If you’re into loose tea and looking for one cup or mug at a time, this is for you. It works well, the spinning or turning mechanism is a smooth and easy twist of the wrist. Cleaning it, emptying the used tea leaves, is simple.

This honestly works way better than I expected.It opens easy and closes easy as well. Much simpler to operate than I thought it was going to be. It even opens in both directions so I don’t have to worry about accidentally breaking it if I try to open it the wrong way.It holds the tea very well, it doesn’t keep everything in but I think that’s because the tea I’m using is a little more fine than what I’ve seen elsewhere. But even with that hardly any gets through.The handle is slightly shorter than I thought it was going to be, but that doesn’t stop it from working for me.Great product, I’m very likely to buy again. Hopefully this lasts a long time so that doesn’t have to be anytime soon.

これほど便利な茶こし、本当に助かっています。一人分の紅茶を淹れるのにちょうどよく、茶葉をすくってフタを閉めてそのままお湯に入れるだけ。朝はいつもバタバタしているので、この手軽さに救われています。気軽に紅茶を楽しめるのが嬉しいです。使い終わったら茶葉がスムーズに捨てられるので、片付けもラク。毎日気軽に使えるので、もう手放せません。紅茶をよく飲む方には本当におすすめです。

Muy buen producto, lo he comprado un par de veces, para mi y para regalar. El precio varia mucho de un día para otro

I love this! Large globe chamber enables a deep brew. Sturdy product all around. Easy to operate with minimal force. No awkward hand positions; simply turn the handle and it opens wide. Great if you have arthritis or a hand injury. Easy to expel tea leaves and clean without getting hands wet.

Lo uso ogni giorno. Pratico e comodo.Consiglio

This is the best tea ball that we have used. Easy to fill. Not messy. Fairly easy to clean.The seeping holes are very small which works great for spiced teas such as home-made masala chia.I wish the ball was a little bigger for large cups of tea. It works great for a single cup of tea.

This tea ball infuser is super handy! The twisting mechanism makes it easy to load and clean, and it’s perfect for single cups of loose-leaf tea. A great tool for tea lovers looking for simplicity and convenience.Pros:- Easy to load and clean- Perfect for single cups of tea- Sturdy and well-designedCons:- None

Funkar som den ska. Lätt att fylla på.

Fantastic product! This is one of my favorite tea infusers out there. While it might not have the charm of some of those other "cute" tea infusers this one makes up for in quality and functionality. It is made very well and I can see myself using this for years to come. Super simple, just twist near the handle and it opens, then you can use it to scoop your loose leaf tea. Close it and put in the water and you're done! I use this on a daily basis and it doesn't let me down.Pros: Easy to useDoubles as a scoopGreat qualitytall enough to not be submerged in cupCons: It will still let some little bits of the tea through into your drink. (not a big deal to me)

Doubles as a stirring tool to evenly distribute brewed tea before a quick twist, tap to empty into my organic waste bin, 1 second rinse under the tap and done. So much neater and convenient that a tea ball with that chain and hook that falls into the tea and has to be fished out! More expensive but worth it and should last for years.

I honestly can't imagine why someone would not like (if not love) this tea ball infuser. It's easy to clean, easy to fill, and works great! I drink tea all the time and it is my favorite way to drink loose leaf tea.I'm a field hand and a dairy farmer who loves video games and the taste of a nice pinot noir. After working a long day at a Petaluma ranch, I need a hot and soothing drink to help me relax. This is where my new OXO BREW Twisting Tea Ball Infuser comes in and plays a vital role in my daily routine. I fill the ball with my favorite organic loose leaf tea, heat my filtered water to the optimal temperature (more on that below) and pour myself a delicious cup of organic hot tea. Perfection.I sometimes will brew caffeinated tea (like black or green tea) in the afternoons to give me that final boost to get through the rest of the Petaluma day, then brew non-caffeinated herbal tea in the evening to unwind right before I get in my comfy Petaluma bed. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that my love of wine is only rivaled by my love of a good organic loose leaf tea.And drinking loose leaf is key.“Loose-leaf tea” means tea that’s primarily made up of whole, unbroken leaves. Teabags are usually made from the opposite – low tea grades, such as dust and fannings. Dust and fannings are smaller pieces of tea, so they have a larger surface area than whole leaves. A larger surface area means more opportunities for the essential oils (what makes tea flavorful and aromatic) to evaporate, leaving the tea dull and stale. Freshness can be a major issue with typical teabags for this reason, especially if they are packed in a paper box with paper wrapping.When you steep loose-leaf tea, it has (or should have) room for tea leaves to absorb water and expand as they infuse. This allows the water to flow through the leaves and extract a wide range of vitamins, minerals, flavors, and aromas from the leaves. When you steep tea in a teabag, its infusion is limited by the size of the teabag. Not great.Also, temperature is crucial!Most of us in the western world are brought up thinking that all we need to do to make a cup of tea is heat water, add tea, wait a few minutes, then drink it. Although this is basically true, paying attention to the water temperature will help get the best flavor from your tea. Chances are you’ve wondered why your tea doesn’t always taste great or doesn't even taste the same from day to day. While this could be caused by several factors, water temperature is an important one to consider.Every type of tea has a “right” temperature. When tea is brewed, tannins, amino acids, aroma and flavor compounds are released from the leaves. Some kinds of tea require less heat, while others need more to maximize their distinctive attributes. Brewing at the optimal water temperature for each kind of tea allows the compounds to be released in a balanced way and leads to great tasting tea. Water temperatures that are too hot dissolve tannins and destroy the other desirable compounds in tea. Thermal shock from overly hot water can also burn sensitive tea leaves. The result will be a bitter, astringent, and unbalanced brew. At the opposite end of the spectrum, you also don’t want the water temperature for brewing tea to be too cool. The same compounds that are destroyed with over-heated water won't dissolve properly in under-heated water. The finished tea will definitely lack balance and simply won't have as much taste. A longer steeping time may compensate, but only a bit.Here are some general guidelines for the different categories of tea.White teas: 160–185°F (71–85°C)Yellow teas: 175°F (79°C)Green teas: 140–190°F (60–88°C)Oolong teas: 180–200°F (82–93°C)Black teas: 190–200°F (88–93°C)Pu'er teas: 200–212°F (93–100°C)Rolled oolongs and other teas in pearl form are notable exceptions to the guidelines. These not only withstand, but are best when brewed in water near boiling. For these, more heat is required to slowly unfurl the leaves and release their distinctive aroma and flavor compounds.You’ve probably heard the expression “a watched pot never boils.” Well, in order to judge the temperature of the water for tea using your ears and eyes, you have to watch the pot—and certainly remember to never boil the water. So maybe the adage should be changed to “watch the pot so it never boils.”When using your senses to gauge the temperature, you’ll need to pay attention to the bubbles and steam rising from the water while listening for different sounds. These change during three different stages of heating water. If using a saucepan you’ll be able to see as well as hear the changes. If you’re using a kettle then you’ll need to rely mostly on sound, although you might also see some steam escaping through the spout.But I digress.Whether you're a field hand and dairy farmer in Petaluma, or a big shot corporate suit from San Francisco, this tea ball infuser is a MUST for your tea drinking needs.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
