Loose tea that stays out of your cup
Tired of fishing soggy leaves out of your mug? This polished stainless star hangs on the rim, holds your leaves, and leaves you with a clean sip.
A star-shaped basket that keeps leaves in their place

A star that holds the leaves
The basket is covered in fine perforations. Loose leaves stay inside the star while the water passes through, so you get a full steep without grit on your tongue. If you already own a stainless steel tea strainer, this one swaps the drip for a basket that stays where you put it.

Hangs on the rim, stays put
The long chain ends in a hook that sits over the lip of your mug. The star hangs at the right depth, so you do not have to hold it or fish it out with a spoon. Lift it out by the chain when the tea is ready.

Polished 304 stainless
304 stainless steel with a polished chrome finish and an embossed moon face. The hinged buckle snaps shut with a clear click, and the metal stays cool and solid in the hand.

Questions and answers
The basket is compact, so it suits a single cup of loose leaf rather than a large teapot load. Fill it partway so the leaves can open up and the buckle closes cleanly. For a bigger batch, use two steeps.
The hook sits over the lip of the mug and the basket hangs at a fixed depth. It is most secure on a rim that is even and sturdy. Avoid very thin or uneven edges, where the basket can tilt.
Open the buckle and rinse the basket under warm water right after brewing. Fine leaf dust clears fastest when it is still wet. A soft brush helps if anything sticks in the perforations.
The star is made from 304 stainless steel, a common grade for food contact tools and drinkware.
Yes. Most tea strainers drip and sit in the cup. This one is a playful, hands-free basket with a face and a chain, so it reads as a new tool, not a duplicate. Pair it with a favorite loose tea tin for a complete gift.
