Sturdy Golden Stainless Tea Infuser

Engineered for longevity and clarity of taste: this infuser uses 304 stainless steel throughout, with a golden PVD surface layer applied via vacuum ion plating. Total length 8.5 cm; chamber diameter 4.5 cm; wall thickness 0.5 mm; weight 28 g. Mesh is uniformly perforated at 0.3 mm with no overlapping layers or glued backing — ensuring unimpeded flow and complete drainage. Edges are mechanically polished, not chemically treated. The handle extends 3.2 cm beyond the chamber and features a slight upward curve for intuitive thumb placement. No spring mechanisms, chains or removable parts — just one resilient, cleanable unit. Compatible with induction, gas and electric kettles for direct-in-kettle steeping (not recommended for microwave use). Used daily across UK households with hard water, in student accommodations with shared kitchenettes, and by specialty tea vendors for in-store sampling — where consistent performance, fast drying and visual cleanliness are non-negotiable requirements.
