## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality construction
*by D***S on June 27, 2025*

Good quality and fast shipping

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful for all except teas with straight leaves
*by C***D on April 28, 2021*

This works great for loose leaf teas that come in small pieces. I recently bought a green tea that came in straight leaves (meant for a teapot), and I have to squish those down and break them into smaller pieces so that there is enough for how much I want to steep.I use this device to prepare tea for the morning and for my vacuum sealed bottle. The conical mesh focuses water out the tip, so even if I'm pouring hot water around the edges to catch all the leaves, the end result still comes out centered. This is nice.**Note:** This device isn't meant for steeping, but just for pouring hot water over the leaves. This works great for black leaves and rooibos, but I let green leaves sit for a couple minutes after the first pour just to get them to moisten up and draw the flavor to the surface (basically a crude steep). It works fine.I first pour the appropriate temperature hot water through this thing (with my tea of choice) and into a mug, and then I let it sit for a minute or two, place it over the mouth of my vacuum sealed bottle, and pour more water until full. Then I seal the bottle for work, and drink the cup before heading out. So far, this has worked well.**Note:** This is my bottle. Highly recommended for the office worker.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KZ6JZ5F

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does its job
*by A***N on March 4, 2013*

The idea behind this kind of tea strainer is that you use it in conjunction with a tea pot. You put the tea leaves in the pot to steep. After the tea sis ready, set the strainer on top of your mug and pour the tea through it. Ideally, the strainer catches any tea leaves which try to escape from the pot into your cup. Used in this manner, the strainer does its job just fine. I deducted one star because I had to pour the tea a little more slowly and carefully than is my habit. Pouring full speed tended to cause a little bit of backsplash. Otherwise, though, it worked as I'd hoped. It fits all my mugs and cups except for some demitasse cups I wouldn't normally use for tea anyhow.I wouldn't recommend putting tea directly into the strainer and pouring hot water through, like you would with a coffee filter. It might work if you poured VERY slowly and VERY carefully. However, it's not really designed to be used that way. There are better tools for brewing individual cups of tea.
