Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This fine-mesh, stainless steel tea infuser was specially designed to use with porcelain teapots. Simply fill it with loose tea, lift the teapot's lid, and insert the infuser before replacing the lid. The handle is designed to rest on the pot's brim while the lid, in turn, rests on the handle. The wooden tip on the handle stays cool to the touch. The infuser should be hand-washed with soapy water. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Our stainless steel infuser brews and strains loose leaf tea, while the cup catches drips before they hit the table, linens or counter. Extended lip rests the infuser over cup or pot.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a STRAINER not a BREWER, people, June 17, 2008

Don't pay attention to the reviewers who think that you brew tea in a tea strainer. You don't cook spaghetti in a spaghetti strainer. This is a tea strainer, made for pour loose leaf brews through AFTER you have brewed your tea, so that you don't wind up with leaves in your cup. This works great for Turkish Coffee as well.

So, basically you DO NOT place loose leaves in the wire mesh and pour hot water through it. Place the loose leaves in the hot water and brew them in the tea pot. Pour the tea that you have brewed to your taste through the strainer and into the cup and catch the loose leaves.

This is a well made strainer, and for $4 you can't go wrong.... I use it to catch any stray coffee grounds that may make it out of my french press while decanting. It works perfectly for that purpose.

I love this strainer for single cups of tea and I especially like the little cup to hold the strainer. It's just perfect. This is practical, of a good quality and priced well. At Amazon's price I have bought several so each cup in the service has its own.
