Questions & Answers

Is it made in the U.S.? Would you please accept my thanks?

The product is made in China.

The mesh is fine enough to catch rooibos, is it not? Are the grounds from a percolator caught by the filter?

In my experience, the mesh is pretty fine. I don't use rooibos so I can't answer that question, but so far none of the loose leaves have caused me any trouble. The leaves I have are black tea. I do not have a percolator, but I think once I have a drip coffee maker, it will capture the grounds.

Can I store the extra tea unstrained in the pot as it sits over a tea warmer when I am ready to pour it as it sits over a tea warmer?

As far as I am aware, I have not had any trouble with this, I guess it depends on the tea and the length of time you plan to leave it in the pot. Using a tea pot and strainer is the only way to properly brew tea.

What is the state of rust on this?

My clothes don't seem to get really moist even if I normally dry them right after washing them. There have been times when I let it air dry, but there have been no signs of

It comes with its own saucer and is perfect for tea
5/5

Tea strainers like this one are great. When I pour tea from the teapot into a preheated thermal carafe, I use mine to strain out the loose tea I put into the teapot. I am able to keep hot tea readily available throughout the day with the help of this strainer which fits my thermal carafe perfectly. In order to catch any drips from the strained tea leaves inside the strainer, I can place it in its own saucer when I'm finished straining. To preheat my Harold Import Co, I turn it on. This product (Amazon) comes in 75 oz and 12 packs In addition to a 6 cup teapot, I placed my Pykal Stainless Steel 68 oz "Thermal Coffee Carafe (Amazon), with boiling water nearby. After that, I cook my tea in a third kettle of alkaline PH water. However, I did purchase an extra fine mesh tea infuser to fit my teapot (House Again Extra Fine Mesh Tea Infuser - 5-pk. A Strainer Empress fits perfectly in the neck of this carafe, and fits nothing else Thank you for being so patient with me). Is there really that much to worry about? The 68 oz of hot, immune-boosting syrup is just exactly what I needed today A boosting, great tasting spiced turmeric tea is convenient for me all day long, without having to reheat, rebrew, etc. Another tea drinker on Amazon got me thinking about putting tea directly into the pot - It has worked out great! I appreciate your kind words! In addition to fitting on top of most tea cups and mugs, the strainer is also very simple to use.

The strainer is very nice
5/5

With this, I am able to apply a beautiful image. I have used this for every cup I own except for those that come in wide mouthed cup-shaped cups at a coffee shop that might hold a huge foamy cappuccino. That would be way too wide. The sieve sits lightly on my tiny japanese tea cups, looks beautiful with my fancy china tea cups, and works well with my everyday coffee mugs. The mesh is very fine, but some tiny pieces of tea still make their way through. As an example, lychee oolong tea made by my husband has some tiny black flecks at the bottom of the cup because it is super fine. I don't find this to be an issue with good tea leaves, nor does it take away from seeing the pleasure of a cup of tea. For the most part, Roobios, maté, and herbals have been large enough to catch in the strainer, as well as greens, blacks, and most roobios. It doesn't bother me much if there are a few small flecks, so I haven't been overly concerned. On one oolong, however, I was particularly aware of it. This strainer sits on a dish in a stylish way on the table and prevents messes perfectly with its attractive design. It should be noted that this is not a device Designed to catch loose leaf tea as you pour it from a pot into your mug, this spout catches it on the way to your The bag is not necessary if the tea is bagged. Both of my teapots can be used with it On one, there is a large holed strainer built in that lets smaller leaves pass through, and on the other, there is no strainer whatsoever. My strainer has been running perfectly since I have owned it for about a month. I can't imagine being disappointed in the near It's only that I didn't order it sooner that makes me regret it. It's been a long time since I wanted it!.

The old one should be thrown away! As regular hot tea drinkers, my daughter and I were very pleased to learn that a new tea place had opened up in our neighborhood
5/5

This strainer was used on their porcelain teapots and they also have nice white porcelain teapots. This was the book we loved and we searched for it on Amazon, so until now, we had been pouring tea made with loose leaves through a solid metal version of this strainer, which had perforations drilled into it like a mote spoon, with great patience. Tea took a long time to pour and, if you poured it too quickly, the strainer would overflood. As such, we poured slowly, which was okay since teatime is about With this new strainer from China, we can pour quickly without fiddling with the pot. We have replaced our old strainer from India that took a long time to pour with this new one from China. like it a lot! In general, the mesh is quite fine enough for any size tea leaves, unless you are brewing tea These handles are similar to the ones on our vintage strainer, and are actually quite attractive. There are no gaps in the base, and the entire surface is rust proof stainless steel.

The system is very effective
5/5

I could strain my loose tea when I finished brewing it in my teapot with this strainer. The way I usually use it is on a mug, since I like to drink a nice cup Although some people noted that it won't fit on wider tea cups, that would not be a concern. I use my tea strainer that has a longer handle to strain tea after it has been brewed in a teapot. Just holding it under the teapot spout, over the cup would work too, just as I would my shorter tea strainer. You won't be able to put it on the cup and brew tea, instead it will be used to strain tea.

Here we are at tea time
5/5

Suitable for both an antique tea cup and a basic mug, this strainer is just large enough. Making loose tea easier to pour is definitely a benefit of this. This nifty little strainer has been a gift from my British friends to me.

With this tea strainer, it is easy to strain loose brewed tea around your mug
5/5

It fits right on top of the mug, so you can brew loose tea in the pot with no problem. During the tea preparation, the loose tea is caught in the strainer before it is poured into the cup. It's that simple! The solution I recommend is so easy and so inexpensive to make that I have tried so many available varieties of tea balls.

The hotel has excellent and attractive facilities in every way Wet strainer for the day
5/5

I use it a lot to strain my Honeybush tea for my children, and it is great for the price. The mesh is fine enough to strain the tea very well. In addition to all the cups and mugs I own, and even the heavy canning jar that I drink copious amounts of green tea from, the wings sit comfortably on top of everything We even use it to steep tea every day so if I place it carefully it will sit on top of the French press we use for steeping (although I have seen it get knocked into it if the kids get rowdy). It fits nicely in the mouth of the children's mugs and espresso sized cups. I have been using it almost daily (sometimes more than once a day) since I received it, and it still looks great after being used for over a month. very satisfied with the quality and price of this product and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a reliable product for everyday use Wet strainer for the day. A large number of negative reviews are from people who mistakenly believe that this is a Steep-slope climbing equipment I don't believe this is a strain.

This is helpful
5/5

The complaint has been filed. I don't have a strainer for my teapots. Having this strainer and using it for a long time is great Tea leaves are more useful if I catch them before they fall into the cup.
