Review on 🐷 Tovolo Tea Ball Loose Leaf Strainer Cup Mug Infuser - Convenient, Dishwasher Safe, Adorable Pig Design! by Marcus Dorgham

Revainrating 4 out of 5

My thoughts on usage.

There are some reviews on how to use this product that I found confusing so I wanted to weigh them up. I found TeaGo surprisingly easy to clean. The strainer can be removed from the rest of the body and you can use a 'squeezer' to remove the stuck tea. I've found that it's easiest to let the tea dry before whipping it or crushing it with a press. The sieve is so thin that the tea does not get stuck in the sieve so much, but in a small space. The team doesn't have a lot of room to bloom and it can get quite difficult to hook up the press and reseal everything once the tea has bloomed if you add too much (that's my only complaint). I'd also like to add that I don't think the press is for squeezing tea for drinking, it's for removing excess water so you can put the lid back on without worrying about leaks and it helps preserve the tea leaves to remove during cleaning.

Pros
  • STAINLESS STEEL CHAIN: The steel chain does not rust and is easy to clean. The chain makes it easy to drop the tea infuser into a cup of hot water and then quickly remove it after you've had a cup of tea.
Cons
  • unreliable
