Tea infusers
Your hand made tea infuser will be the only one of its kind in the world. Each one is based on a unique design and then hand crafted using silver, high Karat gold, and genuine stones. Although they are works of art, they are also meant to be used. Every Kevin Ard tea infuser holds enough loose tea to make one full cup.

The process
Each one begins as a beautiful pencil drawing, showing how the mechanism will work, and where the tea leaves go in. With custom designs, you will have the opportunity to request slight changes to the design or to specify what stones you would prefer.

Once the design is approved, Kevin begins forging the piece by hand out of Sterling silver. Other than the chain, no manufactured pieces are used in the assembly - every piece is created from raw materials. After the silver shell is complete, he artfully drills hundreds of holes to allow hot water to flow in and steep the tea leaves.

He then creates the caps, sets the stones, and adds any silver or gold embellishments using a variety of difficult, ancient techniques. Each tea infuser is then tumbled for many hours to harden the metal, making it as durable as possible for regular use.

Finally, your infuser will be polished and custom-packaged in a silvercloth-lined box that will protect and display the piece for years to come.

The moment you receive your infuser, you will know why tea accessory collectors believe that a cup of tea truly can be a work of art.

Tea Muse Magazine recently interviewed Kevin and did a lengthy piece describing his process in detail. Click here to read the full article.
