How do you achieve perfect tea enjoyment? In addition to good tea and high-quality water, the most important factors are flavor development and brewing time - and therefore the tea strainer. A stainless steel model is ideal: tasteless, rust-free and easy to clean. A fine mesh prevents tea particles from getting into the cup. Two handles give the strainer a stable hold on the cup or pot. It is also generously sized and cylindrical in shape so that the tea leaves have enough space to unfold and release their aroma. Our close-meshed stainless steel strainer is suitable for preparing your tea in both the individual cup and the pot and offers enough space even for voluminous varieties such as herbal tea made from sage leaves or fruit tea with apple peel - and it also ensures a clear cup for fine green or black tea.

In Japan, tea is much more than just a drink - it is part of a culture deeply influenced by Zen Buddhism. The Chado, the "way of tea", which has been practiced since the 16th century, is based on the four basic principles of Wa (harmony), Kei (respect), Sei (purity) and Jaku (inner peace). In addition to the formal matcha ceremony, a more everyday tea culture has developed over time. Here, too, harmony and inner peace are essential, but instead of tea powder, the focus is on teas made from whole leaves. High-quality green teas such as Sencha, Bancha or Genmaicha are traditionally brewed several times, with each infusion revealing new nuances of flavor. A good tea strainer is needed for this to succeed. Brewed in a tasteless sieve, the leaves can be removed with precise timing and are ready for the next infusion. Against the backdrop of refined tea enjoyment and the ritual of multiple infusions, our manufacturer creates a tea strainer that can only be found in Japan: manufactured by Yoshikawa in Tsubame, in a region with a centuries-old metalware culture, made of stainless steel and thought out with mastery down to the smallest detail.
