I like it. Minor quibbles
If I hadn't already used one of the [[ASIN:B00DL6LRNY Manatea Tea Infuser Silicone Strainer]] (by Fred and Friends), I might give these sharks a better rating. The are just not quite as good as the Manatea, in my opinion. Shark fans who drink tea should not be put off by my 4 instead of 5 stars.<br /><br />And both sharks and manatees look funny (in a grim way) if you drink herbal teas with ingredients that make your tea red.<br /><br />I use tea infusers like this one to hold those tea bags that don't have any strings, rather than loose leaf tea.<br /><br />Pros: It is silicone, inexpensive, cute, and the tail joins the body snugly without being hard to use. Shark fans who drink tea will enjoy them. A stringless tea bag (like Republic of Tea, etc.) can be rolled loosely to fit into the shark. Doesn't stain, even with hibiscus leaves in the tea. Sharks!<br /><br />Cons: They're a bit on the big side for my taste, and they don't grip the lip of the mug as effectively as the Manatea infuser does. If you drink tea from a teacup instead of a mug, it might be just about right.<br /><br />Details:<br />The shark's head is a heavier, more rigid material than the tail, and the &#34;mouth&#34; that holds the edge of the mug is just slightly too tight for a standard mug so it wants to slide up and fall into the mug.<br /><br />With some herbal teas, if I'm rushing off to a meeting I'll leave the tea bag in as I drink. I can still manage to sip out of a standard mug with a Manatea in it. With these sharks, that's out of the question. They just take up too much space above the mug. (Yes, I use these sharks and the Manatea at work. My co-workers already know I'm a little odd.)<br /><br />That said, the tail is not so big that it displaces too much of the tea, and I think most people will take an infuser out of their cup before drinking.
Rating: 4 stars
