FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Will this strainer work with finely cut teas, not just big whole leaves?
Yes, that is exactly what the fine mesh is for. It is designed to catch even smaller tea particles, so it works well with finely cut loose leaf teas and herbals, not just the big beautiful whole-leaf varieties.
Does it fit over a regular mug or only special teacups?
It is designed to rest across the rim of a standard cup or mug while your tea steeps. Most everyday mugs work just fine. If you have an unusually narrow or wide rim, it is worth checking the dimensions before ordering.
How do I clean this copper strainer without ruining it?
Hand washing is recommended to keep the copper finish looking its best. A gentle rinse and light scrub after each use is all it really needs. Avoid the dishwasher, which can be hard on the copper over time.
Can I use it for herbal teas and not just traditional loose leaf?
Absolutely. The fine mesh handles loose leaf teas of all kinds, including herbal blends. Whether it is chamomile, peppermint, or a full-leaf black tea, this strainer is built for the whole range.
Is this a gift-worthy item or more of a practical everyday tool?
Well now, it is both. The copper finish makes it genuinely pretty, and it does its job every single day. It makes a thoughtful gift for any tea lover, and it is practical enough that you will want to keep one for yourself too.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
Yes, all our products are guaranteed for 1 year against manufacturing defects, on top of the 30-day money-back guarantee.
