Description

Loose tea and spices stay sealed inside a fine 304 stainless mesh, so your cup and your pot come out clean. Fill it, close the hinged rim, and hang it on the pot rim while it works. Three sizes cover a mug, a teapot or a stew pot.

Keeps tea leaves and spices contained, so no loose bits in your pot or cup

Solves
  • loose tea leaves or spice fragments floating in drinks
  • difficult straining of slag from soups and stews
  • messy cleanup after brewing

Keep every leaf and spice where it belongs

Tired of loose tea floating in your cup and bits of slag in your soup? This fine 304 stainless mesh holds leaves and spices fully contained, so your drinks and pots come out clean.

Fine mesh that keeps grit where it belongs

Fine mesh that holds the fragments

Tight 304 stainless mesh keeps tea dust and small spice bits inside the ball. Open-mouth balls let fine particles drift out with every dunk, and cheap strainers let them through entirely. Fill it to about two-thirds and the mesh does the rest.

Hinged rim that seals shut

The clamshell hinge closes the mesh around the leaves, so nothing spills while you drop it in or lift it out. Close it once and it stays closed through the whole steep.

Hangs on the pot out of the broth

The hook and chain let the ball steep while it hangs above the bottom of the pot, so spices do not scorch on the base. If you already own a , this one holds more and seals better.

The numbers behind the mesh

  • 304stainless steel grade
  • 3sizes available
  • 9 cmlargest outer width
  • 13 gweight of smallest size

Fill, close, drop, and hang in seconds

  1. 1
    Fill to two-thirds

    Add loose tea or whole spices and leave room for the leaves to open. Overfilling stops the rim from closing.

  2. 2
    Close the hinged rim

    Press the clamshell shut until it seats evenly all the way around.

  3. 3
    Drop it in and hang it

    Lower the ball into your mug, or hang the hook over the rim of a pot so it stays above the bottom.

  4. 4
    Lift out and rinse

    Pull it out when the flavor is right, rinse under the tap and let it air dry before storing.

The grit in every cup

Every pot of loose tea leaves something behind. Leaves drift into your mug, then settle on your tongue and between your teeth. Stews are worse: a spoonful of broth catches a shard of star anise or a crushed peppercorn, and the whole bite is ruined.

The fix that holds

A fine 304 stainless mesh ball with a hinged rim holds the tea or spices and drops straight into the pot or mug. The mesh is tight enough to keep fragments in, and the hook and chain hang it from the rim so it stays out of the broth. Lift it out and rinse it in seconds.

What to expect as you use it

  1. First use
    Cleaner first cup

    Brew a loose-leaf tea and notice that the leaves stay inside the mesh. Lift it out and see how little residue is left in your cup.

  2. 3 uses
    Cleanup becomes routine

    After a few brews the rinse turns into a habit. Most of the leftover leaf comes out with one quick run under the tap.

  3. 30 days
    Weekend stews stay clear

    Use it for spices and herbs in soups and braises over a month. Straining takes less effort on busy cooking days.

A quick rinse and it is ready again

  • Rinse after each brew

    Empty the mesh and run it under the tap while the leaves are still soft.

  • Air dry before storing

    Leave the hinge open so moisture does not stay trapped.

  • Do not leave wet leaves in

    Damp tea left overnight can stain the steel and leave a stale smell.

Questions and answers

Which size fits my mug or pot rim?
w
Wanelo · seller

The three sizes run from 5 cm to 9 cm wide, with heights of 3.5 cm, 5.5 cm and 7 cm. The 5 cm version suits a single mug, and the 9 cm version holds a generous handful of leaves or a bundle of whole spices for a pot. The hook hangs from the rim of the pot or mug you already use.

Will fine tea dust and small spice bits get through the mesh?
w
Wanelo · seller

The 304 stainless mesh is tight enough to hold tea dust and crushed peppercorn fragments. Fill it to about two-thirds so the leaves have room and the rim closes fully.

Does the hook and chain stay secure in a hot pot?
w
Wanelo · seller

Check the links once before you hang it. The chain is attached to the rim, and 304 stainless is a standard food-contact grade that handles hot liquid without trouble.

Is it worth paying more than a basic tea ball or cheesecloth?
w
Wanelo · seller

One steel piece replaces the paper bags and single-use cheesecloth that you buy and throw away. Used daily for tea or weekend stews, the cost per brew drops fast, and the mesh does not wear out the way a torn bag does.

Can I use it for whole spices and herbal infusions?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. Star anise, peppercorns, bay leaves, chamomile and mint all work. For soups, pair it with a and hang it so it stays out of the broth.
