Know before you buy
Yes, the rim-resting design is engineered to sit securely across the opening of most standard-sized mugs and teapots, providing a stable base for brewing.
The strainer features a fine mesh construction designed to effectively capture small loose-leaf tea particles, ensuring a clean, sediment-free cup.
To maintain the luster of the silver-plated finish, we recommend hand washing the strainer with mild soap and drying it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents that could scratch or tarnish the surface.
Absolutely. The deep basket provides ample room for whole-leaf teas to fully unfurl and expand, which is essential for extracting the complete flavor profile of high-quality loose-leaf varieties.
The rim is designed to remain cool to the touch even while the basket is submerged. You can easily lift the strainer by its outer rim once your steeping time is complete.
