Small Tea Strainer

This review is for e Reinmoson tea infuser (Large) 2 pack. I purchased it for $18.99 USD in early 2026. Excellent. This basket is the perfect size for wide mouth insulated bottles. I clean all the parts in the dishwasher with no rusting or flaky coatings. It holds enough leaf to make 32oz worth of normal strength tea. I use a teaspoon and put 1 scoop per 8oz (5ml scoop for metric users). Easy to use. Durability seems ok at least for now. All of these types of baskets use resistance (spot) welds to hold them together and are of about equal quality across brands. The holes are small enough to keep all but the finest powder in the basket. Infusion results are exactly what you expect. The materials seem to be what is listed. A strong neodymium magnet has minimal pull on the barrel, hook, and chain. The magnet has nearly no pull on the lid, and zero pull on the drip tray. This leads me to conclude that it is made from 300 series stainless steel. Barrel and chain are likely 304, the lid is likely 308, and the tray is 316. welding can effect the paramagnetic force of stainless, so take the above guess with a grain of salt. It could be 100% 316ss Note: I am using this same review for another product of very similar quality, slightly different dimensions, and a different brand. All cleaning, hole size, tea infusion, and magnet testing are identical in result. (Pictures for each product will differ slightly by swapping which item is in the center). The pictures for THIS PRODUCT are in the CENTER of the 3 basket photos. The 2 basket photos are only this product. Infusion and Bottle Prep: I pre-heat the insulated bottle with hot water then use a kettle to heat water to the temp needed for whatever tea I’m brewing. Dump the pre-heat water out, pour the kettle water in, and dunk this in with the hook holding the lid of the bottle. I don’t set this in place before pouring the hot water, because the holes are so small it will float initially. Air displacement is slow

I have been in need of an extra fine mesh strainer for steeping herbal and loose leaf tea, and for infusing fresh and dried herbs and crushed chiles in olive oil, soups, and broths. I am over the moon pleased with this lovely strainer! - Very high quality, incredibly well made and designed. Durable stainless steel construction. The strainer is absolutely gorgeous to look at. - Very fine mesh throughout the entire strainer that makes a lovely pattern. - Easy to open and close the top. Generous chain length for hanging. - Simple to hand wash and air dry. - Great for steeping herbal and loose leaf tea blends. Superb for infusing fresh and dried herbs and crushed chiles in olive oil, soups, and broths. Photo attached using strainer to infuse cut and sifted dried lemon peel into a pot of homemade chicken vegetable soup. Turned out delicious! Given the incredibly high quality and versatile uses, this strainer is a terrific value. I highly recommend it.

Perfect for making a cup - or a pot - of loose leaf tea! It’s small enough to fit in a cup, and big enough to hold more than enough tea to make a big pot. Works very well - couldn’t be happier with it!

Stainless Steel fine mesh tea infusers very good quality. Lids screw on tight and do not leak. They fit in a cup or in pot without any problem. You dont have to stick to tea...I have used these to infuse spices into soups and stews as well. If you have ever run across that errant bay leaf or peppercorn in your sauce, this will prevent the problem. DW safe. I do like the little trays that come with them. Prevents a mess. They are also quite attractive with a "honeycomb" design in the mesh. They do NOT float, but sink right into the liquid. Impervious to heat, they stand up well, even when simmered.

IT IS VERY NICE AND STURDY, WE LOVE IT.

I’ve tried several tea strainers over the years, but none have featured mesh fine enough to prevent loose tea leaves from slipping through—until this one. It performs exceptionally well. I especially appreciate the secure screw-on lid, which feels far sturdier and more refined than the typical twist-and-lock design. The larger size is another standout feature, as it gives tea leaves ample room to expand fully and develop a richer flavor. To top it off, the design is elegant and beautifully crafted.

Had this for 24 hours and have to say, I'm extremely impressed. I bought this because having had a Keurig for a couple of years, I was stunned to discover that both Tea Bags and the Keurig cups release gads more microplastics when used with hot water. Tea bags especially are bad.. even those you "think" are paper. The glues they use are equally problematic. So as a Tea Lover I decided to try this instead. I simply cut open the current stash of tea bags and pour them into the strainer. You can buy a cheap strainer for $3... so why choose this one... Because of its extra fine mesh. Only the tiniest of tiny particles escape the strainer. I've tried it with ground coffee too and it works brilliant. Plus the quality of the strainer is clear. From the screw on lid to the tiny tray to sit it on. All Stainless Steel. The little hook for the rim of the cup is a nice feature too. Can't say highly enough how much I love this quality made product. I had zero issues with using in my Keurig. Indeed, I let the water drop straight on to the lid and 4 mins later, a beautiful cup of tea awaits, better I would add than the tea bags themselves. Clean out is a breeze. I bought the 2 pack as I keep one just for tea and one for coffee. Not that it should matter but for the extra few dollars for the pair, why not. I purchased the Extra Small as I checked a couple of my thermos flasks and they would all have had problems with the Small size. Regardless, I've no doubt any of the sizes will do what you want. Extremely pleased with the purchase, the quality, the manufacture, lid fit is so precise etc. If you do some research on Micro Plastics and feel concerned as I do, these strainers are a great solution and ease of mind. UPDATE 04/23/26 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After a few weeks of using these, I purchase the Small sized set also. I'm really pleased with these. In the few weeks I've been using them, I did ONE time forget to use the strainer and just used the tea bag. I discovered the tea had a very subtle but slightly different taste. I thought it odd and obviously made an additional cup with the strainer. Yup, tea tasted much fresher. I think the reason is simply that the tea bag doesn't allow the tea to mix as good with the water. That was noticeable because often with tea bags, I would have to stir the tea bag in the water otherwise the taste of the tea was lame. With the strainer it's much more flavored. There is a slight down size to using the strainer, easy to clean etc but you do have to dump the old tea out after each use and I have to rinse the strainer every time to remove old tea. It's not a chore, it's just an extra little step which using tea bags isn't required. None the less, I'll never go back to using tea bags again... Love these strainers. Oh and the small size are easier to dump the tea bag contents into than the extra small. However, the small won't fit my thermos so using the extra smalls just for that. Almost forgot, I'm using one of the strainers for the Keurig coffees also. Anything that reduces the intake of those potentially harmful micro plastics is worth it.... Still recommend.

Perfect for very small pieces of loose tea. Works well without releasing most of your yeast into your cup. Well made and easy to use. A bit expensive but worth it. This is my second order of this item.

I am very happy with this quality product comes with very fine holes . . . . This is the best i have ever find, making my tea drinking experience very satisfactory!

Beaucoup trop petit

Article d'excellence qualité, recommandé pour les thés en poudre.

Vacker funktionell tesil med ett ovanligt utförande. En stor och en liten beställde jag och det är perfekt för min fru och jag.

O produto é excelente, melhor do que quaisquer outros métodos que eu tinha usado ou improvisado. Até passei a tirar o material do saquinho de chá e usar dentro do infusor. Os furos são bem pequenos. O chá fica be concentrado e perfeito. Já se tornou um grande companheiro. O tamanho é perfeito para xícaras ou até mesmo recipientes maiores. É uma peça bonita, bem acabada e fácil de limpar. Enfim, realmente um ótimo produto.
