Know before you buy
The Monista Tea Infuser Basket is designed with a versatile basket shape that fits most standard-sized mugs and teapots. Its wide-rimmed design allows it to sit securely across the opening of your vessel while brewing.
Once your tea has finished steeping, you can remove the infuser and place it directly onto the lid. This prevents drips on your table or desk and keeps your workspace clean.
The infuser features a medium-fine mesh that is ideal for most loose-leaf teas, including black, green, and herbal varieties. While it works perfectly for standard leaf sizes, very fine tea dust or rooibos may occasionally pass through.
The basket design provides significantly more room for tea leaves to expand fully. This extra space allows for better water circulation, which is essential for optimal flavor extraction and a more balanced cup.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is durable and easy to clean. You can rinse it under warm water after each use or place it in the dishwasher for a deeper clean.
