HIC Kitchen Premium Perforated English Tea Strainer - Japanese Stainless Steel Loose Tea Infuser, Universal Fit for Mugs and Cups, Perfect for Black Green Oolong Herbal Tea

Good product and hard to get elsewhere.

I purchased this as a gift along with some whole leaf tea and a mug. It sits on the mug as it steeps and the handle is convenient to flip out the leaves when finished. It was much less pricey than the typical tea infusers I use in my pots and mugs but worked perfect for making the little daily mugs of tea I do. No smell or taste to worry about and sits as it should. I wouldn't use this for a big tea pot necessarily since I like to put on a lid and tea cozy to retain the heat as the tea steeps- and some family like stronger tea and would use my deeper strainer for that.

Very pretty and very well made, at a great price. I make a pot of tea using loose-leaf tea and then pour the prepared tea through this strainer into a cup. It works perfectly! It doesn't work to put the loose tea into the strainer itself then pour hot water through it to steep. It isn't deep enough. It is my guess that it wasn't made to be used in that manner. Whenever I see strainers, such as this one, in British tv shows and movies, it is always used as a strainer with a pot of loose-leaf prepared tea. I love my strainer!

These little cone shaped strainer is excellent and fine enough to even catch powders such as matcha. I was very impressed to see that all the powder was still in the strainer and as matcha powder is very very fine. I’ve tried this on loose leaves to make tea, like chamomile and other flowers, and this is excellent at stopping the big leaves and flowers from the liquids. I also love the fact that this is stainless steel and very sturdy. The net and handle both seem very durable. You can’t beat the price!
