Dishwasher safe.

As an official tea snob, I have so many tea infusers, this one is by far my favorite. Worth the price for sure. Here's the best parts about it; 1) it makes a very satisfying click when you rotate the handle to open the ball (you will know what I mean when you get one!) 2) It's just the right size 3) The holes are small enough to keep almost all of the tiny particles from escaping 4) Loaded, it sits nicely on the edge of the counter after using without falling into the sink (I prefer to clean infusers after I drink my hot tea) 5) It is very easy to clean 6) The ball is large enough to allow flow of water inside to steep tea, but small enough to fit inside smaller-mouth cups. TBH though, #1 is my favorite part about this product, strange to admit!

I honestly can't imagine why someone would not like (if not love) this tea ball infuser. It's easy to clean, easy to fill, and works great! I drink tea all the time and it is my favorite way to drink loose leaf tea.

I'm a field hand and a dairy farmer who loves video games and the taste of a nice pinot noir. After working a long day at a Petaluma ranch, I need a hot and soothing drink to help me relax. This is where my new OXO BREW Twisting Tea Ball Infuser comes in and plays a vital role in my daily routine. I fill the ball with my favorite organic loose leaf tea, heat my filtered water to the optimal temperature (more on that below) and pour myself a delicious cup of organic hot tea. Perfection.

I sometimes will brew caffeinated tea (like black or green tea) in the afternoons to give me that final boost to get through the rest of the Petaluma day, then brew non-caffeinated herbal tea in the evening to unwind right before I get in my comfy Petaluma bed. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that my love of wine is only rivaled by my love of a good organic loose leaf tea.

And drinking loose leaf is key.

“Loose-leaf tea” means tea that’s primarily made up of whole, unbroken leaves. Teabags are usually made from the opposite – low tea grades, such as dust and fannings. Dust and fannings are smaller pieces of tea, so they have a larger surface area than whole leaves. A larger surface area means more opportunities for the essential oils (what makes tea flavorful and aromatic) to evaporate, leaving the tea dull and stale. Freshness can be a major issue with typical teabags for this reason, especially if they are packed in a paper box with paper wrapping.

When you steep loose-leaf tea, it has (or should have) room for tea leaves to absorb water and expand as they infuse. This allows the water to flow through the leaves and extract a wide range of vitamins, minerals, flavors, and aromas from the leaves. When you steep tea in a teabag, its infusion is limited by the size of the teabag. Not great.

Also, temperature is crucial!

Most of us in the western world are brought up thinking that all we need to do to make a cup of tea is heat water, add tea, wait a few minutes, then drink it. Although this is basically true, paying attention to the water temperature will help get the best flavor from your tea. Chances are you’ve wondered why your tea doesn’t always taste great or doesn't even taste the same from day to day. While this could be caused by several factors, water temperature is an important one to consider.

Every type of tea has a “right” temperature. When tea is brewed, tannins, amino acids, aroma and flavor compounds are released from the leaves. Some kinds of tea require less heat, while others need more to maximize their distinctive attributes. Brewing at the optimal water temperature for each kind of tea allows the compounds to be released in a balanced way and leads to great tasting tea. Water temperatures that are too hot dissolve tannins and destroy the other desirable compounds in tea. Thermal shock from overly hot water can also burn sensitive tea leaves. The result will be a bitter, astringent, and unbalanced brew. At the opposite end of the spectrum, you also don’t want the water temperature for brewing tea to be too cool. The same compounds that are destroyed with over-heated water won't dissolve properly in under-heated water. The finished tea will definitely lack balance and simply won't have as much taste. A longer steeping time may compensate, but only a bit.

Here are some general guidelines for the different categories of tea.

White teas: 160–185°F (71–85°C)
Yellow teas: 175°F (79°C)
Green teas: 140–190°F (60–88°C)
Oolong teas: 180–200°F (82–93°C)
Black teas: 190–200°F (88–93°C)
Pu'er teas: 200–212°F (93–100°C)

Rolled oolongs and other teas in pearl form are notable exceptions to the guidelines. These not only withstand, but are best when brewed in water near boiling. For these, more heat is required to slowly unfurl the leaves and release their distinctive aroma and flavor compounds.

You’ve probably heard the expression “a watched pot never boils.” Well, in order to judge the temperature of the water for tea using your ears and eyes, you have to watch the pot—and certainly remember to never boil the water. So maybe the adage should be changed to “watch the pot so it never boils.”

When using your senses to gauge the temperature, you’ll need to pay attention to the bubbles and steam rising from the water while listening for different sounds. These change during three different stages of heating water. If using a saucepan you’ll be able to see as well as hear the changes. If you’re using a kettle then you’ll need to rely mostly on sound, although you might also see some steam escaping through the spout.

But I digress.

Whether you're a field hand and dairy farmer in Petaluma, or a big shot corporate suit from San Francisco, this tea ball infuser is a MUST for your tea drinking needs.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Good heavens, why would you want any other infuser? If you drink out of a cup or mug and how else are you going to drink, this is the perfect infuser. It has a little hinge on the handle to twist to open and dip into the dry tea. Then you twist it closed, then you set it into your cup or mug and add hot water. It's long enough to fit into a tall 20 oz mug, about as tall as an iced tea spoon. Enjoy the perfume of the day as the infuser steeps. You can stir in your sugar with it before removing it. It makes for a very pleasant teabrewing experience. There's nothing in the bottom of the cup, there's no leaking, it's absolute perfection. Easy to clean. If you have a cute tiny dish to set it on, and I have a dozen -- just lay the infuser on it after taking it out of the cup, there's no dripping, there's no mess there was just fantastic tea. Buy it, you'll thank yourself. Buy a few for every member of your family and for visitors or in case you misplace this one overnight! Oxo is just about as reliable as they come. Five stars plus for this.

Fantastic product! This is one of my favorite tea infusers out there. While it might not have the charm of some of those other "cute" tea infusers this one makes up for in quality and functionality. It is made very well and I can see myself using this for years to come. Super simple, just twist near the handle and it opens, then you can use it to scoop your loose leaf tea. Close it and put in the water and you're done! I use this on a daily basis and it doesn't let me down.

Pros: Easy to use
Doubles as a scoop
Great quality
tall enough to not be submerged in cup

Cons: It will still let some little bits of the tea through into your drink. (not a big deal to me)

Love this thing!
Other devices have left a coppery aftertaste but this imparts no flavor alteration at all even after stewing for hours so it'd be suitable for all kinds of tea.

The orb is about 1 inch / 2.5cm diameter, meaning you can use it even in small cups, but the handle is long enough that it doesn't disappear inside even our largest mugs.

The plastic handle is divided in half, twisting the tip of the handle opens/closes the orb with a firm snap. The handle is also insulated so it's much less hot than the metal, making it easy to remove from your brew once it's done.

Washing is as easy as snapping it open over a bin and then rinsing off the remaining leaves, best done when the leaves are still wet. I recommend holding it half open and then rotating it fully open once under the tap to ensure no leaves get stuck. Do that every time you're done with it and it'll give you no bother at all.

I had been struggling with messy and poorly constructed tea infusers for a while (and then came the clamshell-style tea infusers that never stayed shut), not knowing that the OXO Brew Loose Tea Infuser was out there.

It works great!

The ideal size for a 32 oz / 950 mL Mason Ball jar (even when closing the lid completely). I like to scoop one of my favorite loose teas in the OXO ball, close the jar tightly, and go. The infuser stays closed and secure. Simple to clean. Doesn't rust or discolor at all.

Highly recommend!

I have tried so many different tea ball infusers over the years, and they always just frustrated me—they were hard to fill, annoying to clean, too small and let far too many fines and even small leaves leak out into my tea. The OXO tea ball is the opposite. It couldn't be easier to fill or clean, it's got a good amount of space for the leaves, and while it does still let some fines slip through, it's nothing major and not nearly as much as other tea balls I've used. I ended up buying a second of these, and I'm thinking about getting another one as a present for a tea-loving friend.
