does it have a strainer to drink with loose teas?

No, there is no strainer. Mug and lid only. It does a very good job insulating the beverage. I have used for both hot and cold. I recommend it, but obviously not if you need something with a strainer.

No strainer. But for myself, I do like to see the tea leaves floating inside. It is pretty.

No filter for loose tea. mine dropped and broke......loved it while I had it, but that was only about 5 weeks.

No, it doesn't. Checkthe company's website to see if they have an option. I love this thing though. It's the best tea container I've ever had.

As bb said -no strainer. This is a great container though. I've had a host of thermal mugs and thus far this is proving to be my favorite. The form factor is very nice. . and no leaks.

Ryan, ours did not come with a tea infuser. With the strainer on the spout, you don't need one for the blooming tea which is what we use it for. We haven't tried loose tea but it should work for that also. Amazon has one like we normally use for loose tea.

That is correct. It has a lid and ice tongs. Nice product, but no strainer.

Why not put your tea in loose then use a tea strainer over your cup (old school)

No it does not. But I have seen a little TARDIS tea "ball" for loose leaf tea

There is a metal very fine hole tea strainer that is removable. You definitely can pour it with the strainer in. It also can be used without the strainer too. This tea pot is the best I have ever used.

This teapot does not have an infuser basket. This is for tea bags. Nice teapot, does not drip, pretty colour. Have had it a while now, and use it at least once a day. Great pot.

I have a plastic cylinder-shaped tea strainer that I just tried and it fits almost like it was made for it. It is a Finum tea strainer about 3 in. across and tapers from 8 to 7 in diameter. I hope this helps.

No, there was not a strainer included in the one I purchased, but that was over six months ago so I don't know if one is included currently.

No, Guinevere, it doesn't and it doesn't have an removable infuser included either. This is a nuisance if you don't already have an infuser that fits. I do (happy accident.) You might want to use it for white, green and oolong teas and thinking of multiple infusions. But it is usually best to pull the leaves out while you drink your tea so you don't leave the happy realm of perfectly steeped tea into the dank dungeon of stewed tea. In short, you need a infuser. I love this tea pot for its blue color and its size, but it does drip. Karon

Although we do not normally steep loose tea, I decided to try to better answer your question by opening a Lipton tea bag to see what would happen. Because of the fine grind which is much finer than that of loose tea, it went through the screening. I then compared the screen opening size to 2 tea steepers (if that is the right terminology) and the strainer mesh is as fine or finer. Based on my observations, I believe they would work to strain your loose tea.

Yes, the lid is great without the strainer. This is my favorite daily teapot.

Yes it does brew the tea. Theres no "compartment," but it does have a center strainer-type thing that allows you to brew with tea leaves or a tea bag. The insert comes out to allow you to move them easily.

Yes - It's not as fine a strainer as the screen ones that you can insert into a pot, but at the opening to the spigot on the inside there is a strainer.

No. There is a basket to hold the tea leaves. It is shown to the right of the tea pot in the picture.
