iJiZuo Tea Infuser for Loose Tea, Stainless Steel Tea Infuser Mesh Tea and Herb Ball Strainer, Tea Ball Strainers Infuser with Drip Trays, for Loose Leaf Tea, Herbal Tea, Mugs Teapots Spice

Ordered these for my mother in law who was staying with us for a while as she is very much a loose leaf tea expert. These are SO much better than the type which you push and they are like a “scoop”. They are very sturdy sealed and close tightly to keep your tea leaves securely inside your infuser without leaking them into your tea. They have plenty of space for the tea leaves to bloom inside as they are quite large and you can only really put tea in 1/2 of it. As a result, the leaves bloom and infuse really well and give you great tasting tea so the functionality is top notch especially for the price point. These were cheaper than lots of the other options I found and were by far better than the supermarket ones. They’ve been used daily for weeks and haven’t seen any rust or any issues so I would say they are very rust resistant and very sturdy and strong. Looking forward to a long life of usage !

I drink a lot of loose tea, and when out the house it is not a good idea to take a whole teapot with you! (You get weird looks, trust me!) so this is perfect for when you are on the go! You can just pop a bit of tea in, and drop it in your mug. Very easy to clean out as well, nothing gets stuck anywhere like most of these kind of stainers do. It holds up very well, works a lot better than sieve style infusers, and you can put a lot of tea leaves in to it if you prefer a stronger brew as it has good capacity. The screw seal ensures that it doesn't leak anywhere too. Brilliant little tool!

Lovely item! Substantial strainer; easy to screw together and undo with a handy tray to stand it on after use. Would thoroughly recommend for loose tea giving a nice brewed drink. I use it in a tea pot for four cups (or 2 mugs). Perfect every time!

I mainly use this tea infuser for brewing cacao tea, and it’s been an excellent addition to my tea routine. If you haven’t tried cacao tea yet, I highly recommend it – it’s like a guilt-free hot chocolate! This infuser makes the process so easy and mess-free. The stainless steel mesh is impressively fine and does a great job of keeping most of the grains out of the tea. However, some of the smaller particles do pass through. It’s not a dealbreaker for me, as the tea still comes out smooth and delicious. The build quality is fantastic – it feels sturdy, resists rust, and is super easy to clean. We’ve had it for about three months now, using it frequently, and it’s held up really well. One thing to note is that the stainless steel can get a little cloudy in spots over time, but a quick polish takes care of that easily. I also appreciate the long chain and hook, which make removing it from a mug hassle-free. Overall, this is a great infuser for loose leaf teas or cacao tea. If the mesh were just slightly finer, it would be perfect. Highly recommended for tea lovers!

Very good product, good size so you can put a decent amount of tea leaves in it. The holes in it are very small, so very little of the leaves escape, which is a big improvement on other products I have previously had. Decent value for money. Does the job

A well made item that does exactly what it's supposed to do and looks good too. Some other reviews have said that the water does not flow through the infuser very well: The secret there is not to overfill it. I've found that for my 2 cup/1 generous mug teapot filling just the bottom half works just fine. I dare say that the same would work for brewing in a mug but that is something I never do so I cannot verify. Cleaning after use is very easy, especially if a domed bottle brush is used, although a rinse under the tap is usually adequate, the MR.SIGA Long Handle Bottle Brush, Bottle Cleaner Brush Head Size 5.5centimeter(2.2inch) is ideal (and can be bought on Amazon). The only thing can criticise is that the retaining chain is not as good a quality as the infuser and, I feel, may not last as long. Overall it's a quality product that is easy to use, easy to clean and looks quite stylish too. I highly recommend it.

It’s just a tea infuser right? Wrong!! This little beauty is the only one you’ll ever need, I LOVE it! Was divided on buying after reading all reviews with some not impressed and now I’ve bought it, I’m so glad I did. My pet peeve before this one has always been them opening or leaving bits in my perfect brew because EWW. Absolutely nope. With this you might get a couple tiny specs with some dustier teas (mugwort, dandelion leaf, finer loose leaf black teas) but it’s so fine you wouldn’t taste/feel it or notice honestly, this filters very close to perfectly. I even tried it with little Buddha coffee granules (packed mega tight) and was actually impressed, definitely doable at a push lol The size is also perfect unless you’re using really small tea cups or something and in which event it would still fit but need more water added after, as someone else said this would be perfect for small teapot brewing. As for the brewing time; is amazing , up to 1 min with most standard teas, flower teas, hibiscus petals, green & black teas etc but when packed full with something more dense like mugwort I’d say a touch longer, say 2-3 maybe or 5-10 minutes depending on your desired taste or intended usage! I got a pretty strong mugwort from a 3 min brew (1min steep and about 2ish mins at rest in the cup) No leakage whatsoever, literally fine dust specs. Love the little dangle handle with its little hook 🪝 perfect for infusing in many different ways. Long enough to hang over a massive pint-sized mug. Not so long that steeping is a workout. Can’t believe the price, super bang for the buck. Honestly just buy it if you’re a loose leaf connoisseur , you could even pack into a small tied mesh bag and then screw in this if you want crystal clear, without even 1 spec in your tea but it’s literally pretty close to that already with most teas I tried, mugwort has fine dust like particles and barely any came through with this infuser even though I gave it a somewhat rampant steeping lol if you have packed densely you’ll need to do that anyway rather than just leave it ( to ensure the water has populated the infuser fully, just keep jigging till water bubbles stop then you can leave it to infuse) I’m so satisfied with the performance of this after trying so many over the years, finally found the boss level infuser. Let the teas and potions commence!

A fairly sturdy infuser, reasonable quality, and works, apart from quite a bit of tiny tea 'bits' that got through the holes in the infuser, so not as good as I hoped.
