Infusers & Strainers

Infuse regular teas no less than 3 minutes (to allow the taste to come through), and no more than 5 minutes (to keep the bitter tannin at bay). For infusion time of herbal teas, check their instructions, as each species has different requirements.

Fill infusers only up to half their capacity, to allow the leaves to expand and release the tea's essential oils.

Use a tea strainer when leaves are placed loose in a tea pot. Strain into cups as soon as possible after the recommended infusion time. Tea leaves left in the cup or tea pot will otherwise continue to increase the tannin content and its undesirable taste.

Remember to match the size of the opening of your cup or tea pot with the size of the infuser or strainer.

For hotter tea, rinse the cup or tea pot with hot water (from kettle or spigot) before use.

Additional information on teas can be found in our Tea Guide.
