Description

Loose tea and dried flowers steep right in your cup, and the leaves stay in the basket. A square fine mesh of 304 stainless steel sits on a spring-hinged handle, and the rim hook keeps it off the table. Rinse it, hang it, and the next cup comes out clean.

Fine 304 stainless steel mesh tea strainer that steeps loose tea and herbs directly in your cup, with a rim hook for storage

Solves
  • loose leaves floating in the cup
  • no good place to rest a wet infuser
  • tea bags are wasteful
  • hard-to-clean infusers

Loose tea, steeped right in your cup, no floating leaves

Before: stray leaves on every sip and a soggy infuser with nowhere to rest. After: a fine stainless basket holds the leaves while a rim hook keeps it off the table.

Loose leaves stay in the basket

Fine mesh holds loose leaves

The woven screen is tight enough to keep dried tea and herbs inside the basket instead of drifting into your cup. Fill it about halfway so the leaves have room to open, and the water moves through them evenly. The mesh rinses clean under the tap after every cup.

Rim hook rests on your cup

The hook ring sits on the rim so the wet basket stays off the table and out of the tea. It suits wide mugs and narrower cups alike, as long as the rim is even. The basket rests above the liquid until you lift it out.

Spring hinge in 304 steel

The handle is polished 304 stainless with a spring hinge you can feel open and close. The joints are neat and the metal stays cool and smooth in the hand. Load the leaves, close the basket, and it holds its shape cup after cup.

From scoop to clean cup in minutes

  1. 1
    Load the basket

    Open the spring hinge and add loose tea or dried flowers until the basket is about half full. Leave room for the leaves to open.

  2. 2
    Hook it on the rim

    Set the ring on the rim of your mug so the basket hangs inside the cup. Check that the hook sits on an even rim before you pour.

  3. 3
    Steep

    Pour hot water over the leaves and let them steep to your taste. Lift the basket out when the cup is as strong as you want it.

  4. 4
    Rinse the mesh

    Shake off the leaves and rinse the mesh under running water. Clear mesh keeps the next cup as clean as the first.

Questions and answers

Will the fine mesh clog or slow the steep?
w
Wanelo · seller

Not with loose leaf in normal amounts. The screen is tight enough to hold tea and dried flowers, but water moves through it freely when the leaves have room. Fill the basket about halfway and rinse it after each use. Dried-on residue is what slows a basket down, and a quick rinse clears it.

Is a 4.5 cm basket big enough for a real serving?
w
Wanelo · seller

For one mug, yes. The basket is 4.5 cm square, which holds a generous scoop of loose leaf or a small handful of dried flowers. For a full pot, load a second basket, the same way you would with any single-cup infuser.

Does the rim hook fit different cup and mug sizes?
w
Wanelo · seller

It suits wide mugs and narrower cups alike, as long as the rim is even. Set the hook on a steady edge and check that it sits level before you pour. A loose hook on a thin or uneven rim is the one fit issue to avoid.

Is 304 stainless worth more than a cheap infuser or a box of tea bags?
w
Wanelo · seller

Over a year of daily tea, one stainless basket replaces a steady stream of paper bags and cheap mesh that clogs and gets thrown out. 304 stainless is a corrosion-resistant grade that holds up to everyday rinsing. Compared with a from a drawer of cheap mesh, you pay once and keep using it.

Can I use it for dried flowers and herbal blends too?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. Dried rose buds and loose herbal blends sit well in the basket. Keep the pieces small so they do not bunch against the mesh, and the water passes through evenly.
