ReinmosonTea Strainers for Loose Tea, Extra Fine Mesh Tea Infuser, 304 Stainless Steel & Updated Slim Threaded Lid, Loose Leaf Tea Steeper for Black Tea, Rooibos, etc

The quality of this tea strainer is impressive! Not only is it very attractive, it's excellent at keeping debris out of my tea cup. The tiny hole size does not hinder the steeping of the tea one bit. Although it's sturdy, I only rinse it by hand taking care not to damage it. The cap has never given me any trouble as some reviewers have mentioned. However, I am careful with attaching it so not to have an issue. I purchased the small (for single cup...perfect!...have made numerous cups since receiving it 5 days ago), and large for making a pitcher of iced tea (haven't tried it yet, but I've no doubt it'll be just as awesome as the small one). I bought the 2-pack of each, and gave the 2nd set as a gift to a tea loving family member. She was super excited to receive them. By the way, the little tray is really useful and adds an extra touch of elegance.

The best tea infuser I have ever used, very functionable, gives one more choice of tea flavors, and loose tea cost less than bagged tea. It's very well made and the easiest to fill as much or less tea leaves via using a teaspoon. One modification I can suggest is putting a small keyring ring on the end of its chain making it easier to hold on to upon removal and or dunking. I like the fact it has a small plate provided to set the item on upon removal.

Review of: 2 Pack Reinmoson Tea Strainers for Loose Tea, Extra Fine Mesh Tea Infuser, 304 Stainless Steel & Updated Slim Threaded Lid, Loose Leaf Tea Steeper for Black Tea, Rooibos, etcSize SmallSo far I'm loving these tea strainers. The pros are:- completely stainless steel with no toxic plastic parts.- Size small is small enough for small mugs, and fit well in narrow stainless steel thermos type of to-go cups.- the chain & hook helps to pull it out of the taller to-go cups- the lid is easy to strew on and off- it's very easy to clean out- almost nothing escapes the tiny holes. Only a tiny amount of tea dust, but nothing chunky that you can feel in the mouth. Unlike the ball strainers that let larger leaves through.- allows the leaves to move and swim within the strainer, unlike a ball strainer that keeps the leaves compressed. So you get a good, dark body of tea using these strainers.No cons. The small is meant for one cup of tea. I use one teaspoon for one 12oz cup of tea. I think I'd be comfortable putting 2 teaspoons of tea to serve two people without the tea leaves getting too compressed. If you want to use it for a teapot that would serve more than 2, you should buy the larger tea strainer.

This is great! Super-fine holes keep in all of the tea. Really nicely-made, easy to clean, and the little tray is useful to make another cup of tea. Sooo much better than the metal ball ones I purchased last year that were cheaply made and with holes large enough to let half the tea leaves out. And this one was not that much more expensive than those ones!

I like the large size. It is easy to load and it fits my large 23oz mug. The tea can expand and water can flow around the leaves without restriction. But the holes are so tiny that the infuser floats too long and prevents my impatient dunking. I drilled many 1/6th" holes into the lid so that air can escape and I can raise and lower the infuser without issue. Tea does not escape. Of course if you use a tea pot waiting is part of the ritual.

This tea infuser is great. The holes are very tiny, and initially it wants to float because the water can't get in fast enough, but then it does sink and totally immerse in the water. The small holes keep all of your tea contents inside, so you don't end up with debris in your cup. It is a high quality infuser which should last a lifetime. Works great for me and my wife.

I had given up on tea strainers as every one I tried leaked enough leaves into the tea to be bothersome. With the ever growing concerns around "what chemicals are in your tea bag" I decided to look at strainers again and this very fine mesh strainer really works! I brew by pouring boiling water over the strainer in a 4 cup heat resistant measuring cup. A couple heaping teaspoons of tea is enough for a strong brew. After brewing I keep adding water as I pour off tea into my cup so my tea is ever more dilute - but with this strainer the tea is very clear, no loose leaves or residue. I probably end up with 8 to 12 cups by the time I've diluted so much that it's closer to water than tea - and at the very end I have just a little "tea dust" at the very bottom of my measuring cup. I'll never go back to tea bags now, this strainer is fantastic - I get all the flavor of loose leaf with no leaves loose in my cup!

I bought the large size because I am putting it into a tea kettle to steep for awhile, and I am using this instead of tea bags because I recently was horrified to read that there is plastic in tea bags too. (But Yogi Tea brand says theirs don't have any. So far that's the only one that I have verified.) As far as using it is concerned, I have no complaints. It's large enough for holding anything you may want to put into a tea kettle, just don't microwave it. Apparently you can also use it in cooking for removeable spices in soups and stews. The lid screws on so no worry about it coming off by accident, and the sturdy chain has a strong hook on the end if you need that. I may get a couple for tea cups, but mostly I just like to steep in a kettle, less messy and easier to drink.
