About this product

  • Material: Stainless Steel
  • Dimensions: 1.75" D
  • One package

Product Overview

Two mesh halves meet at a narrow metal rim to form this compact stainless steel tea ball. A small closure holds the enclosure together, while the attached chain ends in a hook. The mesh keeps the tea portion together inside the brewing vessel rather than leaving the leaves loose in the cup.

The tea ball measures 1¾ inches in diameter and is made in China. Open it to add separately selected loose tea, close the enclosure, and use the chain to position it in a suitable cup or pot. Check the vessel opening and allow space around the ball rather than assuming a universal fit. Hand wash after use.

Hand-wash care after brewing

Hand wash the stainless-steel tea ball after use. Remove the spent leaves before cleaning so debris does not remain inside the mesh.
