Tea Strainer – Bamboo

Some tea moments call for a little ceremony. This handwoven bamboo strainer is made for exactly that: hold it over your cup, pour from the teapot, and let the tea flow through while the leaves stay behind.
Each strainer is woven by hand from natural split bamboo, so no two are exactly the same. The deep basket gives the leaves room to settle as you pour, and the wrapped handle ends in a small loop for hanging.
Pairs naturally with our Rest ’n’ Refresh Tea.

How to Use

1. Hold the strainer by its handle over your cup.
2. Pour your steeped tea from the teapot through the strainer.
3. Tap out the leaves and enjoy.

Details

• Natural bamboo, handwoven.
• Slight variations in weave and color from piece to piece.
• Hanging loop on the handle.
• Best with whole or larger-cut loose tea; very fine particles can pass through the weave.

Care

• Tap out the leaves and rinse under warm running water after each use.
• Skip the soap; bamboo can absorb it and pass the taste on to your tea.
• Air dry completely before storing. Hanging it by the loop lets air reach all sides.
• Not dishwasher safe. Do not soak.
• Over time, the bamboo will deepen in color from the tea. This natural patina is part of its character.
