Tea Infuser Evaluation

Draw/describe the tea infuser you are using:
It is in the shape of a tea pot, the center is concaved to hold the loose tea. The spout and handle of the tea pot rests on the rim of the mug you drink from.

What parts of the tea infuser function well?
It holds loose tea leaves and rests on my specific cup

What parts of the tea infuser could be improved upon?
If the diameter of my rim was a little larger the tea infuser would fall right in; not a universal tea infuser. In order for the tea leaves to soak in the hot water my cup would have to be filled to the rim, also poor planning.

What about the tea infuser makes the tea experience enjoyable?
The playful soft curves of the tea pot shape are relaxing and soothing.

Think about the overall tea drinking experience. How would you design a tea infuser to enhance that experience?
I would like to make one that could be used for mugs of all shapes and sizes, and one that could be used for someone that wants a lot of tea or very little. I'd also consider making a design thats fun and a miniture replica of a larger object.
