Know before you buy
The fabric filter is exceptionally fine, which allows it to catch smaller tea particles that often slip through standard metal mesh. This results in a noticeably clearer infusion without the risk of clogging or flow backups.
Yes, natural clay is slightly porous. While it won't drastically alter the flavor of your tea, it may develop a light seasoning over time if you use it exclusively for one type of tea, such as Puer or Oolong.
Simply rinse the strainer under warm water after each use. Avoid using soap or putting it in the dishwasher, as the clay can absorb cleaning agents and the fabric filter requires a gentle touch.
Because this strainer is crafted from natural clay, variations in color and texture are inherent to the material. Each piece is unique, reflecting the natural characteristics of the earth used in its creation.
Yes, the matching clay stand is designed specifically to hold the conical strainer securely. It keeps your tea table clean by catching any remaining drips after you have finished pouring.
