Prodyne Tea Infuser

Yes, the stainless steel mesh is designed with a fine weave that effectively contains most loose leaf varieties, including smaller rooibos or fannings, ensuring a clean cup without sediment.

This infuser is best suited for standard black, green, or white teas. If you are brewing bulky herbal blends that expand significantly, you may find the capacity a bit tight, which can restrict water circulation and limit flavor extraction.

The stainless steel construction is dishwasher safe, but for the best longevity, we recommend rinsing it under warm water immediately after use. If tea oils build up over time, a quick soak in a mixture of baking soda and water will restore the mesh.

While the charm is metal, it typically sits above the water line when placed in a standard mug. However, it can conduct heat, so it is best to use a spoon or a towel to lift it out if you have been steeping for a long duration.

The hinge is constructed from stainless steel and is designed for regular, daily use. Like any mechanical strainer, it is best to open it gently rather than forcing it to ensure the clasp remains secure over time.
