Know before you buy
Measure the inner diameter of your vessel's opening. You should select a strainer width that is slightly larger than the opening so that the rim rests securely on the edge without falling through.
Yes, the strainer features a fine mesh construction designed to catch even smaller loose leaf particles, ensuring a clean and sediment-free infusion.
While the stainless steel material is durable, we recommend hand washing with warm water and a soft brush to maintain the integrity of the fine mesh and prevent debris from becoming lodged in the weave.
The handle is designed for quick placement and removal. However, if you are steeping for an extended period, the metal may conduct heat, so it is best to use a cloth or handle it carefully.
It is ideal for most standard loose leaf teas, including green, black, and herbal varieties. Because the mesh is fine, it works particularly well for teas with smaller leaf fragments.
