herbal teacup

[carmalee]

anyone know the correct name for the cup you use for herbal teas? - I have one and would like to buy another as a gift. . It's a smallish cup with a rigid, removeable filter type thing fitted inside for the tea/herbs/spices etc to go into. When the 'infusion' is ready, you lift out the insert and place it on the nifty ceramic lid which has helped with the brewing process. Have googled everything I can think of. TIA

I think they just call them a Tea Infuser .
If you Google something like " Tea cup infuser" , "Mug infuser " or "Herbal Tea Infuser " that should lead you to something .Whittards have some nice ones, or they did have .I got one from there ages ago in a blue and white pattern .
