Loose Leaf Tea Infuser, Tea Ball Strainers, Steepers Set w/ Cute Silicone Handle & Trays 3X PLUS Stainless Steel Spoon.

These infusers are as adorable as they are durable. They're well made and function wonderfully. If you have tea with really TEENY particles, they will seep through the holes and into your cup - but I think you'd be hard pressed to find any infuser that wouldn't seep a few teeny tea leaves. I love the little holder, too. Being miserly (translation: super cheap in weird ways), I sometimes like to reuse the tea if it's a particularly strong brew, and I can leave the infuser in the little holder until I'm ready to brew another cuppa. One note - be SURE that your infuser top is screwed securely to the bottom or else it'll open and spill all the tea into the cup. (This was absolutely USER error on the one occasion it happened to me, not the fault of the infuser.)

This is my first foray into making loose leaf tea. These infusers are PERFECT for my needs. I make mine at my office, one cup at a time. Using a standard sized coffee cup. I fill it with cold water leaving about 3/4" from the top. 2 minutes in the microwave and I'm ready for the next step. The Steeping. I'm using a Green Tea that is in the shape of pearls/balls. About 2.5 scoops (using the scoop that comes with this set) into the infuser. So easy with the little stands they come with. Open the infuser, put the bottom in the stand and scoop in your tea. Twist on the top and you're ready to go. Gently ease the infuser into your cup, allowing it to slowly fill with water as it sinks. This eliminates any water displacement issues and it NEVER overflows out of the cup. 2 to 3 minutes later I have a bold, clean, beautiful cup of tea. Highly recommend this product! Getting more to give away as gifts. NOTE: Buy a tea especially cut for this method of steeping. I thought I could open my existing teabags and pour them into these infusers but they were apparently cut too fine and worked their way out through the little holes while brewing. Thus, I purchased my first bag of loose tea. Problem solved and loving it!

Very easy to use. I like the infuser, no liquid messes. The holes are larger than expected, some of the smaller tea leaves leaves the infuser and leak into the tea drink.

This adorable set of 3 tea infusers plus tea spoon was just what I was looking for. A bit larger than I expected, I was delighted with the quality and very pleased with the cost. I highly recommend this set for anyone looking for some reasonable infusers. I plan on giving each one away for Christmas!

Overall, these tea strainers work pretty well, with a nice length of chain and a convenient little stand for the strainer when not in use. The holes in the strainers might be a little big for certain small-cut tea leaves, but they generally work well. I did have to give this a lower score because one of the strainers had a defective lid that can not securely stay on the rest of the strainer, meaning 1 out of 3 strainers is useless.

I think these are best suited for a teapot because they would displace too much water in a single cup of tea. The bottom of the silicone is 2" diameter, almost as big as a coffee mug. I wish they made them both sizes! They are awesome. I like the silicone base, I have yet to get the stainless steel bottom half of the ball out of it, it is firmly stuck in there. Probably has something to do with heat, cold and contraction. They have instructions for how to fix the ball when the lid won't fit properly after being in use for a while. My favorite thing is the tiny scoop. It is just the right size scoop to measure the proper amount of lose leaf to make one 6 oz cup. If we use too much leaf the tea tastes rank, so this little scoop really helps.

My niece gifted me some loose tea recently, and it needed something to make brewing more efficient. I looked for quite a while before happening on these and they are roomy, cute, the dunking chain has a cute little charm, each one different in this set of 3. Best of all, each has a little resting cup where you can set the tea infuser when you have infused to your satisfaction without having a wet mess on a saucer. I'm very happy with them.

Can’t speak for durability yet, but they seem pretty well-made. They’re also a decent size (as fun as novelty steeper’s are, they’re always too small!), and the included drip cups are super convenient. I like the closure, which is a twist-lock, rather than the usual hinge latch or screw-on lids, so it’s both secure and quick to open or close. A fine mesh would better keep tea bits inside, but only a few get out so it’s not bad. Overall, I’m happy with these.
