OXO Brew Tea Infuser Basket

I really like this tea infuser basket, which I use daily. I wanted to get away from tea bags. Very well made and should last a long time. It fits perfect in one of my mugs. I buy loose tea leaves and it works well, occasionally I will have a few traces of tea powder around the cup. Not bad to clean if you do it fairly soon after making tea. Just clean out leaves, rinse well and let dry in dish rack.

I just bought my first bag of loose leaf tea and this infuser is perfect! Nice large size so that tea isn't packed too tightly but still fits easily into my favorite mug. Love the cover too which keeps the tea hot while steeping and also acts as sort of coaster to put the infuser on once removed from cup/mug.

Great, works well and easy to clean.

I'm going to tell you why your tea tastes like cardboard, but no longer will after using this infuser. To start, I became an avid fine tea and herbal infusion drinker 9 years ago in 2011. I am an herbalist, and the tools we use actually matter when it comes to brewing herbal blends that aren't bitter and tasteless yet retain their medicinal qualities.. The vessel in which you brew is VERY important as well, and seeing as 95% of herbs come loose leaf and bulk, not individually bagged, its important to have great tools such as this stainless steel brew basket. Metal brewers leach iron and shavings into your tea reacting with the natural minerals present in the tea! This is NO bueno! Anywho, I often need to brew a lot of medicinal tea for myself or my clients. I've used mesh strainers, reusable cotton tea bags, silicone tea infusers, the stainless steel ball single cup tea infuser, kettles with the infusion basket inside, etc. You name it, I've tried it. Nothing comes close to how much I absolutely love THIS tea infuser. It fits perfect on my tea cup, which is 3.25" in diameter. PERFECT for a single cup of tea. Not only that, It fits darn near perfect on small mouthed 1 quart mason jars with the lid on!!! That means on the days I want 2.5 cups of tea, I just add 3 more tsp of looseleaf tea into my OXO Tea Infuser Basket, put it in my mason jar, pour the water over the herbs, and BOOM. 3 large servings of tea for me, or 2 generous servings of tea for a couple. The silicon finish on the underside of the handles and the rim of the lid are genius. It keeps all the aromatic, flavor bursting, healthful oils in your tea, so you're not drinking flavorless cardboard water. This is very apparent in blends with natural limonene, menthol, and eucalyptol oils found in teas such as peppermint, eucalyptus, lemon ginger, chai, and earl grey. Now you know why your tea was horrid. You let all the flavorful oils out when you brewed without the LID on!!!! The silicon finish on the handles and lid also creates a seal with cup, keeping your tea hot and those precious oils in. Stop drinking cardboard water and brew your tea with lids on people!!! I'm so grateful this brew basket has this fabulous lid. Use it. On the days I'm crampy because of menstruation, and I need a bunch of red raspberry leaf, I chuck a small handful of the herbs in brew basket, put it in my quart jar, and brew. I have enough tea for the next 3 hours and by then most of my cramps are gone. (Not to mention it tastes like a white tea!) See photos! I use this EVERY. DAY. and I don't foresee myself stopping in the summer. I'll just brew extra strong green iced tea and dilute it using this basket. Tea all year made easy!

Works well. Well-designed to let water through and keep tea inside. Easy to use.

I love this infuser so much I purchased one for my wife and one for my brother. I purchased this initially because I found out that tea bags have microplastic! I looked at the reviews before purchasing and I disagree with any negative critiques. I love that the lid has silicone so that I don't burn my fingers (rather than an all metal lid that sits inside the infuser as one video review talks about). I also found that the infuser covers all my mugs and the tea is very hot after brewing. This infuser is very easy to clean and use. The loose tea tastes so much better than the tea bags I was using. This infuser is definitely worth the extra money. I highly recommend it!!!

Much better than a tea ball; and high quality. I have been very unhappy with the tea balls that I have used in the past; they don't seal very well where the two halves join and the mesh isn't that fine, so when I saw this type of tea infuser, I wanted to give it a try. I read numerous reviews of competing products, many of which cost significantly less. But customers all complained about the same thing; that the bottom was only crimped on in three or four places, and came apart after use. I decided to trust OXO because I've had good luck with their products in the past. I was not disappointed. Eight solid looking crimps(I'm a machinist, and I recognize fine craftsmanship) holding the bottom in place, a super fine mesh that allows almost no Tea residue in my cup, and a size that holds a full heaping teasooon of tea, yet fits both my oversized mugs and my girlfriends more sensibly sized teacups. I would strongly recommend this.

I had no idea how well designed this product really was. It's the diameter of the mug, so when it's on and the cap is in place, it retains heat. It's the perfect size. Just a pleasure to use.

Inox de qualidade, espesso na medida. Furinhos minúsculos, não deixa poeira no chá. Nada de plástico. Cabe legal em qualquer caneca maior que 200 ml e o material é de qualidade, não deixa gosto residual. A borda da tampa é de silicone, para não queimar os dedos. A tampa apenas fica sobre a xícara, mas fica tudo vedado porque a parte de inox é mais larga e não deixa escapar o vapor. Vai para lava-louças. É bem caro, mas muuuuuuito bacana e vai durar.

Well worth it. It's strong and the mesh basket is cleanly finished. Love that it has the handle tabs on both sides, could not understand why some other models only had one. Fits securely on my giant mug. The lid really keeps the heat in while steeping.
