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

Stainless steel. Chosen for what it’s made of, not what it’s wrapped in.
