A 'tea ball' (or tea infuser) is a small, often spherical, perforated container used to hold loose tea leaves for brewing tea. Unlike a tea bag, it's reusable. You fill it with loose tea leaves and steep it in hot water. ☕ It allows for greater control over tea strength and flavor. It is often made of metal.
The term 'tea ball' is descriptive, referring to its spherical shape and function. 'Tea' indicates its purpose, and 'ball' refers to its form. It emerged as an alternative to tea bags, offering a reusable option for brewing loose-leaf tea. The design allows water to circulate freely around the leaves.

The barista carefully fills a stainless steel tea ball with exotic tea leaves and steeps it in a glass teapot, creating a visually appealing and aromatic experience. It's all about presentation and quality. 🤩
