What it does
- Fine mesh
- Stainless steel
- Twist open
- Loose leaf
Who it suits
- brewing loose leaf in a mug or pot without sieving afterwards
- single cups of tea
Who should skip it
- whole large leaves that need room to unfurl, which a small ball infuser cramps
- very fine tea dust, which can pass through a coarse mesh
The thing worth knowing
An infuser works best when the leaves have room to expand, so a basket or fine mesh gives more room than a small ball. Rinse it straight after use so the leaves do not dry onto the mesh.

What we have not done
We have not independently tested this product. The description above is compiled from the manufacturer’s published specification and from what the category demands, and it is written to tell you who the equipment suits rather than to sell it. Where we have no first-hand experience, we say so rather than inventing a star rating.
