Besego Long-Handle Tea Strainers - 2pcs, Premium Tea Infuser Filter for Loose Leaf Tea, Reusable Tea Interval Diffuser for Teapot

Good for all kinds of loose tea but not as easy to empty after use

These work well, even for finer teas! I've been using them for months now, and they still hold tension and stay closed while steeping. The best I've found so far for loose tea.

I’ve only had this for a day, but it is going to be my new go-to for making loose leaf tea.Here’s what it does well: 1) the seal is tight. When it’s closed, it’s closed. There’s no gap between the two halves and therefore no leakage or spillage of tea leaves into your drink. My other tea ball that opens sideways when you grip it, has a closing force not as strong and tea leaves fall into the water. Not with this one.2) The holes are very small. You only get the smallest of particles, or tea dust, in your brew which is negligible.Here’s what’s a little awkward: filling it with tea. Since the halves of the ball separate on the top and bottom, it’s a little tricky to fill with loose leaf tea. You could stick it into your container and press and release to scoop, but I think you’d end up with leaves stuck between the two halves. For now, I just carefully pour into the bottom half. This also makes cleaning a little difficult.Regardless, this is a great tool for steeping tea. It’s easy and there’s no leaking of tea leaves.

98% perfect. Exactly what it should be. It says a long handle but I expected it to be about two inches longer

This is more for a pot of tea than a cup, way too big for cups of tea. Good quality.
