Know before you buy
Yes, the basket infuser design is sized to sit securely within the rim of most standard tea mugs and cups.
Absolutely. The stainless steel mesh is fine enough to hold loose leaf tea, but it is also spacious enough to accommodate larger ingredients like whole spices, dried fruits, or fresh herbs for infusions.
Yes, the durable stainless steel construction is dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean between uses.
Because it lacks a handle, it is designed to rest inside the mug while steeping. You can easily lift it out using a small spoon or by gripping the rim once the tea has cooled slightly.
The mesh is designed for standard loose leaf teas. While it is highly effective for most varieties, very fine dust or fannings may occasionally pass through depending on the specific tea blend.
