Rosewood Tea Strainer – Stainless Steel/Copper

These tea strainers are hand-crafted using a combination of kikudashi chrysanthemum weaving and tortoiseshell weaving. The inside is lined with a fine stainless steel mesh that lets you brew clean and clear tea. The handle is crafted with shitan rosewood, a durable wood also used in musical instruments and fine furniture. With use, the color gradually becomes brighter and warmer.

The copper takes on an amber hue, giving it a lovely smoky appearance, while stainless steel has a clean and sleek look with little discoloration.

Pair these strainers with our porcelain tea strainer holders for useful and elegant gifts.
