product description
Durante lo sviluppo della mug TO_ prende vita l’idea di affiancarle un cuocitè per uso individuale con cui raccogliere le foglie dal barattolo e preparare il tè o l’infuso direttamente nella mug. You è formato da una porzione di lastra di acciaio avvolta in forma conica. Il traforo floreale, indispensabile per il passaggio della sostanza nell’acqua, riprende il progetto tessile svolto negli anni precedenti.
During the development of the TO_ mug, the idea of adding a tea-infuser for an individual use comes to life, with which collect leaves from the jar and preparing tea or infusions directly in the mug. You is formed by a portion of steel sheet wrapped in a conical shape. The perforated floral design, essential to impart the flavor of tea leaves to the water, recall a motiv of the textile project developed in the previous years.
Take the tea leaves from the tin, using the tea infuser. Put the tea infuser in a cup of hot (not boiling) water and leave to brew for the required time. The special shape of the tea infuser means you can use it to stir in sugar, honey or milk if you want to make Chai Tea. The tea infuser can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
Prendre le thé en feuilles ou en fragments de feu- illes dans la boîte avec l’infuseur à thé. Plonger l’infuseur à thé dans l’eau chaude (non bouillan- te) et laisser infuser le temps choisi. La forme du infuseur à thé permet de mélanger le sucre, le miel ou le lait, en cas de préparation de Chai Tea. L’infuseur à thé peut être lavé normalement à la main ou dans le lave-vaisselle.
Teeblätter oder geschnittenen Tee mit dem Tee- stab aus der Teedose nehmen. Teestab in heißes Wasser (kein kochendes Wasser) geben und die gewünschte Zeit ziehen lassen. Die Form des Teestabs erlaubt es, Zucker, Honig oder Milch für die Zubereitung des Chai Tea unter zu mischen. Der Teestab kann von Hand oder in der Spülma- schine gespült werden.
