Classic Tea Infuser | 18/8 Stainless Steel Loose Leaf Tea Steeper & Diffuser | Gift for Him/Her

I have used this product with 4 different tea pots and tea cups. It works well with most of the applications. If I am using long stem tea leaves in a big pot it would not work since I run out of space in the infuser. I like the heavy gauge quality stainless steel and the beauty of the design. The arms project out on sides and is very stable and easy to grab. The tiny holes are essential to keep finely chopped tea leaves from leaking into the tea.

I use this for loose tea and unlike other tea filters this one is especially fine so no particles get through except if there is powder in the blend like turmeric, but that would be expected. If I could change one thing it would be wider wings off the sides because I do have a mug or two with a wider lip where it slips a little. Overall I am pleased. The little steeper hat/ catcher is so convenient. I can take my tea wherever I please while it steeps, pull it out when it’s ready and set it down beside me. Easy and clean. I noticed while searching for this product other steepers with rubber or plastic coating on the metal & while I did not want the coating after using this for a few months I realize why it would be a nice feature. The metal is very hot, so you have to be careful when lifting the steeping cap off, pulling the steeper out of your mug once it’s been sitting in hot water, and what surface you set it down on.

I love this tea infuser by Vahdam. It really upped my tea game. Now I buy loose tea and drop a teaspoon of black tea into the infuser, set it in my mug and fill with boiling water. 4 minutes later, lift out the infuser, set it on the handy lid, and perfect tea. Buying loose tea me saves money. A green scrubby sponge and sink sprayer gets all the little particles out - no worries. This is going to be stocking stuffer and gift basket regular. Love it!

This strainer is amazing looking. They must have used a laser to drill the hundreds (thousands ?) of miniscule holes. I bought this tea strainer because I didn't want to have to buy "cold brew" tea bags. I'm not a hot tea drinker. I like my tea cold with ice and fresh lemon juice. So it seems like a waste of energy to boil water and then make it cold again. I figured with this strainer I could drop in it a pitcher of water. But the top just rests loosely on the strainer. No doubt it would come loose in the pitcher, and the tea would float around. The first batch I made, I held the top on with a rubber band. It worked but I don't like the idea of rubber in my tea. I will try nylon thread. I believe this strainer was designed to sit in a cup of hot water. Probably works fine for that.

Fits on my mug and the tea leaves don’t come out into the liquid.

Much classier than other strainers I’ve used. I appreciate the very fine screening and with it open on the top when it’s in your tea, you can lift and reset it to get your tea as dark as you want. I’m using it on green teas, which are very light anyway, but I like a strong flavor. I definitely recommend this one.

I’ve been using this tea strainer just about every day. It works well and it’s pretty easy to clean. After one year of use, though, it now comes apart with the slightest pressure.

I love this tea infuser/steeper. It gets the job done. I recently started drinking looseleaf tea on a consistent basis, and my friend (the one who makes the looseleaf tea!) highly recommended that I invest in a steeper. I'm glad I went with this one. It came in a cute green box and it was well packaged, so I would highly recommend this product as a gift. It is really easy to use. Now, as far as cleaning the steeper goes, while it is not hard to clean I would recommend getting the looseleaf tea out as soon as possible. If the looseleaf tea sits, in my experience, it has been a little challenging to get the herbs out. That does not stop me though, and it shouldn't stop you either. If you are looking for a steeper, I recommend this one. Pretty good value for the price!

Very well crafted tea infuser that allows enough space for tea leaves to bloom. Unlike the ball infusers which compact the leaves. The cover is too cute and is perfect for resting the infuser after infusing and catching any leaky liquid. Fits together well and seems built to last a lifetime. The mesh holes are superfine so one thing is this prevents the last few drops of water to drain out after lifting the infuser out of the cup. Rubbing a finger on the outside bottom edge helps break the surface tension and the water drains out then. Not a big issue but if you're super particular about every last drop getting out like me this helps. Waiting to explore the range of good tea now!

Perfect all round, not plastic, will survive dishwashing, have a long life and be recyclable The holes are very fine

It has everything I wanted in a tea strainer: it is very well designed, nice looking, the mesh is so fine that you can barely see it; I had to double check by pouring water into it :) It comes with a lid that you can use as a coaster to put it in once you take it out of the cup! Excellent! My only gripe: I wish the handles were a 1/8" longer. The exact measurement is 3.75"; It fits a regular mug (see photo 1) very well but for a 4" mug it barely catches the edges (photo 2), so if you are not careful, the handle will slip.

Perfect for loose leaf as well as tea bags.

Se ve de calidad. Infusiona bien, no se cuelan restos de hoja, y más fácil de limpiar que los de malla.
