Why we picked it
An 18/8 stainless basket deep enough for leaves to open fully, with a lid that doubles as a drip tray for the counter. Most paper tea bags carry a heat-sealed strip of plastic, which is a strange thing to steep in boiling water, and a steel basket retires the question. It fits mugs and teapots alike, and it comes apart to rinse in seconds.
What it’s made of
