Review on ☕ The Perfect Tea Brewing Companion: OXO Brew Tea Infuser Basket Unveiled! by Ryan Farias

I'll tell you why your tea tastes like cardboard, but after using this brewer it won't. Let's start with the fact that 9 years ago, in 2011, I became an avid lover of tea and herbal teas. I'm an herbalist and the tools we use really make a difference when it comes to brewing herbal concoctions that aren't bitter or tasteless but retain their healing properties. . The container you brew in is also VERY important, and with 95% of herbs coming in loose and in bulk rather than individual bags, it's important to have great tools like this stainless steel brew basket. Metal brewers leach iron and shavings into your tea by reacting with the natural minerals present in the tea! This is NOT bueno! In any case, I often have to brew a lot of medicinal tea for myself or my customers. I have used strainers, reusable cotton teabags, silicone tea infuser, ball infuser with a stainless steel cup, kettle with a brewing basket inside, etc. You name it, I've tried it. Nothing compares to how much I love THIS tea infuser. It fits perfectly in my 3.25" teacup. PERFECT for one cup of tea. Not only that, it's almost perfect for small 1 liter jars with lids! That means on the days I'm 2, 5 cups of tea, simply add 3 more teaspoons of loose tea to my OXO tea infuser, pour into a glass jar, pour water over the herbs and BOOM 3 large teas for me or 2 generous steam teas Brilliant is the silicone coating on the underside of the handles and lid rim.It retains all the fragrant, aromatic and healthy oils in your tea so you don't drink tasteless cardboard water.This is very noticeable in blends with the natural oils of Limonene, Menthol and Eucalyptus found in teas such as Mint, Eucalyptus , Lemon Ginger, Tea and Earl Gray can be found. Now you know why your tea was awful. They release all the aromatic oils when brewed without a lid! The silicone coated handles and lid seal with the mug too, ha keep the tea hot and the valuable oils inside. Stop drinking cardboard water and brew tea with lids in front of people! I am so thankful that this brew basket has such a great lid. Use it. On days when I have period cramps and need a bunch of red raspberry leaves, I toss a small handful of herbs in a brew basket, place them in a quart jar, and brew. I have enough tea for the next 3 hours and by then almost all of my cramps will be gone. (Not to mention it tastes like white tea!) Check out the photos! I use it ALL. DAY. and I don't plan on staying over the summer. I'm just going to brew a very strong iced green tea and dilute it with this basket. Tea all year round is easy!
