Stainless Steel Tea Strainer
Stainless Steel Tea Strainer
Stainless Steel, Gold, Rose Gold, Black + All 4 Colors | 7" Length | 2" Ball | Fine Filtration | Reusable | Dishwasher Safe | Plastic-Free Shipping
The permanent replacement for the single-use tea bag.
Most tea bags are made with plastic — polypropylene heat-sealed into the bag itself, or nylon mesh in the “silken” pyramid varieties. They steep in boiling water, release microplastics into the cup, and then go straight to landfill. The Bamboo Switch Tea Strainer replaces all of that with a single stainless steel ball that opens, fills with loose-leaf tea, closes, and drops into a mug — the same ritual, none of the plastic. The fine mesh filtration catches even small-grain teas without clogging, and the 7-inch chain and handle keep everything easy to retrieve without fishing in hot water.
At 2 inches in diameter the ball holds enough tea for a full mug’s worth of loose-leaf without overpacking — the standard scoop size for most varieties. Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning between uses. Available in Stainless Steel, Gold, Rose Gold, Black, or all four — the version that goes where it lives: on the counter, by the kettle, in the mug.

Native Manor Note: Tea bags are one of the overlooked plastic sources in a kitchen that has otherwise eliminated single-use plastic. Most contain polypropylene — a plastic that steeps in boiling water with every cup and ends in landfill after one use. The stainless steel strainer closes that gap in about ten seconds: fill, steep, rinse, repeat. Dishwasher safe, indefinitely reusable, and available in four finishes. The swap that takes one minute and stays made.
