FAQs
Can I use this for chai tea?
Yes, it is excellent for steeping chai spices such as cinnamon sticks, cloves, and cardamom pods.
Will this rust over time?
No, it is made from high-grade 18/8 stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Yes, it is completely dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
Will it change the taste of my tea?
No, the high-quality stainless steel material does not impart any metallic flavor into your brew.
What is the best way to clean small tea particles from the mesh?
A quick rinse under running water usually works, but a soft-bristled brush can be used if particles become lodged in the mesh.
Troubleshooting
Tea leaves are escaping the strainer.
Ensure the clasp is fully snapped into the locked position. If using finely ground tea, consider using a finer mesh insert or a cloth bag within the strainer.
The handle feels stiff or difficult to open.
Rinse the hinge mechanism under warm water to remove any dried tea residue or mineral buildup that might be causing friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This strainer is designed for universal compatibility with standard tea mugs, teapots, and kitchen pots. No specific setup is required; ensure the clasp is fully engaged before submerging to prevent leaves from floating into your cup. To care for the product, it can be placed directly in the dishwasher. If you prefer hand washing, use a soft brush to remove small leaves from the mesh to maintain consistent drainage flow. Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads, as these may scratch the stainless steel surface over time.
