How fine is the tea strainer and how much does it hold?

The strainer is pretty fine. I usually put sencha green tea in it which is a little on the large side, but I purchased some mint tea leaves that were tiny. A few strain through but overall, it works well. I typically put one heaping tablespoon and there's usually room for a little more.

The mesh of the strainer is very fine. The strainer appears to me to be able to hold about 1/3 of a cup.

I gave this as a gift. The owner uses large leaf tea and it holds about 2 - 3 teaspoons when hydrated. He really loves it and uses the strainer in other cups too.

It not a great time for me to research what I will tell you but for now I would not buy this one..I bought another one I like MUCH betterI will try to get back to you to tell about that one. This one has no handle. The description should tell you how much it holds. I think two cups. I is pretty but was no good to work wiht. The othr one is perfet. Hang in there and I iwll g4t you th other name. I don't think it is Amazon. I think it wa Zulily. Hppy Valentine's Day Julia

I would say that the mesh is medium. We don't get a lot of sediment. The strainer holds enough that 2 1/2 tsp will swell to fill the strainer with brewing.

Not very much. I buy my tea in 1 lb bags and silly me I thought this would handle it being 16oz and all but my husband told me its not the 16 oz I was thinking lol! Anyway, I like them. They are airtight. I used them and filled them with the tea that I use everyday and kept the other in the bag and so I don't have to open it as often. My way of thinking is that it will stay fresher longer. Still looking for a canister that will actually hold a pound. I either get some like these, too small, or the flour canister, too big. If you find one let me know. ;)

You can remove the strainer and add a tea bag into the teapot. With the strainer, its perfect for loose leaf tea�

A lot! I only use this for individual cups of tea so it is near empty still when I use it. I would guess it would hold about 3/4 cup when full, so about half of that leaving room for expansion? You could really use it to brew a pot.

~6oz, filled to an appropriate level for tea, this is an appropriate amount for an adult at tea. This is not a "coffee" mug, but a tea cup.

It should strain any fine tea as the holes on the strainer are very, very small. I have enjoyed this strainer as the old type my leaves would stick to the screen and with this strainer they do not.

I just filled my tea pot where I feel it would be safe and not too full. Measured it out and it was 700mls. A 8oz cup is 240mls so 2cups is 480mls and so on. At least 3 8oz cups would work.

No, it is a nice size-14 oz. I think. I am really happy with mine. You can certainly get enough tea in to make a tasty cup. The strainer on mine is 2 3/4 by 1 1/2.

I think it would be a bit small for a 32 oz teapot. I use this for single (albeit large) mugs. That being said, it's an awesome stainless strainer, so I'd buy it anyway :)

40 fl ounces - that is, just volume, no loose tea or tea bags put in, up to the brim, though I never fill it beyond, approx. 32-34 fl oz. It's approx. 1.2L (I actually measured this to answer your question). It's a nice tea pot, I got this one to replace the one I got from the UK many years ago. I do NOT know where this tea pot was made (the bottom only says "Price and Kensington". Regardless of that, I am 100% happy with the quality of this tea pot AND the tea that I make in it tastes right (which is, of course, just a biased opinion).

The tea strainer is made out of metal. The lid has a plastic ( about 1/8" thick around). So yes, if the bottle is not standing up, the liquid will touch some plastic area on the lid.

Yes, the tea strainer sits very deep in the pot with the lid over it. It can hold a good amount of tea, a teabag fits easily, and the lid fits recessed down in it so it also holds it in place. For a small teapot, this is actually a very roomy design.

This container easily holds 32 ozs. of yogurt. Initially you do need to empty the container, you have the strainer sitting in, about every 8 hours or so, because the support legs are short, it doesn't sit high enough to keep the yogurt from sitting in the moisture.

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.

I use tea strainer, and it is also depend on how fine you grind them since it's comes with whole beans. I have no problem with tea strainer.

Sorry, this is my very first tea infuser, hence cannot answer your specific question. The tea leaves I was using look somewhat fine to me, and not much 'leaks out'. And not too difficult to clean out later when I've forgotten about it. If that helps.

It has a beautiful stainless steel infuser that is an open filter container that sits on the lip of the tea pot. The tea pot cover can fit right into the infuser. Since it just sits on the tea pot it can be lifted out to fill or wash. Bought it for my wife's birthday since she drinks tea daily. Only thing to watch is the spout can over flow through the spout if filled too much. With the large size this shouldn't be a problem. RJF
