Reinmoson Large Tea Infuser for Loose Tea

The mesh is impressively fine - 18 reviewers specifically praised how well it keeps tea particles from escaping, even with fine teas like rooibos or broken leaf blacks. That said, there's one quirk to know about: the holes on the bottom are slightly larger than on the sides, so a few ultra-fine particles might slip through if you're brewing something really powdery. For most loose leaf teas though, you'll get a clean, sediment-free cup.

It's genuinely easy to clean - 12 reviewers called this out as a major plus. Most people just rinse it under running water and the leaves come right out. It's also dishwasher safe if you prefer that route. The fine mesh is sturdy enough to handle a gentle scrub without getting damaged, though you'll want to avoid being too rough with it since mesh can be fragile if you're aggressive.

This is worth being honest about: while the infuser is made from 304 stainless steel (which should resist rust), 5 reviewers reported rusting or discoloration after minimal use. Most people haven't had this issue, but it does happen. To minimize risk, hand wash and dry it thoroughly rather than leaving it sitting wet, and maybe skip the dishwasher despite it being labeled dishwasher safe.

Yes - 6 reviewers mentioned the good capacity with room for tea expansion. The threaded lid screws on securely, so you can fill it generously without worrying about it popping open. The long chain also means you can hang it in various sized teapots or mugs. It's a solid choice whether you're steeping a delicate white tea that needs space or a hearty black tea.

Yes! It includes a drip tray/saucer that sits underneath when you remove the infuser from your cup. 7 reviewers appreciated this feature. One person did mention the saucer fits almost too perfectly with minimal room for excess liquid, so if you're steeping something really wet, you might want to set it on a small plate instead for extra drip capacity.

It's versatile! While it excels at loose leaf tea (black tea, rooibos, etc.), the extra fine mesh and secure screw-top design make it great for other uses too. Some reviewers use it as a spice infuser for cooking - think mulling spices, bouquet garni, or brewing kombucha. The 304 stainless steel construction means it can handle hot liquids without any issues.
