What kind of strainer do you use? Fine tea infuser or normal strainer like this http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Loose-L...

I use tea strainer, and it is also depend on how fine you grind them since it's comes with whole beans. I have no problem with tea strainer.

I used a large tea infuser for pitchers of tea....I am able to get 3 large pitchers out of 1 bag - I like mine quite strong - then add extra ice, and water to serve. If you preferred less strong tea you probably to make 4 pitchers per bag.

You will need a strainer. There are several very nice ones for sale on Amazon. I personally bought the Empress Tea Strainer.

The tea infuser for me is easy to clean. After done using I turn over in a napkin after and then wipe it clean. It also depends on type of tea steeping as to if it sticks in fine side of strainer. You shouldn't have a lot of leafs going down drain if you dump into trash first with a light rub then rinse in sink. I had a spoon type steeper that I didn't like cause I keep putting to much tea in it that swelled up during steeping not giving the full flavor this I put a few pinches which is perfect then upside down leafs come out especially if left long enough to dry. :)

This has two lids. Strainer to glass. This is where the loose tea is kept. Then a lid from strainer to top. This is the top you open to drink. You never have to worry about drinking loose tea. Love this product.

The past answers below recommend tucking in the long part of the filter, which is correct, but what type flavor is your concern? If the tea is very fine, then twist the filter above the tea line and do not submerge above the tea line.

Typically when brewing tea in a teapot, you use a strainer when pouring the tea, not inside the pot. So this would work for that, but is not a typical use, as I understand. I used this for brewing one cup at a time, in the cup.

What I do is put the tea in the carafe, there is a strainer, and add the boiling or hot water and turn on the tea warmer. Let the tea infuse, as long as you like, pull the strainer ..... a pot of tea!

No there the pot does not come with an infuser, but it is a beautiful teapot. I ordered an infuser on amazon.com and it was quite reasonably priced, stainless steal, and fit perfectly. When looking for an infuser I would advise you make certain you check the size as a larger infuser will not fit in the teapot.

yes there is a strainer built in. the strainer is inside the pot at the exit spout, it is part of the pot!! i love this tea pot< the best i ever had!olga

Oscar, the infuser is meant for loose leaf teas not tea bags. The plunger is designed to open the infuser not squeeze the tea. Hope that helps. Don (Schefs)

I purchased the strainer to use when I make alternative milks (almond, coconut, hemp). It lets too many of the fine particulates through. I use it for other purposes now. It is a great strainer but the mesh isn't as fine as I need. I'm not sure about your question... are you wanting to 'sift' fine (dry) powder, or strain tea leaves from a liquid? I can't answer you question other than to let you know that as I strained the alternative milks through the strainer it did not prevent much of the pulp from getting through. Hope that gives you an idea.

Yes it will, I have used herbal teas which are fine but some residue does come out but that's with any strainer or extra fine tea. Holes are small tho it works well you will be satisfied. Just follow my other post to make sure the gap is sealed . those that use ground teas please read title before buying and giving bad reviews. It's your fault for buying a ground tea and using a loose leaf strainer.........

Hmmm...I've never used a strainer. I just squeezed my fist through the hole where the lid goes (it fits). Does that help?

I've never used fine tea powder, so I'm not sure. The strainer is finely woven & to test it for you I took the finest thing in my kitchen similar to powder a cake flour & it held it well in the strainer. I had to really force it through like a sifter to get the flour through. I hope that answers your question.

The mesh of the infuser is very fine. It prevented debris of the loose tea from getting into the cup. There were still some very very fine particles that escaped that were like the texture/size of cinnamon but I do not think any infuser can prevent that.

Hi Kathleen, Yes the infuser is not designed for really fine tea, so you will likely not get the brewing experience you hope for in that situation. However, there are hundreds of beautiful tea varieties available that are not fine and should fit the bill nicely! Sincerely, Bridgett Tulloh, Founder of Flourish and Thrive
