This mesh tea ball from Starwest Botanicals is sized at 2.5 inches across and made of stainless steel, giving loose leaf tea, herbs, or spices room to unfurl while steeping.
A clip chain lets it hook onto the side of a mug for easy brewing and removal. Starwest suggests filling the infuser only about half full, so the leaves have space to expand as they brew.
A simple, reusable alternative to disposable tea bags for anyone steeping loose herbs at home.
