Meet the Fred & Friends Sip'opotamus Silicone Tea Infuser, a little baby hippo that makes brewing loose-leaf tea more entertaining. Inspired by the charm of a baby hippopotamus, this playful kitchen accessory sits in your mug while your tea steeps.

To use it, remove the flexible silicone base, add your favourite loose-leaf tea, and put the base back in place. Leave a little room for the leaves to expand before placing the infuser in hot water. When you're finished, empty the leaves and rinse the infuser, or put it in the dishwasher for cleaning.

Made from food-safe, BPA-free silicone, Sip'opotamus is also microwave safe and rated by the manufacturer for temperatures up to 230°C (450°F). The infuser measures approximately 4.3 x 5.1 x 8.1 cm and comes in a colourful, gift-ready box. A fun choice for hippo fans and loose-leaf tea drinkers alike.
