Teabloom Universal Glass Tea Infuser with Dual-Purpose Lid/Coaster – Hygienic, Non-Toxic Glass Filter for Loose Tea Leaves – Lead-Free & Cadmium-Free – Tea Purist's Choice

Fits perfectly with my existing tea cup! I use this with my Anchor Hocking, Mug Cafe Crystal 16 ounce Glass Tea Cup (you can find it on Amazon, as a 1 pack or more) I JUST LOVE IT! Makes it so easy to steep, right in my cup! Then strain it & put it in the lid, so convenient! I love the quality of glass instead of the metal or plastic or silicone tea strainers…metal rusts, plastic leeches & silicone stains and/or smells so nothing beats glass! And the glass in glass looks seamless & gorgeous! It works great for me and I’ve tried a lot of different tea leaves in it with no issues. Or “worst case scenario, I stir a spoon around to loosen up the loose tea leaves BUT that usually happens with a non quality tea. That’s not the strainers fault. Never had an issue with it going from hot to cold water temperatures. So I say get it! I’m actually ordering it again right now!

Glass is more thicker then older one I had before, also shape is better to clean. Very good for one cup tea brewing & very good quality!

I recently began intermittent fasting and find that a nice cup of loose-leaf herbal tea is a good way to help me get to lunchtime. A popular meta-review site recommended a tea infuser/strainer for use with a standard mug and it works well, except that it has plastic supports and no matter how free it is of BPA and other stuff, I don't think it's a good idea to be drinking a beverage which was made with boiling water poured over plastic and left to sit for 10 minutes. My next stop was a completely metal infuser/strainer and I found one that was decent, however, I find that I'm really sensitive to metallic tastes and even though I believe it's made of stainless steel, I can still taste something "off" about the tea I make with it. Years ago, my spouse and I had a glass teakettle with a glass infuser. I remembered that the glass between two of the slits had broken so it didn't really steep tea. But we keep it because it looks pretty. Anyway, I found a couple of "test-tube"-style glass infusers and the complaints were about them being hard to clean (which makes sense for something 3/4" in diameter and at the bottom of a tube), so I passed on those. When I found this glass infuser with a lid (which is really important because I want a place to set my dripping infuser once the tea has finished steeping), I knew I had to give it a shot. It was packaged very securely and did not have any damage. I washed it by hand (although I can see throwing it in the dishwasher if I keep it away from other heavy stuff like coffee mugs) and the lid was a little hard to get clean to because of the lip, but really there shouldn't be much debris that collects on it. I made my first cup of tea with it and it was good, as expected, and no weird metallic taste (again, as expected). The only thing I am knocking one star off for is that I can see a few tiny tea leaves (or parts thereof) stuck in the slits. A soapy dishwashing sponge was insufficient to dislodge them, so I will likely need to use some sort of baby-bottle brush or something. I realize that if the manufacturer made the slits large enough so that they didn't trap the leaves, then the leaves would enter the beverage. And if they made them smaller, then the tea wouldn't steep properly. So I appreciate the dilemma they faced. I just think including a small brush would have helped with that. (Also, when filling the infuser with water, it drains into the mug very slowly, so I needed to give it more time while pouring. Not a big problem, just required me to pour more slowly than I had gotten used to with the metal infusers.)

I had purchased a fine glass tea cup that came with a glass infuser. I enjoyed the elegance of using such a cup to create a bit more ceremony to tea time. Unfortunately I dropped the infuser and it shattered into shards. No fixing it. So I cruised through Amazon and found this one. It comes well packaged to protect it during shipping. So much so I saved it's box to store it in. Very well made infuser. It fits my cup just right and the lid holds it securely without making a puddle on the table. Let the tea drain out completely first. Worth the cost for the quality of design and function. While you're at it get the tea measuring spoon by the same company. Make tea time the oasis in your day.

After quite a bit of research I found this particular infuser to replace a broken infuser. This TeaBloom infuser is more “universal” in terms of fitting on different types of cups, and even teapots, with its wider top lip and graduated design. (Even so, I’d measure the container(s) you’d like to use it with, to get an idea of whether it will work for you.) Turns out that this infuser is quite an improvement over the original infuser I had, and fits perfectly on my unbroken borosilicate teacup—thanks to the wide lip design. The glass is thicker, sturdier and safe, and also made of high quality borosilicate glass—a distinction you will not find on all glass tea infusers sold on Amazon. I also appreciate the, thick, multifunctional lid that doubles as a drip tray. This infuser is an upgrade and fairly priced.

Works well but it’s too small. I want a BIG cup of tea and this doesn’t cut it. It won’t fit in a big wide mug so I had to go back to my teapot. For travel though, it’s perfect.

Side chipped off easily.

Works with my borosilicate volumetric beaker mugs! This is the second one I'm buying because I lost my first one. It is loose, so I pad the upper rim with ribbon or rubber or w/e. No metal/plastic taste, if you're sensitive to those. It doesn't carry old flavors like fiber does. Very minor leaf particulate does get through the strainer. Some get caught in it, but I've found it easy to clean. It IS made of borosilicate, so like test tubes it is very durable and able to handle some sudden temperature change even open flame. However, borosilicate is also prone to invisible microfracture. So if it drops a significant distance and doesn't break, I would be wary after. It's thicker, but I've seen enough test tubes appear to randomly shatter.

Buscaba un producto que no se oxidara con el paso del tiempo y que fuera de un material noble. En este aspecto el filtro cumple. El problema es que al cabo de una semana de comprarlo se ha roto por la parte de los cortes. Ni tan siquiera sé cuándo ocurrió... Otra desventaja es que si infusionas rooibos las hojas son más pequeñas y se meten por los agujeros.

Es wird ein sehr guter Geschmack des Tees erzielt

This is the second time I’ve purchased this (this time as a gift). Bought this for loose leaf tea, as an alternative to the stainless steel mesh ones that tend to get stained regardless of the name. It’s great. Only one leaf managed to get through the tiny slits. Works well even in the glass mug (see photos of lemongrass and ginger tea). Lovely to watch the tea as it brews and the lid keeps the heat in as well as being useful as a saucer. Only one caveat: if you lift the infuser and decide to put it back in the mug, it will displace the liquid and it’ll flow over the top.

Très bien

Lo uso para infusión de hojas de té y me va muy bien. Se debe manejar con cuidado para no romperlo.
