KOGU Fine-Mesh Tea Strainer — Small
The compact member of KOGU's fine-mesh pair. Its smaller bowl is easy to place over an individual cup, while the woven stainless mesh is designed to catch smaller leaf fragments during pouring.
It is deliberately uncomplicated: no moving parts, no brewing chamber to dismantle, just a reusable fine strainer that is easy to rinse and dishwasher safe.
Small or Large?
Choose the Small for individual cups and compact storage. Move up to the Large if you regularly strain into wider cups or small serving vessels.

Let customers speak for us
Beautiful pouch. Thoroughly recommend.
Excellent cuticle nippers. Great quality.
Really high quality nail nipper. Highly recommended! Nicely packaged and tremendously fast delivery -- it only took two days.
Wonderful product: good design, a pleasure to touch and to use, with flawless results. Thank you, Suwada!
Incredible product and craftsmanship. The clippers along with the case have a high quality feel and your nails feel smooth after each cut
As someone who has finally quit to bite and eat my nails, and who also happens to have OCD, this object is a part of the nest purchases I have made.
Perfect instrument worth every penny.
Beautiful teapot from Kogu. I saw this one while I was in Japan and fell in love with the design. The material is beautiful and the size is perfect. Also the packaging was lovely and shipping was very fast.
To be honest, I bought the case solely because it protects the nippers and fits them perfectly; I didn't bother looking for a different $5 option that would offer the same fit. Unlike the nippers—which are simply flawless—the case is vastly overpriced; the cost of three cases equals the price of one pair of nippers. Yet, the nippers represent sheer perfection and embody a huge amount of time and effort, whereas the case is just a piece of leather stitched together.
