## Description

HIC Kitchen’s English Tea Strainer easily strains loose tea leaves from the brew when pouring steeped tea from a teapot or other tea steeping vessel. Pour a perfect cup of tea every time. The English Tea Strainer fits over the cup rim without holding it in place so hands stay safely away from hot contents. It efficiently catches tea leaves and strains tea for a cleaner brew. Simply rest the strainer on top of the cup. Pour the steeped tea from the teapot, or other steeping vessel, through the strainer and into the cup. A useful addition to kitchen utensils and tea accessories, it’s easy to use and empty, and compact for easy storage. Made from Japanese stainless steel. Hand wash in warm, soapy water.

Review: HIC Kitchen Premium Tea Strainer - Stainless Steel Tip-Style - For decades I had a WMF silver plated swivel tea sieve from Germany ( got it as a wedding gift in 1961) and due to almost everyday use the silver plate started looking shabby and the swivel sieve was worn out. After a long search on the internet I tried desertcart, and there it was: stainless steel, not as expensive as those on Etsy ("antiques") and very functional (the swivel part is still a little hard to swivel, but I have now again a combination of tea sieve with an attached drip catcher. Fancy silver plate? Oh well, I couldn't care less: I am almost 90 years old and am happy enough with stainless steel!
Review: In short, it's flawless - Rewriting this because we just ordered two more. The one I bought 8 years ago still looks as pristine as the new ones, not a single fraying wire or anything. And although it is so fine it hasn't ever gotten clogged from buildup (I was expecting to have to soak it in vinegar periodically but nope). In the years since buying the first one we got a few locally because we wanted spares but didn't just reorder this to save the hassle of waiting for mailorder stuff. And we learned that most sieves have the handle spot welded onto the sieve edge, creating a weak point right at the part of the device that endures the most force, so eventually it snaps off. My husband strains the scary slime out when he pours a cup of of kombucha so naturally he taps the sieve face-down over the garbage or sink to remove the slime, and those other, flimsy, badly-designed sieves can't handle the impact. They kept breaking after less than a year of use. THIS gorgeous design has a single sturdy rod bent all around, forming the handle AND the sieve rim, ONE PIECE, so there's no spotweld to break! Being all-stainless, it also doesn't care about the acidity of all that kombucha, while we've has ones from the grocer that start to rust, making you wonder what's getting into your drink. These are so, so much better than other sieves!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good strainer, used for drying small membrane parts
*by C***W on April 15, 2016*

I am giving four stars because I think it would work better if the little strainer could be lifted off of the setup. I think that would make use much better. However, it works well and I'm happy with it, so four stars! The best way to describe this contraption is that it is a min-strainer, that is on a hinge (there are connections along the rim at the two places it touches the rest of the contraption). This means the strainer can be leaned or "rocked". There is a tall handle (highest point of the item) and a pan at the bottom to collect excess liquid (lowest part of the item). I use this to dry small membranes (from a breast pump) after washing. For that purpose, I would like for the strainer to be able to be lifted away, but otherwise I am quite happy with this product!
