Perfect Tea Ball

At least have the decency to offer a "small" or "Large" tea ball. I know you want us to use more tea, but this thing is laughably large. Very easy to use, i really do like it. But, the blatant attempt to have us use more tea...is insulting. I cannot fit it in a tea cup. It's use is intended for a cup or tumbler. It barely fits in a small tea pot. Really now..

This tea diffuser is amazing. I drink all types of tea with all types of tea leaves. I drink tea at work and the tea diffuser is convenient. In the past, I used the mesh balls but they were always a pain to clean, would rust, and grew mold really quickly. With this tea diffuser, it's stainless steel so it doesn't rust, it is easy to clean and it contains all the tea leaves. I'm not sure why other viewers complain that tea comes out. the holes are so small that no leaves come out. Perhaps you should be mindful of which tea leaves you use in this diffuser. I have put earl gay, green tea, chamomille, rooibus, and chai teas and have had zero issues. Also, the lid is easy to open and close. Once again, I'm not sure why others have trouble opening it.

This tea ball let out so much tea. The fine mess around the sides work well but the holes on the top lid are bigger and let out chunks of tea leafs. It was so terrible I am going to return it.

I don't know why anyone would complain about this product. I've tried a couple different things, and this by far exceeded my expectations. I use it for single cups or entire pots. If you use it properly it will make perfect tea every time.

I received this as a gift for my birthday. At the time I was thrilled to get this because it looked fantastic. When I made my first cup with it (black coco mint) there was quite a bit at the bottom of the cup by the time it was done steeping. My second cup (samurai mate) was the same story. My third cup (tranquil dream) let out more than ever before. While I drank the cup of tea I got mouthfuls of the tea. It was very unpleasant. For the money that this costs, I think it is downright stupid. A friend of mine has a tea steeper from the dollar store that doesn't do this. I will be storing this in my pantry and never using it. Such a shame.

The holes in the lid allow small leaf particles to pass through. The lid also does not fit on top of the infuser well, making it difficult to put on/remove. Poor design altogether.

I bought this with high hopes. It does work, however, any tea with small "Particles" leves small pieces in your tea, by way of the bigger holes at the top. I wish they were a bit smaller..

I just threw mine out today after months of frustration. It seems like it would be the perfect tea ball. In terms on its steeping ability and the material, I find it second to none. All of this is negated by the fact that the cap does not properly lock into the body. It gets jammed and is nearly impossible to get off again. I would spend endless frustration trying to get it off. Today the thing broke for the second time. I had lost the will to repair it only to go through the painful process of using this product again. I only put up with it as long as I did to justify the price I paid for this rather costly tea ball.

The whole reason of buying a tea ball with laser-drilled holes is to use it with very small-leaf teas. Why on earth they added holes on the top that are 10x larger than the laser holes is beyond me. The tea floats right on out of the top holes and effectively makes this useless for teas with small particles.

I love this tea ball! It's so easy to use and the mesh is small enough not to let leaves out, but large enough to let out the flavor. It's also really easy to clean, though I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher.
Thanks, Teavana!
