Plastic is a good choice if it is good quality, but you should note that cheap plastics may affect the flavor of the tea. Some people swear by gold-plated tea infusers, but stainless steel is the best.
2. The size of tea infuser
The size is especially important when you are drinking a type of tea which has been rolled into tightly knitted balls. The tea infuser should be big enough to allow the tea leaves to unfold completely. As if the room is big enough to leave contact area they have with the water, the tea will taste better. So, if you are buying an infuser basket for a tea pot, you need to make sure it will be big enough to hold the correct amount of tea.
3. The shapes of tea infuser
The shapes include a cylinder shape, basket shape, pyramid shape and ball shape, cylinder shape, basket shape and pyramid shape gives the tea leaves more room to move than a ball. And this gives your tea better flavor.
