Long Handle Tea Ball, Tea Infuser for Loose Leaf Tea, 2Pcs

I got this for travel for loose tea. It works great for that and is really worth getting. And, I recently starting using one to sprinkle rice flour on sourdough boules prior to scoring and baking. Quite the dandy gadget!

Nice and Easy to use, size is good for a mixture of different teas. Stainless steel of good quality. Long handle doesn’t get too hot.

I bought these because tea bags are extremely high with microplastics!! I have used several times with different tea's and the tea particles always go through the holes. It settles at the bottom of my cup so not that big of deal, but maybe that could somehow be fixed by manufacturer. It's saving me from much of the microplastics!!!!

I’ve only had this for a day, but it is going to be my new go-to for making loose leaf tea. Here’s what it does well: 1) the seal is tight. When it’s closed, it’s closed. There’s no gap between the two halves and therefore no leakage or spillage of tea leaves into your drink. My other tea ball that opens sideways when you grip it, has a closing force not as strong and tea leaves fall into the water. Not with this one. 2) The holes are very small. You only get the smallest of particles, or tea dust, in your brew which is negligible. Here’s what’s a little awkward: filling it with tea. Since the halves of the ball separate on the top and bottom, it’s a little tricky to fill with loose leaf tea. You could stick it into your container and press and release to scoop, but I think you’d end up with leaves stuck between the two halves. For now, I just carefully pour into the bottom half. This also makes cleaning a little difficult. Regardless, this is a great tool for steeping tea. It’s easy and there’s no leaking of tea leaves.

These tea balls are a nice idea but hard to use. Clumsy to fill, don't close very tightly so there are "floaties" in my tea, and they are fussy to clean. They are attractive but not practical for me.

I'm not a tea drinker -- I fill these with flour to sprinkle on the counter before I roll out dough and the other one is for sprinkling powdered sugar on top of desserts. They are fabulous for this!

I buy loose tea and as in have a tea drinker , I have been struggling to find something with small enough holes that I don’t have tea floating in my cup. Well, this is it look no further. You open the capsule by pressing the plunger, put it in the bag and use it to measure the amount of tea you need for a cup. I let it steep for a few minutes and voilà no floaters just a good cup of tea. It even comes with a little brush so when you are finished run it underwater use the little brush to grab the tea that is hiding inside. Give it a good rinse and let it dry and it’s ready for use again. I highly recommend this product.

Quality: 1/5 I was really excited to try this tea steamer, but unfortunately, it didn't meet expectations. The material feels flimsy, and the overall build quality is disappointing. After just a few uses, I noticed parts of it started to lose their shape and functionality, making it difficult to use. The handle feels weak, and the steamer doesn’t stay securely attached to the teapot as it should. Design: 1/5 The design is quite awkward, and it doesn’t seem well thought out. The spout tends to dribble, which makes pouring the tea a bit messy. The steamer mesh itself doesn’t seem to allow water to flow through evenly, which leads to unevenly brewed tea. It’s also a bit harder to clean than expected, with tea leaves often getting stuck in the mesh. Functionality: 1/5 The primary function of a tea steamer is to help brew loose leaf tea easily, but this one doesn’t do that at all. It tends to either under-steam or over-steam the tea, leaving the flavor off. The steamer mesh clogs easily, which only adds to the frustration. It’s supposed to be a simple process, but using this has made tea time more of a hassle than a relaxing experience. Value for Money: 1/5 Considering the issues with the quality and functionality, this tea steamer isn’t worth the price. It performs poorly, and I feel like I wasted my money. There are much better options out there that are more durable and effective for the same or even lower price. Overall: 1/5 This tea steamer missed the mark completely. From its flimsy construction to its poor performance, it just doesn't do what it's supposed to do. I would not recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a nice, hassle-free cup of tea. Save your money and look for a better alternative

Good for all kinds of loose tea but not as easy to empty after use

These work well, even for finer teas! I've been using them for months now, and they still hold tension and stay closed while steeping. The best I've found so far for loose tea.

98% perfect. Exactly what it should be. It says a long handle but I expected it to be about two inches longer

This is more for a pot of tea than a cup, way too big for cups of tea. Good quality.

Looks good but find it hard to fill and clean up. Loose tea still seems to escape.
