Take precision tea steeping to new heights with this fine stainless steel tea basket. Numerous micro holes line the walls of this structured metal filter allowing for three critical processes that lead to great tasting tea: 1) cross-flow in a large volume basket releases full bodied tea infusions, 2) fine filtering so that even the smallest leaf bits and herbals, like rooibos, don't escape into your infusion, and 3) rapid draining when your infusion is complete allows for precise steeping and re-steeping.
