Know before you buy
Gently rinse the leaf under warm running water to remove tea leaves. Avoid using soap or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the delicate natural fibers of the leaf.
Because the strainer features a coarse mesh, it is best suited for whole-leaf teas. Very fine particles like rooibos or dust-grade tea may pass through the natural veins.
With proper care and gentle handling, the Bodhi leaf is durable enough to last for several weeks of regular daily use. Because it is a natural, organic material, it will eventually biodegrade and require replacement.
No, the Bodhi leaf is uncoated and natural, meaning it will not impart any foreign flavors or chemicals into your brew. It is designed to provide a neutral, organic straining experience.
After rinsing, allow the leaf to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Storing it while damp can shorten its lifespan, so ensure it is fully dry before putting it away.
