Tea infusers come in all shapes and sizes, a lot of them creative and adorable. But if dealing with loose-leaf tea isn’t really your thing, these goldfish tea bags from Charm Villa will allow you both the luxury of simply tossing a tea bag into your cup and the delight of it being cute and whimsical.
Composed of Japanese fabric, these tea bags come in four varieties of Taiwanese tea leaves — rose oolong, ruby black, jin xuan oolong, and oriental beauty. When submerged, the tea bag swells into a beautiful goldfish swimming in your cup.
