What is the coating on the One Cup Infuser made out of?Updated 2 months ago

 Both gold and silver infusers are made of the same materials. They are made of 18/8 food-grade stainless steel which is 100% non-toxic, rust and corrosion-proof. 

Both infusers have a titanium PVD coating that is 100% food-safe and non-toxic. This PVD coating is what gives the gold infuser its color, but both infusers have this PVD coating.

PVD technology is commonly used throughout the food industry and is even used for medical implants. It is completely safe and inert. These coatings do not react chemically with food or alter its taste. PVD coatings provide excellent durability, making them resistant to scratching, tarnishing, and corrosion. This stable and intact coating prevents any potential interaction between the infuser and the tea, ensuring that no harmful substances or metal flavor are released into the tea.
