Know before you buy
Yes, the Finum Infuser Basket is designed to fit most standard mugs and teapots. Its wide-rimmed design allows it to sit securely on the edge of your vessel while the basket hangs deep enough for proper steeping.
No, the mesh is heat-treated to be flavor-neutral. It ensures that no metallic taste is imparted into your tea, preserving the integrity of even the most delicate green or white tea leaves.
Once your tea has finished steeping, you can remove the basket and place it directly onto the inverted lid. The lid catches any remaining liquid, preventing tea stains or mess on your table or counter.
The high-quality stainless steel mesh is fine enough to filter out most loose leaf teas, including smaller broken-leaf varieties. However, if you are brewing very fine tea dust or rooibos, you may still see a small amount of sediment.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is durable and dishwasher safe. For the best results and to prevent tea oils from building up over time, we recommend a quick rinse after each use.
