Know before you buy
Yes, the Deep Steep Strainer is designed to rest securely on the rims of most standard and wide-mouth mugs, making it highly versatile for different cup sizes.
The fine-mesh construction is specifically engineered to capture small tea particles and dust, ensuring a clean, sediment-free brew even with finely cut loose-leaf teas.
The deep basket provides extra room for tea leaves to fully expand and unfurl as they rehydrate. This allows for better water circulation, which results in a more balanced and flavorful extraction.
No, the high-quality stainless steel is non-reactive and non-porous. It will not absorb flavors or aromas, ensuring that your delicate green tea won't taste like the bold black tea you brewed previously.
Because of its durable stainless steel construction, the strainer is easy to rinse clean under running water. It is also dishwasher safe for a more thorough cleaning.
