extra to take to work and share with my other tea loving co-workers. BUY IT!
