Loch Ness Tea Monster

Drop the loose-leaf tea into the head and watch a tiny green Loch Ness Monster surface in your mug. The head pokes out one side, humps the other. Ototo’s design has been doing the rounds for fifteen years, and for good reason.

The spec:

• Food-grade silicone.
• Dishwasher-safe.
• Compatible with most tea.
• Doesn’t bite.

A gift for: the colleague whose desk is a quietly maintained collection of small thoughtful objects.
