Small Stainless Steel Tea Strainer at a Glance
This small tea strainer is made of stainless steel and comes in your choice of a gold or silver finish. It is designed to sit across your cup or mug while you pour, catching loose leaf tea before it reaches your drink. Compact and straightforward, it is meant for everyday use at home. Available in two finish options. Check your mug's rim width before ordering to make sure it fits comfortably.
The Real Difference
Loose Leaf Tea, No Fuss, No Bits
You know that little moment of disappointment when you take a sip and get a mouthful of leaves? Well, that stops here, honey. A proper stainless steel tea strainer means you get every bit of flavor from your loose leaf tea and none of the debris. It sounds simple because it is, and believe me, simple done right changes your whole morning cup.
What It's Made Of
Stainless Steel, Gold or Silver Finish
Stainless steel is what you want for a tea strainer, full stop. It does not rust, it does not hold onto yesterday's chamomile, and it will not leave any funny taste in your cup. Mind you, the gold finish gives it a little warmth on your counter, while the silver keeps things clean and classic. Two options, same solid construction. You pick the one that makes you smile in the morning.

Your Kettle's Ready, Your Strainer's Waiting
You measure out your loose leaf tea, set this small strainer right across the rim of your favorite mug, and pour. The water goes through, the leaves stay put, and what lands in your cup is exactly what you wanted. No paper filter to hunt for, no pod to throw away. Just you, your tea, and a little stainless steel strainer doing its job quietly and well.
Day In, Day Out
The Strainer That Earns Its Spot by the Kettle
Let me tell you, the best kitchen tools are the ones you stop thinking about because they just work. This little stainless steel strainer sits by the kettle, gets used morning and evening, rinses off in seconds, and is ready again before you have finished your first cup. Between you and me, once you have a reliable loose leaf strainer within arm's reach, going back to tea bags feels like a step backward.
FAQ
Your Questions About This Tea Strainer, Answered
Will this strainer fit my mug?
It is designed as a small strainer that rests across the rim of a cup or mug. Hold on now, before you order, do check your mug's rim width. If you use a very wide mug or a large teapot, this compact size may not span the opening comfortably.
Does it work with all types of loose leaf tea?
Yes, dear. This stainless steel strainer is made for loose leaf tea in general. Whether you are brewing a bold black tea or a delicate herbal blend, it catches the leaves as you pour. Very fine powders like matcha are a different story and would need a different tool.
Is the gold finish durable, or will it wear off?
The strainer is stainless steel with a gold or silver finish. For best results, rinse it promptly after use and avoid harsh scrubbing. The description does not specify plating thickness, so treat it gently and it should hold up well with everyday care.
How do I clean it?
A quick rinse under running water right after use is your best friend here. Loose leaf tea rinses off stainless steel easily. For a deeper clean, a soft brush works well. The description does not confirm dishwasher safety, so hand washing is the safe and sensible choice.
Can I choose between gold and silver when I order?
Yes, both finishes are available. Gold gives your tea corner a warmer, slightly vintage feel, while silver is crisp and timeless. Well now, it really comes down to what makes you happiest when you reach for it first thing in the morning.

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.
Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy: if a product does not suit you, email teatime@luluteapot.com and we will make it right.
