In principle, a very nice product, as long as you want to brew only relatively coarse tea. Finer tea, for example, chamomile flowers, clog the very close-meshed strainer immediately and for this difficult to remove. The very tight weave also cause that pour the tea, that is through the strainer through, insofar is annoying, as that can be poured very slowly. Otherwise, the infusion water will not go down the way through the sieve but above upon it.
