This microfine stainless steel filter sits in mug or tea pot to brew any loose tea. We found these at the World Tea Expo and tell all our beloved tea guests about it. Once you have one, you won't know how you lived without it! You'll never use tea bags again. This is the Large Filter. The large filter width is 2 5/8 inches and the height is 3 7/8 inches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best tea strainer ever made, August 12, 2009

This review is from: Finum Teeli - Permanent Tea Filter - Large for Tea Pots

The large size is still small enough to fit into a standard-issue coffee cup, and basically makes a bathtub for your tea leave to swim in while they're brewing.

Much better than the spoon version like this Norpro Grip-EZ Tea Infuser With Cup, or the over the cup with handle versions like this Norpro Decorative Tea Strainer with Cup. The spoon doesn't allow the tea leaves to drift about, and the handled baskets I'm always knocking over.

The mesh size on this strainer is also so fine that the finest loose herb tea (my personal fave, Desert Sage Tea by Republic of Tea Desert Sage Tea by The Republic of Tea - 2.8 oz loose) won't sift through the mesh and into your brew.

Pros:
Fine mesh
Sturdy while brewing
Comes with lid to keep hot while brewing and to refrigerate once-used tea leaves for a second brewing

Cons:
Might not fit your particular teacup/pot. But I doubt it! If you're worried, they have a smaller size. =)

This tea filter eliminates any tea debris from my morning cup. Easy to clean and durable. Turn the lid upside down to hold the filter as it is brought out of the mug. Medium can be used for 2-4 person tea pots as well as a mug. Large is perfect for large tea pots.

5.0 out of 5 stars How did I make tea without it?, November 22, 2009

This review is from: Finum Teeli - Permanent Tea Filter - Large for Tea Pots

I purchased my first Finum Tea filter from a lovely tea shop in Vermont, at the recommendation of the shop owner. I found it so easy to use & clean that I bought more for Christmas gifts & another for myself. I have both the large & medium. The medium size is better for most of my mugs, and the large is good for pots of tea & travel mugs. I have used other tea filters, and haven't found any that work as well as the Finum. Some filters have holes that are too large & allow bits of tea to end up in the bottom of your cup, while others have holes that are so small that you have to pour water in very slowly so it won't overflow. If you are a fan of loose tea, I highly recommend this product!
