I bought this tea infuser because my wife and I love Harneys tea and like to use the loose tea because it is more cost effective. We had been using an infuser that is "spoon" shaped. The spoon shaped infuser worked very poorly because the water could not effectively get to the tea. This infuser works excellent. The mesh is about the size of a golf ball and is very effective at allowing the water to freely travel to the tea. It also seals very tight which prevents any tea from falling into the water. The only drawback is that the infuser needs to be rinsed out right after it is used because if the tea is allowed to dry in the ball then the mesh is harder to clean. This is not a problem as long as you remember to rinse out the infuser before the tea has dried.

I think once you consider the low price, this is five stars based on the value. Makes it very easy to enjoy loose leaf teas without the hassle.

The trick is to use it like a scoop/spoon and make sure no bits of tea leaves are left on the surfaces that end up clamping together when they close. Otherwise, the thing doesn't seal all the way, and lots of bits of tea leak out. But as long as you make sure it closes right, this thing is great.

You sometimes still get a little bit of leakage through the mesh with finer teas, but not enough to really be bothersome.
