A tea clip: the ideal tool for letting your organic tea reveal its full flavor
With its fine stainless steel mesh, this tea clip allows loose leaves to steep freely and release their true essence. The stainless steel construction is completely flavor-neutral, so nothing stands between you and your tea. Easy to use in a cup or a small teapot, simply lower it into hot water and use the handle to lift it out safely once steeping is done. The tea clip works as a filter and is compatible with all types of tea. White, black, and green teas all benefit from this gentle approach, as the leaves remain intact throughout the infusion.
How to use your tea clip
Getting started
Using your tea clip correctly makes all the difference, both for protecting the leaves and for keeping your hands safe. Here are all the tips you need to get the most out of it.
How much tea should you put in the mesh?
The right amount of tea depends on what you're brewing. A black tea and an herbal infusion call for different quantities, so always check the instructions on your chosen tea packaging.
How do you fill the mesh?
Simply squeeze the stainless steel handle to open the mesh, add your loose-leaf tea inside, then release the pressure. The mesh closes on its own, and your tea is ready to steep in the cup.
Why a tea clip is perfect for loose-leaf tea
The tea clip is wonderfully easy to use and to clean. A quick rinse under the tap is all it takes. Using loose-leaf tea in a tea clip's mesh also means you use exactly the amount you need, with no waste and no single-use packaging.
Frequently asked questions about the tea clip
How do you clean a tea clip?
After each infusion, open the mesh, discard the leaves, and rinse the clip under cold water. Stainless steel doesn't hold onto odors or stains and won't rust, so a quick dry before storing is all you need. It's also dishwasher safe.
Does a tea clip work with all types of tea?
Yes. The fine mesh catches everything from the large leaves of a black tea to the finer particles of a green tea, white tea, rooibos, or herbal infusion. It's the go-to accessory for brewing any loose-leaf tea by the cup.
Tea clip or tea ball: which one to choose?
A tea clip opens and closes with one hand, making it ideal when you want a quick cup. A tea ball offers a little more capacity and comes with a chain to hang it over the cup. Both allow the leaves to unfurl properly for a full, flavorful infusion.
