Tea Infuser Mesh Basket (FDA 21 CFR / EU 1935/2004 food contact) is used for steeping loose-leaf tea in a mug or teapot inside a fine stainless basket that is lifted out when brewing is done.
Also known as: metal mesh tea infuser, metal mesh tea strainer, tea ball, stainless steel tea infuser
Diameter & depth: Deep baskets let leaves expand; match the mug or pot opening.
Hole size: 0.15 mm for most teas; 0.10 mm for rooibos and broken leaf.
Handles & lid: Folding handles rest on the rim; the lid doubles as a drip tray.
Materials
Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.
Fitting & Care
Leave space for leaves to unfurl; fill no more than a third of the basket.
Clean tannin stains with baking soda paste rather than abrasive pads.
Common Mistakes
Choosing a small tea ball for whole-leaf oolong, which cannot open up.
Using a coarse infuser for rooibos, which escapes into the cup.
When Tea Infuser Mesh Basket Is Not the Right Choice
Not for large batch brewing in urns, where a cartridge or bag is better.
Tea Infuser Mesh Basket is made to order as finished parts. Indicative pricing starts from about US$0.55 per piece for a standard size at production quantity; the final price depends on size, material, finish, tooling and order volume. Send your configuration from the drawing above for a quotation.

One that fills most of the mug or pot opening, so leaves have room to expand.
How do I remove tea stains from a stainless infuser?
Soak in warm water with baking soda or a little citric acid, then rinse.
Will fine tea leak through a mesh infuser?
Very fine tea dust can; a 0.10 mm infuser holds back rooibos and broken leaf.
