HIC Kitchen Premium Perforated English Tea Strainer - Japanese Stainless Steel Loose Tea Infuser, Universal Fit for Mugs and Cups, Perfect for Black Green Oolong Herbal Tea

Great little strainer, does its job well and is nicely designed.

Very happy with it looks just as described fits my coffee mug perfectly

They handled were a bit rough on the edges when I got it but cleaning it with a scrubby sponge removed the edges in no time. They weren’t sharp like other reviews claimed. It works really well for filtering tea and catches even small bits of tea like lavender flowers. I’m happy with my purchase and love the Star pattern on it.

This is a good little strainer. I thought that it was made in England when I ordered it, but as soon as I opened it, I learned that it's actually made in Japan. That's not really a problem, but I thought I'd post it just in case anyone else thought the same thing. Also, sometimes it let's a few tiny leaves through, but not so many that it's unbearable. Overall, it's a really useful strainer! I use mine almost everyday. And the little handles are really cute! I am really happy with my purchase.

Very pretty and very well made, at a great price. I make a pot of tea using loose-leaf tea and then pour the prepared tea through this strainer into a cup. It works perfectly! It doesn't work to put the loose tea into the strainer itself then pour hot water through it to steep. It isn't deep enough. It is my guess that it wasn't made to be used in that manner. Whenever I see strainers, such as this one, in British tv shows and movies, it is always used as a strainer with a pot of loose-leaf prepared tea. I love my strainer!

I use one of these to help improve my morning coffee. I have a small '5 cup' drip coffee maker. The 'wings' on the tea strainer are just wide enough to fit over the coffee ground basin. The strainer prevents the 'drip' water from boring a divot in the coffee grounds. This allows the water to more evenly percolate through all of the coffee grounds instead of just the middle where the divot forms from the water dripping into the center of the grounds.

This tea strainer is pretty and does the job adequately. It is a little too shallow for me, as the tea tends to splash out when it's poured a touch too fast, making a lovely little mess. It is very easy to clean as opposed to the mesh strainers that the tea leaves all get stuck in and are a pain to get out. It does let through some of the smaller tea leaves and can get very hot if the tea is very hot being poured through it. All in all a decent purchase.

For anyone to say this is anything less than a five star makes me question their review. This little device is not only weighty, it does not have rough edges, it works straining the tea leaves and it fits over a cup handsomely PLUS it was so darn inexpensive it garners a FiVE Star. My handles are fine they are not sharp anywhere, nothing wrong with this at all. I am going to get a few more just to make sure I have some to give~! I know my visitors to my home are going to wonder where I got this item. Oh and it says Made in Japan on the back!

Good product and hard to get elsewhere.

The product is very good but doesn't justify the price.

Exactly as described. Even nicer then I thought it would be. Works great. Fits over the tea cups perfectly and you don't need to hold it. Best investment I ever made. So worth it. Very fast shipping. Very happy

It's my own fault for not looking carefully enough, or just assuming, but the fact that this tea strainer does not come with a little cup to put it in after straining tea leaves is, to my mind, unforgivable. What are you supposed to do with it when it is dripping tea? Do you actually need a separate side plate for just that?

As described
