Characteristics
Red jasper is a silica-rich, iron-bearing opaque stone whose characteristic red colour comes from iron oxide (haematite). The opaque appearance means it is not translucent but matte — which gives it its natural, raw character. The fine steel mesh retains tea leaves effectively, and the stone is easy to keep clean.
How to Use
Fill the mesh basket with loose-leaf tea, place it over your mug and pour hot water. After steeping for 3–5 minutes, lift out the basket using the chain. Rinse the mesh under running water and wipe the jasper charm with a damp cloth. Red jasper is relatively hard and durable, but prolonged soaking should still be avoided.
Why Choose This?
The Red Jasper Tea Infuser is ideal for those who appreciate a bolder, more characterful natural aesthetic. Red jasper is one of the oldest and most widely used ornamental stones in history — now shining in a new role as a tea infuser charm. A distinctive yet understated gift for tea enthusiasts.
Tips
- Pairs visually well with strong, spiced teas such as rooibos, ginger, or spiced chai.
- Red jasper looks best in sunlight — its warm, deep red tones come alive.
- A particularly beautiful accent piece alongside terracotta and natural wood kitchen decor.
