What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this tea infuser for its exceptional aesthetic appeal and perceived luxury. The elegant gold stainless steel design elevates it beyond a simple tool, making it a sophisticated accessory and excellent gift. Reviewers frequently highlight the high quality suggested by the robust construction. Functionally, the fine mesh effectively contains loose leaves, minimizing sediment. A minor point of friction involves the clasp mechanism, which some users find stiff, occasionally causing slight leakage. While the initial quality is excellent, some express mild concern regarding the long term durability of the gold plating with heavy use. Overall, the product successfully merges premium design with practical utility for an elevated tea experience.
Know before you buy
Yes, the mesh ball construction is designed to contain most standard loose-leaf varieties. However, if you are using a very fine tea dust or rooibos, you may experience minor sediment in your cup.
The gold finish is applied to durable stainless steel, making it resistant to standard wear. To maintain the luster of the finish, we recommend avoiding abrasive scrubbers during cleaning.
The infuser measures 7.25 inches in length, which provides enough reach to lift the mesh ball out of most standard-sized mugs. We recommend using the top portion of the stem to lift it out once the tea has finished steeping.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is fully dishwasher safe. It is a durable, low-maintenance accessory that stands up well to regular cycles.
The mesh ball has a diameter of 2 inches. It will fit comfortably in most standard mugs, but it may be too wide for travel mugs with narrow openings.
