The Genuine Fred Grim Reaper Tea Infuser is manufactured from 100% food-safe silicone, a material chosen for being chemically inert and resistant to odors or tastes. The silicone is rated to remain stable at temperatures up to 450°F, and the integrated scythe handle serves as a cool-to-touch counterweight that rests on the rim of standard mugs. This design is specifically optimized for use with whole-leaf teas rather than fine-cut or herbal blends, as the perforation size is designed to allow for water flow while retaining larger leaves.
The two-piece torso junction uses a friction-fit seal for easy filling and cleaning. Over time, the flexible nature of the material may lead to a looser fit if exposed to repeated high-heat cycles, so ensuring a firm closure before submerging is a practical step for best results. This tool is fully dishwasher safe, making it a low-maintenance option for seasonal or daily use. Its vertical profile is best suited for standard cup depths rather than deep travel tumblers.
For a complete seasonal beverage service, consider pairing this infuser with the Black Skull Stainless Steel Spoon Set.
