What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the MEM TEA strainer for its exceptional aesthetic appeal, noting the elegant contrast between the matte black body and gold accents elevates the tea ritual. This design makes it a highly favored accessory and gift item. Functionally, users appreciate the ample basket size, which allows leaves to unfurl fully for proper infusion, and the effective filtration for medium to large leaf teas. While generally easy to clean, some minor sediment passes through with very fine teas. The premium price is largely justified by its superior visual quality and sophisticated status, though some users suggest hand washing to protect the gold finish long term.
Know before you buy
Yes. The super fine mesh is specifically designed to catch small particles, making it an excellent choice for rooibos and finely cut herbal blends that often slip through standard strainers.
The lid is designed to sit on top of the strainer to trap heat and aromatics during the steeping process. It is not a locking lid, so it should be used while the mug is stationary.
The basket is quite spacious and can hold approximately 7 scoops of tea. This allows plenty of room for large-leaf teas to fully expand and release their flavor.
The strainer features a narrow base designed to fit snugly into the majority of standard-sized mugs. Its dimensions are 4" x 3" x 3.5", so it is compatible with most everyday drinkware.
The strainer is fully dishwasher safe and built for regular use. However, to maintain the luster of the gold finish over time, hand washing is a gentle alternative that can help preserve the aesthetic.
