Know before you buy
Yes. The extra-fine mesh is specifically designed to capture small tea particles, making it suitable for fine-cut loose leaf teas and rooibos that might otherwise escape standard strainers.
Since this item is not dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush to gently clear any trapped leaves from the mesh to maintain its performance.
The infuser is designed for rim resting, so it works best with standard-sized mugs. Ensure your mug has a rim width that allows the ball to sit securely without falling through.
This infuser is made of stainless steel, but it is not rust-resistant. To prolong its lifespan, be sure to dry the infuser and the drip tray thoroughly after every use rather than letting them air dry while damp.
The drip tray provides a clean place to set the infuser once your tea has finished steeping. It prevents tea stains and liquid from dripping onto your desk or countertop.
