"My grandparents never touched teabags - loose leaf tea was the only way forward, and after watching an episode of ‘Inside the Factory’  we are inclined to agree & we were determined to only drink loose leaf tea where possible. The glue, bleach and general waste that goes into some teabags filled us with dread and guilt, and so we began to change our habits, to go back to the ritual of loose leaf tea where we could, rather than the ease and convenience of tea bags."

Feldspar's tea strainer is handmade from fine bone china, with hand-punched holes that are just the right size to catch the leaves and a handle hand-painted in Cobalt blue. It’ll sit over any size of cup or mug, and can be hung from its handle when not in use.
