Raw Crystal Gemstone Tea Strainer - Gold Tigers Eye

Yes, each tea strainer features a genuine, raw gemstone at its core. The Gold Tigers Eye is an authentic natural stone.

Gently wipe the gemstone with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking, as this can affect the stone's natural integrity and the strainer's finish.

With proper care, including handwashing and avoiding abrasive materials, the gold finish is designed to last. However, like all finishes, excessive wear or harsh cleaning can lead to wear over time.

This strainer is designed specifically for loose-leaf tea. Coffee grounds are typically much finer and may clog the mesh or pass through, affecting the taste and clarity of your beverage.

The product information focuses on the gemstone's presence and uniqueness. For specific sourcing details, please refer to the manufacturer's policies or contact their customer service.

Specific dimensions are not provided in the product description, but it is designed to fit standard teacups and teapots.

It is strongly recommended to hand wash this tea strainer. Dishwasher detergents and the high heat can damage the gemstone and the gold finish.

Ensure the mesh is properly seated and that you are not overfilling the strainer. For very fine teas, consider using a double-filtering method or a strainer with a tighter mesh, though this specific strainer is designed for standard loose leaves.

Gently clean the gold finish with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for gold-plated or brass items. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

Handle the strainer with care. If the gemstone appears significantly loose, contact customer support. Avoid forcing or twisting the gemstone.

Soak the strainer in warm water for a few minutes, then gently scrub the mesh with a soft brush or sponge and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly.
