Ohtomber Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Tea Infuser for Loose Leaf Tea | Heat Proof Handles for Safe Grip, Fits Teapots Mugs & Cups, Rust Resistant, Easy to Clean, Versatile Tea Strainer & Diffuser

This tea infuser is fantastic! I previously bought another type that is like a ball at the end of a stick but found that the holes were too big for the finely chopped herb teas I drink, like yerba mate and rooibos. The holes on this one are very tiny. I like the design, which can be used in a mug or a pot. The cover keeps the heat in as it brews and can be used after to hold the steeper when you remove it. It's simple and effective and I'm glad I bought it.

5 stars because this product is " almost there". This is exactly what i was looking for BUT there is ONE PROBLEM which ill mention in my review. This is a nice large infuser. Easy to take in and out of your cup, easy to clean, the water flow through the holes are better than expected and the rubber handles on the side are helpful to pull it in and out of your cup & avoid burning your fingers and the lid is a plus. Upon taking out of the box i realized this infuser was HUGE. Although i thought i ordered the small version..... i assumed it would be too large to fit in my little 12 oz coffee cup but it happend to be the perfect size to fit down in provided that i put enough water in my cup. I looked at tons of tea filters & infusers & so many of the reviews said that even after using the filter they still had loose tea leaves floating in their tea and no one wants to drink bits of loose leaf in their tea. I came across this one that seemed to have good reviews and decided to give it a go. Used this infuser with the "hey girl" cleanse for digestion & bloating loose leaf tea from amazon and at first I thought it filtered it throughly until i looked at the bottom of my cup and unfortunately I see a bunch of loose tea grounds floating at the bottom of my drink. It filtered everything out except small loose tea particles but large enough that i would know its in my mouth when drinking it. So that disappointed me. I thought the tiny holes would be small enough to keep anything from going through it but i guess i was wrong. I will likely be keeping it to try it with other loose leaf teas and see how it works but will probably be looking for a box of disposable tea filter bags with the string that are "bleach free". One thing i cant stand is things floating in my tea. Another reason I wanted to switch to loose tea instead of purchasing the bags is ive gotten a nasty mouthful of tea grounds in my mouth when taking a drink due to a tea bag bursting inside my coffee tumbler without my knowledge. I mean I had basically half the tea bags contents in my mouth! Yuck 🤮 Will be on the hunt to find a infuser and filter that work better. For context the debloat and digestion tea is used suggested to use 1 heaping Teaspoon. That was all I put in

This tea infuser is superior to all the others I have used. It has a large capacity to load and hold the leaves, it's easy to use, and the silicone handles on the sides are a very smart feature. The fine mesh body is also super functional and keeps the contents inside the strainer instead of floating around in your cup. The lid on the strainer is also a very cool feature, keeping the leaves warm while they steep. It is also a great value and of premium quality. I would highly recommend this tea infuser!

Great to use for loose leaf tea! Fits perfectly in my mug and no residue left in the bottom! So easy to use and rinses clean. I had been using an infuser ball until it quit closing tightly. This product is so much better.

This tea infuser/strainer is perfect. It fits into a standard mug but is big enough to give the tea room to really expand/blossom and release all the great flavors. The silicone lid is perfect for helping maintain temperature for ideal steeping conditions. The mesh is solid thick metal, rather than a screen and doesn’t bend of damage during use, but the holes are fine enough that tea stays contained in the strainer without leaking. The silicone handles support the strainer while remaining cool to touch to. O. Ruby finders, and the lid offers a perfect drip tray to set the strainer on while you enjoy your tea, leaving the strainer ready for a second steep with no mess. It is easy to use and designed by some one who knows the importance of a perfect cup of tea.

A good product and is off a good size to hold more than enough leaves, flowers, etc. In addition, the strainer has kept out a considerable about of leaf/flower material as the holes are pretty small. It has not rusted to date, but I wash it soon after I use it and put it to dry. The only thing is that the two rubber heat protector pads slid off the handles after a few washes as water got under them. I have since removed the rubber pads and use the strainer without them. Even though the tea is hot, I have not gotten burnt without using the pads.

I have used this product for years and can heartily recommend it to anyone who drinks loose leaf tea or tisanses. It's excellent value for the money and I have bought multiple over the years to keep in different locations (home, work, etc.). As for the construction, the mesh is thinner but rigid and strong. I've never stress tested it, but one doesn't need to stress test a tea strainer. I've traveled with it in bags that had heavier things and it's always stayed the same. The hole sizes are small enough that tea leaves won't get through. You may have the littlest bit of powdered tea leaf get through, but that's expected with any metal strainer. There are lots of holes, including at the bottom of the strainer, so you wont have any trouble with slow brewing. As for the lid, it works well. I don't use it as much, but i do appreciate the silicone part that keeps it on tight. The silicone handles are great for protecting your hands from getting burned when you take strainer out after brewing. A note on cleaning: You can put this in the dishwasher if needed, I have before, but i wouldn't do it much. This isn't due to anything structural, but the flavor soap imparts. If you dishwash or hand wash it with soap, i would recommend rinsing it for a while after. How I usually clean the strainer: Once I dump the used tea leaves, I rinse out the excess in the sink. After this, I pour boiling water in and over it, then let it dry on a towel. All the tea leaves usually come out, but if any ever get stuck in a hole, you can get it out with your fingernail or a toothpick.

I’m absolutely loving this tea infuser strainer! I’ve purchased three so far because everyone in the house keeps using them. No more wasteful tea bags — just the perfect amount of loose leaf tea every time. It fits any mug, and it’s great for a second steep since there’s no soggy bag to deal with. The tea leaves swirl and float beautifully when you pour in the hot water, making every cup taste fresher and more flavorful! The quality whole size and filtration is amazing, and the value is even better!

Sehr praktisch und durchdacht. Einen winzigen Verbesserungsvorschlag hätte ich: Da der Boden flach ist, kann man es zum Trocknen nicht hinstellen, sondern muss es immer hinlegen.

Arrived the next day does what it says good item yo have thank you

Best tea strainer I've ever owned. The wide mouth is great for cups and mugs and because it has a lid and fills so much of the space at the top of the cup the heat doesn't escape. It's also very light weight and cleans really easily.

Amazing for herbal tea, easy to use and easy to clean. Fits regular and larger mugs, could even be used with a small teapot! The capacity for loose tea/herbs is big so it would brew a large amount of water no problem. The lid is also very convenient and helps the tea steep faster

Exactly as described. Does the job well
