Tea Infusers, Strainers & Tea Tools

Enjoying tea is about more than the leaves — the right tools make all the difference. Our tea infusers and accessories collection includes everything you need to prepare and serve your tea with ease and style. Choose from classic mesh tea infusers, disposable filter bags, and innovative infuser sticks for loose-leaf brewing. Keep your tea experience complete with teabag squeezers, holders, and measuring scoops designed for precision and convenience.

For matcha lovers, we carry authentic bamboo whisks for frothing the perfect bowl, while tea warmers and sand timers help ensure every cup is brewed and served at its best. Whether you’re steeping a single mug or preparing a teapot to share, these tools add both function and enjoyment to your tea ritual.

Which tea infuser is right for you?

• Give the leaves room: loose tea leaves unfurl as they steep, so larger whole leaves need a roomy infuser, and the finer the tea, the finer the mesh it needs.
• Infuser spoons and balls: quick for a single mug. Choose 18/8 stainless steel for durability, like the G & H Tea Services pincer spoon infuser.
• Mesh strainers: a fine mesh catches small leaves and rooibos; G & H Tea Services also makes a collapsible mesh strainer.
• Paper tea filters: no rinsing needed. Tea Brew biodegradable filters come in sizes for 1 cup (#1), 2–3 cups (#2), 3–5 cups (#3) and 4–8 cups (#4).
• For a pot: pair a filter or basket infuser with one of our teapots.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a tea infuser and a tea strainer?

A tea infuser generally holds the leaves while they steep; a traditional strainer filters the leaves out as you pour the tea.

Are paper tea filters compostable?

The Tea Brew filters we carry are made from biodegradable, compostable North American wood pulp.

Which teas can I brew in an infuser?

Any loose leaf tea, if the infuser suits the leaf. Fine teas such as rooibos need a fine mesh or a paper filter so small pieces don't escape; large whole-leaf teas, such as oolong, need a roomy basket infuser where they can fully open. Browse loose leaf tea or the Metropolitan Tea Company range.
