Know before you buy
The mesh design is effective for most standard loose leaf teas. However, if you are brewing very fine, dust-like particles, some sediment may pass through the mesh.
These strainers are easy to maintain. Simply empty the used tea leaves into your compost, rinse the filter under warm water, and let it air dry. They are also dishwasher safe for a deeper clean.
Yes, the 5 cm diameter provides sufficient room for most standard tea leaves to unfurl and release their full flavor profile. It is perfectly sized for a single-cup steep.
The 5 cm round shape is versatile and fits most standard mugs and teapots. The short handle design is specifically intended for easy retrieval from standard-sized cups.
No, high-quality stainless steel is non-reactive and food-safe. It will not impart any metallic flavor into your tea, ensuring you taste only the leaves.
