GlobeIn "Infuse" Box Review
1 of 7
Each box from GlobeIn contains a booklet that talks more about the theme for the box and the items inside. This little booklet is almost as valuable to me as the items inside the box, because it gives background on each piece and often includes names and photos of the artisans behind them. I absolutely love knowing more about the products and the hands that crafted each item.
Time to check out our handmade goodies!

Chimini Teapot with Natural Lid, Nepal
Measurements: 5" H x 5" W.
Materials: Ceramic
I love handmade ceramics so this teapot felt like a real treasure. The soft blue glaze is such a complement to the unglazed lid which has a grainy natural finish. This pot holds loads of hot water and does a really great job of keeping the water hot, too. It is certainly an upgrade from my beat-up old metal kettle, especially if I am sharing tea with friends and want the presentation to be pretty!

Mug Topper Tea Strainer, India
Measurements: 9" long
Materials: Copper coated stainless steel
This is the perfect sort of strainer for an extra-large mug! It also actually sifts flour and powdered sugar well, too. Because of the design, it sits across a small mug or bowl and remains steady all buy itself, keeping your hands free.

Fair Trade Tea Drops Collection - Buy more here!
How cute are these? They make tea time feel so fancy and are so easy to use. This little trio consists of Sweet Peppermint, Rose Earl Grey, and Blueberry Acai. The little drops already have cane sugar inside too, so all you need is hot water!

So you don't actually need a strainer to use these yummy tea drops. The tea is so fine it basically dissolves and you don't even notice it when you are drinking. It is really delicious and kind of a genius solution for tea on the go. You could just pop one of these into a Swell water bottle in the morning with hot water and be set!
The Verdict: The GlobeIn 'Infuse' box was really great for a tea-lover like myself. I tend to have 2-3 cups throughout the day, but my night cup is always the "fancy" one where I relax and take my time. This teapot is perfect for bringing hot water up to my office and sipping all day long, too! I needed a larger strainer for some of my floral teas and I also loved the tea drops!
