Bellocq Tea Strainer

The Petite strainer is designed to perch on the rim of a standard mug, making it ideal for single-cup brewing. The Deep Basket is larger and deeper, specifically crafted to fit inside teapots or larger vessels for brewing larger quantities of looseleaf tea.

No, these strainers are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the silver-plated finish, simply rinse them with warm water and pat them dry immediately after each use.

Yes, because these are silver-plated, they will naturally develop a light tarnish with regular use. Many owners appreciate this patina as it documents the strainer's history in their home, but you can polish it if you prefer to maintain a bright shine.

These strainers feature a standard mesh weave suitable for most looseleaf teas. While they handle traditional whole-leaf teas perfectly, extremely fine dust or powdered teas may pass through the mesh.

The strainers are crafted with a durable stainless steel base that is then finished with a silver plating. This combination provides the strength of steel with the elegant aesthetic of silver.
