Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Place your desired amount of loose-leaf tea into the strainer.
- Rest the strainer over the rim of your teacup or teapot.
- Pour hot water over the tea leaves in the strainer.
- Allow the tea to steep for the recommended time.
- Carefully remove the strainer.
Compatibility:
This tea strainer is compatible with most standard teacups and teapots. It is designed for use with loose-leaf teas, including whole leaves, broken leaves, and herbal blends. It is not recommended for tea dust or very finely ground teas, as these may pass through the mesh.
Care:
To maintain the beauty and functionality of your Raw Crystal Gemstone Tea Strainer:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the strainer thoroughly with warm water to remove tea residue.
- Gentle Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or sponge with mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the gemstone or the gold finish.
- Hand Wash Recommended: Handwashing is the best method to preserve the integrity of the gemstone and the metal.
- Dry Thoroughly: Ensure the strainer is completely dry before storing to prevent water spots or mineral buildup.
- Gemstone Care: Avoid prolonged soaking of the gemstone, and be mindful of dropping the strainer, as raw gemstones can be delicate.
