VIVA INFUSION TEA STRAINER
Description
Will this leave bits of tea in my cup?
The stainless steel body of the Infusion Tea Strainer has very fine holes at the bottom, with increasingly coarse holes higher up. This should be ideal for most types of tea, and stop any noticeable particles from entering your tea. Generally speaking, high quality teas will not be ‘dusty’, and therefore will not leave particles in your tea. So if this has been a problem for you, it might be worth considering looking into higher quality versions of the tea you’re drinking.
Is this strainer difficult to use?
This is one of the easiest strainers to use. There are no clips, clasps , levers or springs to worry about. You simply pull off the flexible silicone lid, spoon in your tea and hang it over the edge of your cup - ready to go! The lid also doubles as a stand, so once your tea has infused to the strength you prefer, you can take it out of your cup and set it down without any fuss or mess.
Will the infuser rust?
The entire body of the infuser is made from our specially developed Immacular stainless steel, the same type of stainless steel used for high quality pots and pans and other food-preparation tools. So under normal conditions it will not rust or degrade and will be a faithful tool for years to come.
Will this tea strainer discolour over time?
Being stainless steel, the metal itself should not discolour. However, if you are using the infuser to make dark tea, you may eventually see a buildup of tannins on the steel. This is sometimes referred to as ‘seasoning’ and is not necessarily a bad thing as it helps contribute to richer, deeper flavour. This can be always be removed with a good scrub or by using a more intensive washing liquid.
Can this infuser be used for coffee?
Using tea strainers like the Infusion for making great cups of coffee is a growing trend among coffee aficionados. If you choose to do this, we think the Infusion is an ideal strainer to try it with! A medium-coarse grind is ideal. Simply spoon in your grounds, and then pour over you boiling water. What easier way is there to make a good quality coffee in a pinch?
