Over-Cup Tea Strainer

Sometimes the simplest tools are the most useful, and this over-cup tea strainer is a perfect example. It's a fine-mesh stainless steel strainer designed to rest across the top of your mug or glass while you pour brewed tea through it, catching every leaf, particle, and sediment so your drink is perfectly clear. It's particularly useful when you're brewing loose leaf tea in a pot or pitcher without a built-in infuser — just brew, then strain directly into your glass. The fine mesh is tight enough to catch even the smallest tea dust and fannings, so you get a completely clean pour every time. It's also excellent for straining cold brew tea that's been steeping loose in a jar, or for pouring matcha that's been whisked in a bowl. Unlike a built-in infuser, this strainer is universal — it works with any vessel, any tea, and any brewing method. It's dishwasher safe, takes up almost no drawer space, and costs almost nothing. Every tea lover should have one.
