About this product

  • Material: Stainless Steel

Product Overview

The 5490-75 is a stainless steel tea strainer with a round rim and a tapered mesh basket. Its handleless form provides a compact way to hold loose tea leaves while brewing, with the mesh separating the leaves from the drink. This model belongs to the 5490 size range and measures 69–74 mm; choose by the specific model and dimensions rather than by appearance alone.

Made in Japan, the strainer is suited to a tea-service setup where the removable basket can be lifted out after steeping. The surrounding rim and shaped basket give it a different form from a long-handled strainer. Compare the other 5490 sizes when selecting a replacement, checking your vessel before ordering. Hand wash only.

5490-75 stainless steel mesh tea strainer

A compact mesh basket

The 5490-75 brings a round rim and tapered stainless steel mesh basket to loose-leaf tea preparation. The handleless form keeps the shape focused on the basket itself, rather than an extended grip. Its 69–74 mm size range distinguishes it from the neighboring models in the 5490 collection. Check the dimensions of your existing teapot when selecting a replacement strainer.

5490-75 inverted mesh basket beside a tea setting

Keep the basket beside the tea setup

The inverted mesh basket rests beside a tea-preparation setting. Its rim, tapered sides and fine mesh remain visible. Cups and other setting accessories are separate, and this scene does not establish compatibility with a particular vessel.

A closer look while handling the basket

The mesh basket is shown in hand in the same inverted orientation as the original product view. This makes the tapered body and rim easy to inspect without implying a universal fit; compare the product’s dimensions with your own vessel.
