Stella ★★★★★

I've been using loose leaf for years and this basket actually holds the tiny fannings instead of letting them float into my cup. The brass has a nice antique weight to it, and it's held up fine after a couple months of daily rinsing.

Violet ★★★★★

The fine weave on this infuser is what sold me—it keeps even the tiniest tea leaves out of my cup, which my old mesh strainer never managed. I've used it every morning for two weeks now and the basket shape makes it incredibly easy to rinse out and reuse.

Abigail L. ★★★★★

The antique brass finish looks even better in person, and the fine weave catches every bit of leaf—no grit at the bottom of my cup. It’s surprisingly sturdy for something so delicate, and cleanup is just a quick rinse.
