Know before you buy
The basket-style design is best suited for medium to large leaf teas. Very fine, dusty tea particles may pass through the mesh, so it is recommended for whole-leaf varieties.
Since this item is not dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing it with warm water and mild soap after each use. A soft brush can help clear any tea leaves stuck in the corners of the star shape.
No, this model does not include a lid or a stand. You will need a small saucer or a paper towel nearby to place the infuser on once you remove it from your mug.
Yes, the compact star design is compatible with most standard-sized mugs. Because it lacks a handle, ensure your mug is not too deep so you can easily retrieve the infuser once your tea has finished steeping.
While the infuser is made of durable stainless steel, it is not specifically treated to be rust-resistant. To maintain its condition, be sure to dry it thoroughly immediately after washing rather than letting it air dry.
