Perfect Tea Ball

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!

This is a great tea ball! It really keeps the tea leaves out of your tea. Easy to use. Love it!

I got this tea ball the other day when I stocked up on more Earl Grey, and got a blend of Samurai Chai Mate & White Ayurvedic Chai. This tea ball is perfect, the tiny holes on the sides keep back every trace of a tea leave, even the tiny twigs! It is big enough for a pot of tea, but it is also small enough for a single cup. There is only one thing that I don't like about this ball, the holes on the top. These holes are slightly bigger than the ones on the side (which is perfect for tipping over and letting out excess tea that didn't get through the tiny holes) but when I brewed my Chai/Chai blend the tiny twigs slipped right through the holes the second I placed it in my water, but other than that; it is perfect.

This little tea ball is a staple for all tea lovers. I love that it is stainless steal. The holes are so fine that no tea leaves get through into your cup. It does a great job. I have more than one tea ball. When I have guests over for tea, they can have their tea ball with their own flavor of tea of their liking if they wish. I have one for work also. I like the idea of the Perfectea Maker, but I don't like the plastic.
Don't ever get rid of the classic tea ball.

Great infuser. Works perfectly. Cleans easily. Helps make the perfect cup of tea every time! Must have product for your tea.

I had the old version that was Swiss gold and plastic. It was great at keeping sediments out of my cup of tea. Until I killed it in the garbage disposal. Oops. They have since replaced that model with this all silver model. I was cautious at first because I didn't know if the mesh would be fine enough or the cap would be tight enough. Thankfully it is. I use this at work. I get a cup of hot water from the dispenser, drop the tea into the ball and the ball into the water. The chain makes it easy to retrieve. I pull the ball out and place it on a plate. After I've finished my cup (usually hours later) I resteep the wet tea in the tea ball. I drink black and mate, so they can take it. I leave it to dry overnight, tap out the old leaves, rinse it out and do it again the next day. I add sugar after pulling out the ball because I'm afraid sugar and honey will gunk up the holes. I admit I don't always remember to clean up my cup immediately. For that I like the stainless steel because it seems more sanitary than plastic. Esp for the health conscious afraid of heat and plastic being mixed in food. The container is roomy about 1.5" at bottom, about 2" at top and a little less than 3" tall. The botoom also has three nubby feet to help it stand upright on the plate. I think the 13 bucks is well worth it and I couldn't find it any cheaper. Works for me! Perhaps in the future, not so good for my garbage disposal though...

Simple, efficient and no nonsense. I use this for a single cup AND/OR a pot. Simply stated, it is a device that keeps the tea leaves out of the tea. It's not fancy, and it's not complex. It's not cute. But it does what it needs to. It's simplicity is its strength. There's really no way it can break. I have more than one, and I like to load them all at once and use them as I need them.
