Norpro Stainless Steel Decorative Tea Infuser, 1 EA, As Shown

This is my favorite tea basket. The basket is small enough for a mug or narrow mouth mason jar and large enough for a quart or half gallon wide mouth mason jar. Great for a small or large amount of tea! It's also pretty and durable. The mesh is very fine to keep the loose leaf tea inside but because it is a basket, it allows the leaves to float to extract the most out of the leaves.

I have had this infuser for over two years, and I use it daily. It is excellent quality and has not rusted. The mesh and underside have stained slightly from tea, but the rim is still nice and shiny. A good scrubbing with Bon Ami would take the tea-discoloration out, but it's on the bottom, and it doesn't detract in any way from the strainer. I'm wondering if the reviewer who claimed theirs rusted did not mistake the tea residue for rust. As a strainer, it is excellent and does not let any tea through. It is large enough to fit sufficient tea for a two quart pot. I's easily cleaned with the spray function on the faucet, and the rim is large enough that it fits on wide-mouth mugs. I like the celestial motif on the rim, too, which makes it pretty and functional.

I love this tea infuser. It is so cute with its design and so easy to use and clean. It fits in every cup I've used (though it would be too small for a giant mug). My looseleaf tea is infused quickly by the mesh design, with almost no tea leaves escaping. I handwash this immediately after use, making sure to dry well to avoid the chance of rusting. I now want to gift this to others.

I love these and give them as presents.

I drink a lot of tea, and have used a lot of different tea strainers over the years. This one is perfectly functional and sits in the cup well. It's not as easy to clean as I would like. The tea leaves get stuck the screen seam. It's still a decent strainer, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Pleased, easy to use for tea infusing -- (Patti)

Some people may not find this much of a complaint, my last strainer, the same male and model as this one, lasted over 15 years. Some might think that’s great. I don’t. I still use my grandmother's rolling pin, which is over 100 years old. I was hoping the last strainer would last as long as I will. I love the design, and the ease of using it. I’m just not happy that it didn’t stand the test of time.

Fits a variety of cup sizes. Easy to use and clean.
