Mesh Tea Ball

It’s a tea ball (SHOCKING!!!). It does what it needs to do. I find that the reusable cup style infuser works a lot better (less mess).

Gave it a 75; it does what it needs to do and it’s well made, but it can be a bit fussy to get tea in without a mess.

It’s a tea ball. It does what it’s supposed to do. Small bits escape through it so it’s not ideal for small leaved teas. I use it when I’m too lazy to use my steeper (because I don’t want to clean it out) and when I don’t want to use a teabag (because I don’t want to run out of them). I only use it at home though.

Meh-it works okay…small pieces still tend to escape through and taking the wet leaves out afterwards is a mess but if you have nothing else, this’ll do.

I figured that since I was doing a teaware review already I’d toss up a review of this one too and add it to my cupboard, since I’ve had these teaballs practically since I started drinking tea and they’re an everyday part of how I make tea (I know, I know…).

I mean; they’re teaballs. There’s nothing special about them; they do what they’re intended to and the fact they came from DAVIDsTEA over other places really doesn’t do anything to change how they function.

For the most part I find that there’s enough room for expansion for a lot of the teas I drink; though definitely not all of them. However, I definitely have a wide range of teaballs/clamps from various stores and companies in a great number of sizes including one as big as my fist which I use for things like oolongs or black teas such as Butiki’s Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black; teas that need room.

But yeah… Teaballs. They are what they are, and that’s convenient and easy to use. Can’t really complain too much about that.

For most of the teas that I buy, when I put it in the ball, it just goes right through… So i never use it anymore… On the go my Bodem is really preferred.

Yes, it’s a tea ball. Fairly basic. What I like is that it’s sturdy and has a teeny, tiny clip that keeps it closed securely (as well as the hinge closure). Not a speck of tea debris floats around in my cup after using this. It’s much better quality than any other tea ball I’ve ever used.
