Description
From the sellerHere is a beautiful old brass mesh hanging tea strainer with attached drip tray for brewing loose-leaf tea. The hooked arm hangs securely over the rim of a cup or small teapot while the fine mesh basket holds tea leaves during steeping. After use, the basket rests in the built-in drip tray to catch excess tea. Tea strainers of this style were widely used throughout the 20th century before tea bags became the dominant brewing method and remain popular among loose-leaf tea enthusiasts and collectors of vintage tea accessories.
