Teaball Orbit - large
These fine mesh teaballs come in two sizes. The large is spacious enough to properly infuse up to 3 tsp. of loose tea (resulting in 6 cups of brewed tea). The mini orbit is big enough to infuse up to 1 tsp. of loose tea (resulting in 1-2 cups of brewed tea).
Both are designed to fit most shapes & sizes of mugs, & can also be used in most teapots. The chain clips onto the side of the teapot or mug.

Brewing Instructions
Pour 2 cups of water over 1 tsp. of SILK ROAD premium quality, organic loose tea. This may not seem like a lot of tea but SILK ROAD teas are incredibly fresh & flavourful, which means that you don’t need very much in order to produce a delicious cup of tea. Using any more tea leaves can result in a cup of tea that is too strong.

Sizing Information
We’re now sold out of the 250 cup size tins, but you’re welcome to order refills for your 250 cup tins. We’re delighted to announce that our 300 cup tins are back in stock again!
Loose teas are sold in refillable tins to preserve freshness and nutrients. Exposure to light, heat and air causes flavour loss as well as the nutrient value of tea to decline, so be sure to store your teas in the tins they came in. Bring the tin back into our shops for refills and enjoy a discount. Please note that we sell our loose teas by volume, not weight.
