This is perfect

I bought the tea strainer specifically for my husband. He drinks tea multiple times a day but got very frustrated with the tea “ball” we had. It was hard to empty and refill. This is so perfect and makes the perfect cup of tea! I may have to get another one for myself. Thank you

Lovely tea strainer

The tea strainer is sturdy and does a pretty good job of keeping herb sediment out of the tea. Always happy with Farmhouse Teas!

Great Purchase

I bought this strainer after owning a few smaller ball type of tea diffusers. I found the smaller ones harder to clean. This bigger strainer is wonderful. It is easy to clean and great if you want to make a stronger cup of tea, the holes are a nice size and keep the smaller bits from sneaking out. I also like that you can use the lid to set your strainer on while you are drinking your tea.

quality product

I ordered this tea strainer as part of a birthday present for my daughter who is exploring different loose leaf teas. I wanted her to have a quality product as I have ordered other tea strainers which disappointed me in the construction of the strainer. She will definitely enjoy this with the teas I also ordered for her birthday!

best tea strainer

I have used many tea strainers and this one is the best by far. It is easy to clean and use. I don't have to worry about it coming apart and it is fine enough that I don't get pieces of the tea in my cup. it very sturdy and I will get many years of use from this tea strainer. I love that is it is open and just sets in my cup, very convenient. I have thrown away the rest of my tea strainers.

Perfect strainer that fits over a normal mug. Washes up great in the dishwasher. It's fine mesh keeps everything in place. I like how the cover acts as a holder for the strainer while I am enjoying my cup of tea!

Perfect

The tea infuser gift was a wonderful surprise and a timely addition! My wife had just brought home several colorful Haitian Clay Mugs she found at the Thrift Store, and since they are all hand made the size of the rim varies from cup to cup. The tea infusers we have aren’t quite wide enough for some of these mugs, so the one you included in my most recent shipment was perfect! The design of that infuser allows some larger mug sizes!

Tea Strainer

The tea strainer works great especially if you have a large cup of tea. Just wish it was a little easier to clean. Little tea leaves get stuck in it. Comes out good in dishwasher but I use it everyday.

Stainless Steal strainer with lid

This strainer works great to keep loose particles from floating in your freshly brewed tea! It works great and when brew is done placing the lid upside down acts as a bowl, catching drips from the strainer while you take time to enjoy your tea.

I love it!

I have two now and I need more. They are so nice when everyone wants a different tea!

So easy

We've used the clasped-ball style of strainer before, and I love that this allows me to brew two cups of tea at a time of different flavors. The size of this strainer allows for a whole pot to be strongly brewed, and is much easier than using the ball style. A win!
