Does the job well.

Perfect for loose tea in larger mug. Metal mesh is really fine - I haven't had any loose tea fall thru. It is taller than traditional china mugs and the larger strainer was really not all that much larger than this size. Just put in the loose tea, set in your mug, pour boiling water into the strainer, wait 5 minutes and take out strainer for perfect tea. And be sure to get this one because it has the lid you can put the strainer into after use - makes for much less of a mess.
