Numola Long Handle Tea Ball Stainless Steel with Drip Trays, 4Pcs Premium Tea Infuser Filter for Loose Leaf Tea, Reusable Fine Mesh Tea Interval Diffuser Strainer for Cup and Teapot

Nice and Easy to use, size is good for a mixture of different teas. Stainless steel of good quality. Long handle doesn’t get too hot.

I'm not a tea drinker -- I fill these with flour to sprinkle on the counter before I roll out dough and the other one is for sprinkling powdered sugar on top of desserts. They are fabulous for this!

I love these. I have arthritis in my smart hand, and these are really easy to empty and clean. A few taps against my palm and then a quick rinse is all it generally needs. For those saying it's too hard to clean, or that the tea comes out: A) Are you new? These balls couldn't be EASIER to clean... and I have arthritis AND doing dishes sucks so I avoid it at all costs. Cleaning my balls takes just a few minutes, honest! And 2: if the tea you're using is coming out of the holes, you're not steeping tea, you're trying to steep leftover "shake".. tea garbage. Try some real, whole leaf or whole herb tea. Otherwise, make sure nothing is stuck in the rims of each side of your ball. Drying your balls before you put tea in em is advisable, too. Best balls ever, hands down. They work so well, and make making my tea so easy now. I honestly drink twice as much! Ima order like 4 more, just to have em. Just in case, you know? Affordable, too. They'd make a nice gift in a tea-themed prize or gift.

I’ve only had this for a day, but it is going to be my new go-to for making loose leaf tea. Here’s what it does well: 1) the seal is tight. When it’s closed, it’s closed. There’s no gap between the two halves and therefore no leakage or spillage of tea leaves into your drink. My other tea ball that opens sideways when you grip it, has a closing force not as strong and tea leaves fall into the water. Not with this one. 2) The holes are very small. You only get the smallest of particles, or tea dust, in your brew which is negligible. Here’s what’s a little awkward: filling it with tea. Since the halves of the ball separate on the top and bottom, it’s a little tricky to fill with loose leaf tea. You could stick it into your container and press and release to scoop, but I think you’d end up with leaves stuck between the two halves. For now, I just carefully pour into the bottom half. This also makes cleaning a little difficult. Regardless, this is a great tool for steeping tea. It’s easy and there’s no leaking of tea leaves.

These tea balls are a nice idea but hard to use. Clumsy to fill, don't close very tightly so there are "floaties" in my tea, and they are fussy to clean. They are attractive but not practical for me.

I’ve been using the Numola Long Handle Tea Ball set (2 pieces) for a few weeks now and I’m enjoying the ease and convenience it brings to my tea time. These stainless steel infusers are pretty easy to use, by pushing the top to open, filling them with your favorite loose tea leaves, floral leaves, or anything you’d like to infuse, finally place it in your mug and pour hot water over it. Done! The spring inside makes opening/ closing ighly convenient. Tbh I was initially worried about it getting rustysoon but even after multiple dishwasher cycles they’ve held up beautifully. Comes out shiny as new every time! The only issue is cleaning out the used tea, it can settle at the bottom if u don't immediately clean it. There’s a brush included to achieve that but you need to keep the top pressed with one hand to keep it open while cleaning with the other which can be a bit awkward. Nonetheless, I’m pleased with the overall steel quality, functionality and ease of this product!

These infusers work great for making herbal (white horehound) tea. Saves the trouble of straining the finished tea.

Quality: 1/5 I was really excited to try this tea steamer, but unfortunately, it didn't meet expectations. The material feels flimsy, and the overall build quality is disappointing. After just a few uses, I noticed parts of it started to lose their shape and functionality, making it difficult to use. The handle feels weak, and the steamer doesn’t stay securely attached to the teapot as it should. Design: 1/5 The design is quite awkward, and it doesn’t seem well thought out. The spout tends to dribble, which makes pouring the tea a bit messy. The steamer mesh itself doesn’t seem to allow water to flow through evenly, which leads to unevenly brewed tea. It’s also a bit harder to clean than expected, with tea leaves often getting stuck in the mesh. Functionality: 1/5 The primary function of a tea steamer is to help brew loose leaf tea easily, but this one doesn’t do that at all. It tends to either under-steam or over-steam the tea, leaving the flavor off. The steamer mesh clogs easily, which only adds to the frustration. It’s supposed to be a simple process, but using this has made tea time more of a hassle than a relaxing experience. Value for Money: 1/5 Considering the issues with the quality and functionality, this tea steamer isn’t worth the price. It performs poorly, and I feel like I wasted my money. There are much better options out there that are more durable and effective for the same or even lower price. Overall: 1/5 This tea steamer missed the mark completely. From its flimsy construction to its poor performance, it just doesn't do what it's supposed to do. I would not recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a nice, hassle-free cup of tea. Save your money and look for a better alternative

Good for all kinds of loose tea but not as easy to empty after use

These work well, even for finer teas! I've been using them for months now, and they still hold tension and stay closed while steeping. The best I've found so far for loose tea.

98% perfect. Exactly what it should be. It says a long handle but I expected it to be about two inches longer

This is more for a pot of tea than a cup, way too big for cups of tea. Good quality.

Looks good but find it hard to fill and clean up. Loose tea still seems to escape.
