This 1 3/4" stainless steel mesh tea ball is the right size to brew one cup of tea. The small mesh keeps the leaves in the ball and not in your cup.
Simply place one teaspoon of tea in the ball, latch and drop into an eight ounce cup of hot water.
Average brew times: black tea- 3 minutes green tea- 3 minutes oolong tea- 3-5 minutes white tea- 2 minutes fruit tea- 5 minutes herb tea- 3 to 5 minutes
