teastickOne of Aly’s designs that caught our eye is the Teastick.

The Teastick offers the design-hungry buyer a completely unique look and function. Sleek and intriguing, the Teastick is fabricated from high-grade stainless steel, and is able to stand years of service.

And best of all, it’s easy to use!

It acts as a measure, container, and infuser - everything needed for tea but the cup of hot water. Just slide back the perforated cylinder, scoop from the tin of your favourite tea, slide it closed and immerse in water.

Tea anyone?
