FAQs

How does the strainer open?
Squeeze the handle to separate the two mesh halves. Release gently to close.

How much tea should I put inside?
Follow your tea’s directions and leave room for expansion. If the recommended amount crowds the basket, use a larger infuser.

Can I use it for finely powdered herbs?
Very fine particles may pass through the mesh. A paper filter or finer filtration method may work better for powdered blends.

Can I use it for a only roots and bark blend?
No. Follow the blend’s preparation instructions. Herbs requiring simmering are generally better prepared in a pot, then strained afterward.

Will it keep every particle out of my cup?
It holds larger leaves and herb pieces, but fine sediment may pass through.

Is it dishwasher-safe?
Hand-washing is recommended unless dishwasher compatibility has been confirmed for this strainer.

How do I clean leaves trapped in the mesh?
Once cool, open the basket and rinse from both sides. Use a soft brush gently, then wash and dry thoroughly.

How often should I replace it?
Replace according to condition rather than a calendar. Damaged mesh, exposed wires, corrosion, or a faulty closure mean it is time for a replacement.
