The same wide, fine-mesh strainer as our stainless steel one, finished in gold. Made for the tea tray that is set out properly, or given as a gift.
Loose leaf needs room, and this basket is deep enough for whole leaves to unfurl completely, so the cup steeps full rather than thin. Gold-plated 304 stainless steel mesh holds back even the smallest particles, and two wings rest on the rim of a mug or teapot so it sits in place while the tea steeps.
The lid does two jobs. On top, it keeps the heat in while the tea steeps. Turned over, it becomes a small dish to rest the strainer on once it comes out of the cup, so drips land on the lid instead of the table.
Dimensions
Width 6cm. Depth 6.4cm. Fits most mugs and small teapots.
How to use
- Spoon one teaspoon of leaf per 200mL cup into the strainer and set it in your mug or teapot.
- Pour water over the leaf in a slow circle, at the temperature on the tea's brew guide. Cover with the lid.
- Lift the strainer once or twice while it steeps to move water through the leaves.
- When the steep is done, turn the lid over and rest the strainer on it.
Care
Hand wash and dry straight away to keep the gold finish bright.
