Best Long Handled Tea Strainers Buying Guide
Before choosing the best long handled tea strainer you should consider following options:
1. Material: A good tea strainer is made from a heatproof material like stainless steel or borosilicate glass.
Stainless steel is durable, affordable, and easy to clean. The only downside is that it can stain with tea leaves over time.
Borosilicate glass is transparent, so you can see the tea leaves and the color of the tea.
The only drawback is that it’s breakable, so you have to be extra careful when handling it.
2. Size: The size of the strainer is important as you will use it to strain tea for single or multiple cups.
The size also depends on the size of your teapot. For example, if your teapot is small, you will need a smaller strainer.
3. Rim diameter: The purpose of the rim is to hold the tea leaves after the straining process.
A larger rim diameter helps in two ways: first, it catches more tea leaves; second, it makes it easier for the tea to flow into the cup.
4. Rim thickness: If you prefer a stronger-flavored tea, then go for a thicker-rimmed strainer.
5. Rim material: A thicker-rimmed strainer usually has a wider and wider rim made of steel or borosilicate glass.
